The Koran hasn't copped it for a while
While I was looking at the previous stuff there was a link to the Sceptics Annotated Quran. Looks like it would be good for a giggle.
The Bible
The nice people at wikimedia have popped a bible online. Because it's online it can be searched! Yay! Facts and cross referencing. That should be handy.
The over the road fundies wandered by today. After some pro-porn banter I decided to claim that the bible allowed slavery so sexual slavery was probably permitted too. Anyway, having no idea I decided to look it up. Christians were holding the bible up saying it allowed the keeping of slaves before the American civil war... were they right? It, like so much of the Bible, is ambiguous. If you are ambiguous you are not infallible you just have never committed to a position.

Hitchens again.
This is the first part of Christopher Hitchens' talk at the Freedom From Religion Foundation - 30th Annual Convention on October 13th 2007. Hitchens received the "Emperor Has No Clothes" Award.
I can't agree with Hitchens' call to war. I wont go to war. I wont go and kill people because they disagree with me. His ideas on this suprised me.
First of 7 videos.
