how babies are made

*from Louis, Pharyngula reader* When a mummy and a daddy love each other very much, sometimes the mummy will look at the daddy’s thingy and the daddy will look at the mummy’s hoohoo and they will give each other a special hug. They have to be married to do this or else mummy is a horrible, horrible slut. Then the fairies at the bottom of the garden will ask The Baby Jesus to give mummy a baby...

why support this backward medieval nonsense? →

This is a response to PZ Myers’ question on why ordinary American Catholics ignore the doctrine, like the ban on birth control, and yet continue to support the Catholic Church. I can give an answer because, for a time (i.e. the entirety of my teenage years and my early twenties), I was such a liberal Catholic. For as long as I can remember, I supported homosexual relationships, gay...

Happy Ash Wednesday! I wish to celebrate the start of Lent by sharing an article on how the Catholic Church has fucked up reproductive health here in the Philippines. As I type this, the population in this predominantly Catholic nation is careening towards the hundred million mark, with most rapid reproducers among the poorest of the poor.

same bullshit, different label

Question: How do you get people to support bullshit that they normally wouldn’t? Answer: Associate said bullshit with their favorite brand (of bullshit). I assure you, it works.

Take this real-life example. I...
