Moral Dilemma: Leather vs. Plastic

Posted by on Apr 22, 2008 in Rants | 5 comments

I have always felt strongly about animal rights in a half-assed sort of way, being that I don’t subscribe to the notion that humans have “dominion” over other animals that they have been “put” here for whatever purpose we humans foresee. If I were to accept that idea, then clearly as a woman I must be here for men to do with whatever they please. But that’s purely offensive! As a woman, I think I should be equal to – and not above – any man, which...

Stein to Darwin: “Why don’t you just live quietly”

Posted by on Apr 17, 2008 in Links, News, Rants | 5 comments

In this interview, Ben Stein answers the following: 5. What would you like to say to Darwin?  “You are a wealthy man, you married a wealthy woman, why don’t you just live quietly out in the countryside and not torture us with your half-baked suppositions, which have caused so much misery?” So, in essence, Stein wants Darwin to not have the same freedoms he is supposedly fighting for? Why don’t you just live quietly… Half-baked suppositions? Misery? Even if evolution...

Exposed Again

Since PZ Meyers has asked that we link to Expelled as much as we can, I decided to help out the cause. NOTE: I don’t usually do things just because I’m asked, as in the case of the Out Campaign “A” . I realized that we shouldn’t have to do this for many reasons. The scientific truth should (ideally) stand taller than fabrications and cute stories. But not always. How can the support for science (evolution, in this case) ever be equated with Nazism and/or Fascism? I...

A New Planet?

I’m sure this isn’t news to most of you, but in case you aren’t a space geek like me: The smallest extrasolar planet – weighing just 5 times that of Earth – may have been found, using a new technique that analyses changes in a known planet’s orbit. Though some scientists are skeptical of the claim, the research team says the new planet’s existence could be confirmed with further observations later this year.  Dubbed GJ 436c, the planet orbits a dim red star 30...

Spam sucks, period.

Posted by on Apr 7, 2008 in Rants | 0 comments

I have received a lot of spam for The Coming Out Godless Project since it began and counting. Most of them come in the form of comments completely unrelated to the particular story being commented on. But since I don’t moderate comments (and only delete utterly offensive ones which rarely happens – or actual spambot spam), I let it flow. Generally, someone else will comment later, asking that person why he/she said what they said or something else pertaining to the obvious Christian...
