BS proof of God's existence
Argument From Universal Destruction
1. I woke up this morning and found that the universe still exists.
2. Therefore, its destruction was averted by God.
3. Therefore, God exists.
Consider this
Children are naive - they trust everyone. School is bad enough, but, if you put a child anywhere in the vicinity of a church, you're asking for trouble.

Atheist on the Blog
The more I look at religion, the more I dislike it and what it does to the world and its people. This blog will help you understand why religion is something you shouldn't accept as a good thing in our lives. Above all, don't respect religious beliefs when their practitioners refuse to respect you.
My New Book
My first book, "The Atheists Are Revolting!", was a great success - I sold many times more copies than I ever expected. But now it's time for something else. Something different. Something better! A new book is under way, and it will be all of those things and more. Unlike the first book, you won't have seen any of the material in it in my videos or on this web site. It's all new, it's all original, and I guarantee this will be unlike any book you've ever seen before!

While I'm working on it I will be posting fewer blogs, but watch for news of my progress - as soon as I have more to tell, you'll see it here first. There's a long way to go, but you won't be disappointed when the wait is over!

Religious laws: good for men, bad for women     5 July 2008
Just a small example of what happens when you allow religious groups to take charge of a country's legal system:
Turkish women attack clothing law

About 70 Turkish women have protested in Istanbul after a court found a woman guilty of exhibitionism for fishing in what was termed "improper clothing".

Turkish newspapers quote court documents as saying she was wearing a lightweight outfit like a nightdress, which blew up in the wind.

Last week a judge upheld the men's complaints.

The AK Party - which is led by devout Muslims - has been in power since 2002. Some are concerned Turkey is becoming more conservative under its rule.

Perhaps the most telling part of the story is this:

Men who groped a woman on Taksim Square last New Year's Eve were fined 57 lira ($45, £23).

The fisherwoman in a flimsy dress was given a five-month suspended prison sentence for exhibitionism.

Man committing sexual assault: $45

Woman wearing a dress on a windy day: five-month suspended prison sentence

Muslim discrimination against women: priceless
