Brian Sapient on "Nightline" re "Blasphemy Challenge"

Brian Sapient, of Rational Responders (the site is temporarily down from the flood of traffic generated by this media appearance) was on "Nightline" talking about the "Blasphemy Challenge" on Jan. 30. ABC News was even kind enough to post a video of the entire segment of the interview, as well as videos of people taking the blasphemy challenge and the URL of the site online. Read their article here. I think they were somewhat fair, but the whole, "taking on God" and "fighting God" rhetoric is a little thick. Go Digg the story.

Cry, Bang, then Laugh

You'll get the title in a second...

Check out Karen Armstrong's piece in the Guardian, "Bush's fondness for fundamentalism is courting disaster at home and abroad". It may contain a spurious quote.

I also wanted to share a resource that clears up the misconceptions surrounding the Big Bang in layman's terms and with adequate detail, via Angry Astronomer.

Finally, check out these two hilarious Youtube movies to start out your week:
1) Daily Show Report (in the "Constitution Schmonstitution" series): The Faith Based Faith of Stephen With a 'ph'
2) Kids in the Hall present: The Dr. Seuss Bible
