Pew Forum | U.S. Religious Knowledge Quiz
Lots of people have been talking about the recent survey that showed atheists and agnostics were the most knowledgeable about religion. Here’s a quiz with 15 out of the 32 they asked. I also looked at the pdf of all the questions they asked. I would have had to guess on three of the questions so even if I got all of them wrong, my score would have still been 29/32, putting me in the top 2%. The fact that I was raised without religion and never took a true comparative religion class just shows how easy these questions are.

“With liberty and justice for all … except you” Land of the Free by empressfunk at deviantart (SFW, kinda large image).
Political satire. Hilarious except sadly true.
Unfortunately, empressfunk missed out on the opportunity to mock USians for regularly breaking the Americans with Disabilities Act, seeing PwD as less than human, etc. Also, nothing on sizism. SO MUCH IS WRONG. I can see how it’s hard to fit it all into one comic strip.

A heartfelt plea for everyone to remember what America means.

I never heard of any bad connotations with the word “liberal” until I started paying attention to national mainstream media as a teenager. But then, I grew up in an extremely liberal area. I will always be, very proudly, liberal and have never hesitated identifying myself as such.

We suck « Why Evolution Is True
Sad. The state of education in the US is deplorable thanks to faith based inanity like creationism and intelligent design.
Why we suck, indeed!

On this July 4, we would do well to renounce nationalism and all its symbols: its flags, its pledges of allegiance, its anthems, its insistence in song that God must single out America to be blessed.
Is not nationalism — that devotion to a flag, an anthem, a boundary so fierce it engenders mass murder — one of the great evils of our time, along with racism, along with religious hatred?
