Christ @ Work. The Bible does contain some fine moral advice in it. It also contains some inhumanly evil moral advice. It also contains some foolish nonsense that dresses itself up as moral advice. That doesn’t make it much different from any number of other books, ancient and modern.

Extremophiles. What might humanity be able to engineer for ourselves to become extremophiles? What dangers do exremophiles present to humanity?

Interfaith Dialog. In some places, disagreements are resolved by discussion. In other places, disagreements are resolved by flogging.

Islam is Peace. Islam, like Christianity and all religions, is a collection of mean-spirited superstitions invented by illiterate pre-scientific nobodies that we have no reason to heed.

Krankheit. Sometimes sickness is a benefit.

The Latter-Day Saints and the Boy Scouts of America. Maybe it wouldn’t be such a terrible thing if the Mormons got out of the Scouting business.

More Sperm. February 2005 saw the return of OVO after 13 years of hibernation. The theme for that issue was ‘sperm.’ Sperm remains in the news, and here are some of the top sperm stories from the past two years.

Peaceable Protests After Amsterdam Attacks. Police in the Dutch city of Amsterdam say several peaceful protests were held in the sixth night of memorials after officers shot a Moroccan man dead.

Priorities. It seems that other people being free to celebrate or have their own superstitions is intolerable to Muslims, while public whippings and stoning are just fine as long as they occur in-house.

Publius Enigma. It has something to do with Pink Floyd and the Internet and a treasure hunt.

Saturn Return. Saturn Return is when Universe picks you up from under the Christmas tree and shakes you to see if it can figure out what you are.

SB777. SB777 protects religious belief against discrimination. It also protects discrimination in religious belief. Only religion can distort the rule of law to this degree.

Sharia in the United States of America. It is illegal to non-surgically amputate people’s hands as a punishment for a crime. Illegal under United States law, but legal under sharia law.

Superstitious Exemption from the Rule of Law. For better and for worse, it is not the case that we can all happily get along. But where there is the rule of law and not force, fiat or superstition we can at least get along peaceably.

Two Articles from All Africa. Replacing witch doctors with Christians is not going to help the situation.

Two Links via God is for Suckers. All money spent on religion is money wasted, wasted more thoroughly than money spent on weapons or torture. At least when someone is killed or tortured, something happened.

Workplace Religious Freedom Act (S. 893). If this bill becomes law, then religious employees will have rights and privileges that no atheist employee can have.

February 2005 saw the return of OVO after 13 years of hibernation. The theme for that issue was ‘sperm.’ Sperm remains in the news, and here are some of the top sperm stories from the past two years. Court in the United States and in Israel have ruled that sperm can be harvested from dead men for use in artificial insemination. Competition between males in the race to impregnate females has caused evolutionary changes in male sexual physiology and behavior. A woman named Holly Marie Adams had sex with identical twins. The DNA tests administered to determine who is the father of her child are a 99.999-percent match to either man. OVO 15 SPERM included information about the mood-altering effects of sperm, but there is also some evidence sperm is addictive. Crossing the trail of destruction left by OVO 16 ANTICHRIST comes Ezekiel 23. To quote the Skeptics Annotated Bible, this is a tale of two sisters: “Two sisters were guilty of ‘committing whoredoms’ by pressing their breasts and bruising ‘the teats of their virginity.’ As a punishment, one sister’s nakedness was discovered, her children were taken from her, and she was killed by the sword. And the fate of the surviving sister was even worse. Her nose and ears were cut off, she was made to ‘pluck off’ her own breasts, and then after being raped and mutilated, she is stoned to death.” We place emphasis here on the lusts of one of the sisters, who preferred a man with a penis like a donkey and who came like a horse. If you’d like to have the inspirational Ezekiel 23:20 on a t-shirt or a thong, Landover Baptist Church can provide. The Quran claims that sperm comes from somewhere ‘between the loins and the ribs.’ Islam also forbids the oral stimulation of men, lest such include the consumption of sperm, but does not prohibit the oral stimulation of women. And if all that isn’t enough sperm for you, here’s a few hundred more articles…
