Bay of Fundie

I found this on Snopes:

Here’s a quiz: What was Snopes’ determination about this picture?

I hope you got our quiz question correct!
The sad fact, though, is that most of this picture’s target audience will get that question wrong.

I came across three interesting articles this last week. I thought I’d pass them along.

I really liked “Against the Gods: Arguments Against God’s Existence” by Ken at Arizona Atheist. It’s a long, thoughtful argument that refutes many of the arguments for God’s existence. Check it [...]
