So…is Benny Hinn like a Kiai Master? This video is disturbingly nuts, with ol' Hinn waving his hands at the True Believers and knocking them over. We need to smuggle some godless people in to one of his shows to...

There were all these carnival notices clattering around in my mailbox from last week, and they all got lost in the chaos for a while, but here they are, a bit late. The Humanist Symposium #1 Skeptics' Circle #59 Carnival...

This worked fairly well last time around, so let's try it again. If you'd like to have your blog on the Pharyngula blogroll, here's what you should do: Examine your blog with a critical eye. If you are espousing creationism,...

There's more to invention than just slapping a new wrapper on an old device, and sometimes the superficial approach can lead to some funny results, like the Tampon Taser. The copy describing this device is weird: in addition to...

But if you're gullible enough to believe Hoofnagles actually exist, I suppose you could go say hello to them at their new Denialism blog. I will point out, though, that if one Hoofnagle is improbable, the chances of two Hoofnagles...

Since I didn't get in my usual god-bashing today, you'll have to take in The Carnival of the Godless #65 and Revere's Freethinker Sunday Sermonette. They'll clear the piety out of your sinuses and flush the veneration right out of...

Too much traveling lately. Today Skatje and I hit the big city for a couple of events. We attended the Minnesota Atheists fundraiser in the morning. Somehow, I ended up volunteering to give a talk to the Minnesota Atheists...

Oh, come on, Boston Globe. They tip-toed around, avoiding naming me or the weblog, but I think everyone here can figure out what they're talking about. Yet even Gilder, seemingly a lightning rod for the socioeconomic controversy of the...

Yesterday, I was reading a good article in the October 2004 issue of Wired: "The crusade against evolution", by Evan Ratliff. It gives far more column space to the voices of the Discovery Institute than they deserve, but the...
