Atheist Charity List

Because atheists like giving (and getting) gifts too!

There’s quite a thorough list of secular charities at Effort Sisyphus:

DonorsChoose.org: a simple way to provide students in need with resources that our public schools often lack.

Kiva.org: lets you connect with and loan money to unique small businesses in the developing world.

The Union of Concerned Scientists: The leading science-based non-profit working for a healthy environment and safer world.

American Red Cross: The American Red Cross, a humanitarian organization led by volunteers, guided by its Congressional Charter and the Fundamental Principles of the International Red Cross Movement, will provide relief to victims of disasters and help people prevent, prepare for, and respond to emergencies. The USA’s premier emergency response organization, over 91% of Red Cross spending is on charitable services.

Just to name a few. See them all.

Get your Kabbalah Vodka chocked full of Christian Infants

Vodka

Mmm, sounds tasty.

Via Friendly Atheist:

It’s probably fake, though. We all know there are no such things as “Christian Infants.”

“Kabbalah Vodka with the Children of Christian Parents” just doesn’t have the same appeal, though…

Exactly. You may also read the explanation.

Burka Barbie takes sexism in the opposite direction

Barbie has always been known to stir up controversy. Her tiny waste, tiny feet, huge boobs, and revealing outfits have always been there to comfort young girls everywhere. Which is precisely what has always been what stirs people up. Now that version is put to shame with Burka Barbie!

Barbie has always been best-known for her revealing costumes and impossibly pneumatic figure. For her 50th birthday, though, the queen of the toy shop has apparently decided it’s time to take a more modest approach. A new exhibition of the globally popular doll has her appearing in a traditional burka.

The look, which will come as a surprise to those who remember previous incarnations as an air stewardess and a French maid, is part of a Mattel-backed anniversary celebration of dolls in multicultural outfits created by the Italian designer Eliana Lorena.
