with all the RP posts about atheist discrimination in the US, i thought this was an interesting snapshot of US-UK cultural differences re religion.... from a poll this week..... http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/6463527.stm

I was listening to October 13 episode of On The Media when Faker... and Harder (sound file, transcript not yet available) caught my attention. There was some back and forth about whether or not the study was true, but the gist was that The Daily Show contained just as much substantive...

Anyone catch Rapture Ready's appearance on The Daily Show? (Apocalypse Now) The folks at RR did.

You may need to register to view it. Or just go to bugmenot. http://www.philly.com/mld/philly/15003846.htm Overall, pretty good.

Hot on the heels of last weeks revelations that we are heading for a record number of measles cases this year, the Mail on Sunday/Daily Mail has got its knickers in a twist again about the vaccine. First a column in the Mail on Sunday yesterday by Peter Hitchens, and also a story about 2...

I was reading the Sydney - Sunday Telegraph today Big mistake - this paper annoys me at the best of times but today they crossed the line. "Psychic's 'vision' saved pensioner" :mad: I have written to the paper expressing my outrage. Is there a so called newsagency anywhere that actually...

I've been amusing myself lately, by going through the horoscopes in Metro (a fere daily newspaper here in London) and counting how many of the 12 "readings" seem appropriate each day. So far, I have been getting between 6 and 11 "hits" each day (if half or more of a specific sign is...

I'm wondering if anyone else here uses the rituals and ceremonies of religion? I'm an atheist Druid, basically the pagan lifestyle without the extra calories of deity. So, religion-light. I realize the fact that I am a social animal and that myth and ritual are important facets of my...

http://worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=47370 Anyone have any specific idea of what this book is supposed to be about? The article and the "readers’ reviews" are very vague. It looks for like a shameless plug than a genuine attempt to educate the public about how "Evil" is being...

Dan hogan's response today is all very well, but the astrology section is still there.

"Evolution Schmevolution: A Daily Show Special Report" I would think that John Stewart is one of the good guys. But with a title like that, who knows!

Today's centre 2 page spread of the Daily Mail (UK) features an article entitled "Killed by Homeopathy". It relates the sad case of a woman, Julia de Vaatt, who following a breast cancer diagnosis, went down the homeopathy route with the inevitable result. Her husband details all the junk that...

A two page article on Clairvoyants-not read it yet but I doubt it reveals any astounding truths.Just a heads up for UK members. 40p! :D

This is very disappointing to see Jon Stewart not calling him on the bullsh**. Kennedy is basically raving (as well as he can with that scratchy voice) about a massive conspiracy. Jon's basically buying into "arguementum ad populum." Because "so many people are passionate." Wow. Jon, I'm...

I just watched the re-run of last night's Daily Show, and it looks like RFK Jr will be on tonight. Don't know if it'll be mercury/autism or if he'll be talking about something else, but probably worth watching...

Ian's mention of the Daily Mail and the horoscope offer reminded me of the time the same newspaper reported wihtout a hint of irony that "renowned psychic" Betty Shine had "Died Unexpectedly".

Anybody watch the Daily Show with Jon Stewart last night (rerun today) about the Presidental Prayer Team? http://www.presidentialprayerteam.org/ That was SO funny. The Presidental Prayer Team is a bipartisan group which is praying for whichever Bush is President. Meanwhile...

Dont know if this belongs here or in humour... but anyway: www.qwghlm.co.uk/other/dailymail.php

The genius Jon Stewart (and, of course, his writers) stuck a pretty good one to organized religion. They were showing a story about the Anglican Bishop and some of his critics. One Anglican priest objected to the bishop because: *I believe biblical religion to be based in reason* To which...
