Why we’re skipping church, according to The Onion.

“The New Tithe”

A critical examination the big business of megachurches, including some pretty sharp infographics, and a suggestion to donate instead directly to charities which make a difference (I’m assuming that the intended audience includes churchgoers, but it could apply to the non-religious, too).

Christians Have to be Rebublican I’m a stickler for spelling, so this typo gave me a chuckle.  It’s from a video promoting a book called “The Outsider Interviews,” which Hemant at friendlyatheist.com mentioned recently.  But apparently whoever made this video isn’t so good when it comes to spelling the names of political parties. I, for one, have to admit that I tend to stereotype Christians as REBUBLICANS.  It’s awful, I know. (I owe it to David in the comments section for pointing this out.) Click for high-res photo

Real Church Signs

A nice little Friday time-waster. Some of these are pretty awesome.

christiannightmares: Church sign: “When You Are In Him And He Is In You Great Things Happen” hahahahaha They should put that on a t-shirt.  It would be extra ironic if a Christian at an anti-gay rally were wearing said shirt. Click for high-res photo

Did Michelangelo hint at the clash between science and religion in the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel?

Here’s a really interesting blog post from Scientific American.  In addition to being a painter, sculptor, and architect, Michelangelo was also an anatomist who began dissecting corpses at the age of 17.  Two experts in neuroanatomy from Johns Hopkins believe that within the details of God in one of the panels of the Sistine Chapel’s ceiling is an accurate depiction of the human brain and spinal chord.  The SciAm blogger in this link thinks this hidden imagery may have been a commentary by Michelangelo on the clash between science and religion.

This goes hand-in-hand with an observation, first published in 1990, that the ceiling’s central panel depicting the creation of Adam also contains an illustration of the human brain:

I wish I could laugh this off as just a harmless joke, but it’s indicative of serious efforts at anti-science indoctrination, which is bad for everyone. One commenter on reddit had a good retort:  “If there really was a god, mothers would have more than two hands.” (source) Click for high-res photo

When I was a kid I had an imaginary friend and I used to think that he went everywhere with me, and that I could talk to him and that he could hear me, and that he could grant me wishes and stuff. And then I grew up, and I stopped going to church.
