About a month ago now, Phil Plait (the Bad Astronomer) gave a talk at The Amaz!ng Meeting 8 that stirred quite a reaction among some folks in the skeptical movement, both positive and negative. I had my own strong reaction, and have enjoyed the self-criticism that this talk fostered. I have had many conversations about it since with skeptics holding varied and contrasting views about the best approaches to adopt when working to advance skepticism and critical thinking in our world.
We're making the video available online so that more people may take part in the conversation and because some of the criticism of the talk came from people who hadn't yet seen it.

Table Dancers Turn Tables, Show Up To Church To Protest Being Protested

A fair number of people in the U.S. - - estimates range from 20 million to 40 million -- believe there will be a Second Coming in their lifetime, a Judgment Day when the righteous are spirited away to a better place while the godless remain on Earth.
Eschatology raises many troubling questions, but my immediate concern is what happens to the pets of the righteous? Bart Centre, a retired retail executive in New Hampshire, has concocted a plan to address this issue, and make a buck off the apocalypse to boot. Last June he started Eternal Earth-Bound Pets, USA -- “The next best thing to pet salvation in a Post Rapture World,” says the Web site -- a service that promises to rescue and care for the animals left behind by raptured Christians. “If you love your pets, I can’t understand how you could not consider this,” said Centre, 61, in a telephone interview. Crazy, right? Well, to date he has more than 100 clients, each paying $110 for a 10-year contract ($15 for each additional pet.) If the Rapture happens in that time, the pets left behind will have homes -- with atheists. Centre and a partner have set up a national network of godless humans to take on this mission. Centre told me he came up with the idea while working on his book, “The Atheist Camel Chronicles,” in which he says many unkind things about theists in general and Christians in particular.

The recent decoding of a cryptic cup, the excavation of ancient Jerusalem tunnels, and other archaeological detective work may help solve one of the great biblical mysteries: Who wrote the Dead Sea Scrolls?
The new clues hint that the scrolls, which include some of the oldest known biblical documents, may have been the textual treasures of several groups, hidden away during wartime—and may even be "the great treasure from the Jerusalem Temple," which held the Ark of the Covenant, according to the Bible.

We’re all aware that religion provides some individuals with comfort and solace, as a surrogate for understanding, when faced with harsh realities and difficult challenges. Religion provides people with the sense that they have a script to follow when they are unable to divine meaning or direction themselves. Someone, or something, external takes responsibility, to help bear the burden, to blame, for the things that impact their lives.
Religion circumvents the risk of accountability for the decisions we make. To be called by God to do something is both much more aggrandizing as well as much safer. If things don’t go well, it was His idea not yours, right?
To be called by God to run for office or advised through the secret communication of prayer, as it seems is the case with most conservative politicians these days, provides an immediate trump card of authority to bolster an individual’s ambition. It preordains any loss or rejection as either the will of God, or the work of his evil arch nemesis. The fragile ego of the individual remains intact and unblemished.

GodBlock is a web filter that blocks religious content. It is targeted at parents and schools who wish to protect their kids from the often violent, sexual, and psychologically harmful material in many holy texts, and from being indoctrinated into any religion before they are of the age to make such decisions. When installed properly, GodBlock will test each page that your child visits before it is loaded, looking for passages from holy texts, names of religious figures, and other signs of religious propaganda. If none are found, then your child is allowed to browse freely.

We on LF have already discovered preacher Benny Hinn. Here's a recent blog post from someone who witnessed the heartless selection process that the infirm undergo before they are chosen to be "cured" onstage by the intercession of Mr. Hinn.
Quote:
------------
The prayer leader stopped. He looked at the kids parents and said, "This isn't gonna work. Sorry. He's [motioning to their son] just not ready for this."
Ugghh... my insides sank.
The kids Mom collapsed to her knees and smothered her anguished shrieks ("Nooo, baby, nooo!") with her face buried in her son's lap. And the look on the kid's face revealed that he truly believed it was all his fault.

Scientology Myths wants to find answers to the questions that are being asked all over the internet about Scientology, Scientologists, the Church of Scientology and L. Ron Hubbard. Information about Dianetics and the leader of Scientology, David Miscavige, are sub-topics and touched at times. Our goal is to find answers from independent sources, not only from Church of Scientology owned sites or anti-Scientology sites. If you miss information, please contact us.
We pull our information mainly from court documents and other neutral sources and lay out the information for you to come to your own conclusions. Honestly, there is so much false and biased propaganda on the internet that we sometimes have a hard time separating out all unverifiable falsehoods. If you see something like that, speak up please! We promise that the information you find here is less hysterical and less one-sided than on the big paid anti-scientology information sites and we are trying hard to get better and better ...
