We’re protesting SOPA and PIPA today with banners placed on all our properties.

Please join us by visiting American Censorship and adding your voice to those protesting against legislation that could censor the internet and could results in sites like ours having to shut their doors.

Even if you don’t live in the US you can still protest by petitioning the State Department who constantly speaks out about internet censorship in other countries.
Pressure them to speak out about America’s new domestic censorship system.

Help kill SOPA and PIPA in order to keep sites like ours alive for your enjoyment.

Take Action: Petition the State Department and Stop American Censorship.

This is one of the many reasons I have little to no respect for religion.

Unable to win a debate with the man when he was alive, unable to refute his logic, unable to prove anything of substance about their religion, they simple have to have the last word after he passes away by making yet more untenable claims.

What makes this even worse is that this pompous, self-ingratiated idiot, couldn’t even spell Hitch’s name correctly.

Christopher Hitchins No Longer An Atheist
Tuesday, 20th December 2011
The Rev Fred Nile MLC, Leader of the Christian Democratic Party, has expressed his condolences and sympathy over the suffering and finally the death, from cancer, of Christopher Hitchins.
“However, whatever his beliefs in those last minutes as a proud atheist, Mr Hitchins is no longer an atheist” said Rev Nile.
As the Word of God, the Holy Bible, states “for we shall all stand before the judgement seat of Christ so then each of us shall give account of himself to God” (Romans 14:10; 2 Corinthians 5:10).
“It is a pity Christopher Hitchins’ brilliant mind could not have been used, like his brother, to point humanity towards Jesus Christ the only begotten Son of Almighty God.
“Atheists enjoy philosophical arguments about the existence of God, but avoid confronting Jesus Christ – the Way, the Truth and the Life in Whom Almighty God has revealed himself to a needy world” said Rev Fred Nile.

The English language does not contain nearly enough adjectives in the positive for a man that mastered it.  Christopher Hitchens owned the English language in such a way that mastery is an unfitting term.  Not only did he always point his intellectual compass toward truth and his morals toward the improvement of the human condition, he conveyed his ideas in such a way as to inspire us to greatness.  The man may have died, but the ideas, the writings, and the spoken words will live long after.

A polemicist like no other, he hated the consensus.  He taught us to challenge strongly held beliefs and ideals.  He made us cherish the human race and the solidarity that binds us together, E Pluribus Unum.  He fought against evil and never backed down from a challenge.  He slaughtered sacred cows in the presence of their owners.  He looked death in the face and was never afraid even without the comforts of religion.   He told us that religion poisons everything.  His ideas are an antidote that we should prescribe to a society that cherishes the poison that he lamented.”The Hitch” gave us so many remarkable quotes:

“That can be asserted without proof can be dismissed without proof.”

“Princess Diana is the perfect metaphor for a land mine:  easily laid, difficult and expensive to get rid of.”  -out of context

“If he was given an enema, he could be buried in a matchbox.”  -About Jerry Falwell’s death

“Don’t go loving my enemies, go love your own.  My enemies are the theocratic fascists and I want them destroyed.”

These are a few favorites among a volume that could fill a bookshelf.  He made a living by thinking up the contrary.  In most cases the “Au Contraire” opinion was the one better reasoned. He made the religious and the credulous his enemy and befriended those who fought for reason, science, and better life.  He never cared whether offense was taken, as taking offense is not an argument.  When Christopher Hitchens had an argument with you, you were made to look a fool.  Let us pour a glass of Johnnie Walker Black (accept no substitutes) and toast a man that represents the best of human thinking.  People may die, but ideas live on.  Especially the best of them.

To Hitch:

The title says “Love Is Stronger Than Hate”.

And this is why they were firebombed:

Charlie Hebdo, the French satirical journal, was in 2007 the only publication in France to print the Danish Mohammed cartoons. As a result, Charlie Hebdo was then charged with slandering a group on the basis of religion, but was finally acquitted after a two day trial.

Charlie Hebdo today intended to commemorate the Islamic victory in the elections in Tunisia by temporarily renaming itself “Sharia Hebdo” and appointing the Prophet Mohammed “guest editor” and putting his portrait again on the cover.

The “Sharia Hebdo” edition had not even appeared yet, when last night the paper’s Paris offices were fire-bombed and its web-site attacked and taken down.

One hundred lashes if you don’t die laughing!

Michigan Senate Democratic Leader Gretchen Whitmer responds to Republicans gutting an anti-bullying bill by inserting language that specifically allows bullying to occur based on religious or moral reasons.

I tried to find a link to the actual bill but it doesn’t appear to be up yet:

Here’s a link to Bill 4162 (2007). The bill now also has language that says requirements don’t “prohibit a statement of a sincerely held religious belief or moral conviction of a school employee, school volunteer, pupil, or a pupil’s parent or guardian.”

Remember kids. In America bullying is very, very wrong unless your attacking someone who is stupid enough not to share your religious beliefs.
