Atheist Resources (a wiki)

While the project is still a young noob, Atheist Resources is an excellent resource site started by db0 of A Division by Zer0 with Larro of Ungodly Cynic.

As far as contributing, anyone can create a wiki entry, so if you have resources you’d like to share feel free to do so. As I said though, this project is in it’s infancy and I’m not entirely sure we are going to stick to the wiki format/platform. I’ve recently checked out Drupal (per db0’s inference) and I am digging that quite well. BitWeaver has quite a bit of functionality as well.

All-in-all I am excited about this project and in spreading the “word”, so-to-speak.

Blog about it

Sorry, I don’t know who to credit for this one. If you do, let me know. :)

Assualt on Psychology

I received an email with the following:

From the Church of Scientology and it’s front group the CCHR (Citizens Commission on Human Rights) here is a series of videos that attempt to destroy the good work done by mental health professionals.

Scientology has been changing their focus though their numerous front groups such as the CCHR. They are setting up a massive campaign against psychiatrists and drug companies.

It’s high time that psychologists, psychiatrists, counselors and scientists involved in the betterment of mental health get involved in opposing Scientology. The group Anonymous and many long term critics has been hard at work fighting the abuses of Scientology and it’s front groups, but we have yet to see any people involved in mental health join our ranks. (maybe there were I didn’t see any)

This video series is horrible, but the general public may believe it. It’s total manipulation with many short out of context quotes.

Blessing pets now?

This image


reminds me of this post by the Friendly Atheist last week. How can an animal have faith or even be aware that such a concept exists? Can they? I doubt it, but its hard to ever know. More importantly, would an animal ever need faith. I can’t see why. Perhaps that’s why they’re being blessed?

Also, is this exclusively for pets but not all animals? I wonder why they’d be so exclusive.

You can also see his follow-up post concluding that dogs can be atheists (lol).
