Protection for Godless UCL Students

The Atheist, Secularist and Humanist society at University College London (aka The Godless of Gower Street) need your help in choosing what message to print on the condoms they'll be handing out at the university's upcoming Welcome Fair!


As Alex Gabriel from The Heresy Club says:
I think this is brilliant. It shows atheist communities are sex-positive; we support you having as much or as little sex as you want, however you want, with whomever wants it too, and we don’t think you need permission from God or the Pope. We support contraception giving women control over their bodies, and advances in science that protect us from STIs. We don’t call consensual sex sinful, we celebrate it in all its forms.

There's currently a poll open in their Facebook group to see which one of the five designs - three of which are pictured above - proves to be the most popular and they want to know what you think. You can click here or on the image above to go place your vote & spread the word via Facebook, Twitter, etc.

Either way you'll be helping to protect godless UCL students from both religious interference and sexually transmitted infections.

Gay Marriage - The Dinner Table Debate: Dan Savage vs. Brian Brown


With the New York Times' Mark Oppenheimer moderating, Dan Savage (the sex columnist and originator of “It Gets Better”) invited Brian S. Brown (a conservative Catholic who is president of the National Organization for Marriage, an anti-gay-marriage advocacy organization) into his home to debate the issues regarding same sex marriage in the USA.



Oppenheimer wrote about the event in in a NY Times article entitled, 'After Dinner, The Fireworks', which gives some great background as to how the debate came about and what the participants thought about it several days later. Currently there's just the one video on the YouTube channel, but here's hoping they decide to continue the series and address many other contentious issues.

If every Underground station had a Biblical name

I quite like working between 'Leviticus Square' (the irony of it being in SoHo) & 'Thou-shalt-not-covet-thy-neighbour's-Ox-ford-Street'.

"5 years ago, I was disowned via letter when I came out to my father. This is how hate sounds."

This stunningly heartless letter, in which a father disowns his son for coming out, was recently shared on Reddit.

Topless Olympic protesters arrested outside City Hall


Ukrainian women's right group Femen staged a topless protest against the perceived support being given to "Bloody" Islamist regimes, by the I.O.C. allowing them to compete in the Olympics.

We could send a rover to Mars every two weeks if we just did what?

You may remember in June of this year that University of Tampa professor Ryan T. Cragun, along with his students Stephanie Yeager and Desmond Vega, found a way for the United States to raise an extra $71 billion in taxes.

How? By removing the tax exemptions given to religious organisations.

Why am I bringing this up now?



Because someone was kind enough to work out what $71 billion would buy is in Mars rovers and it's a handy fact to have to hand the next time someone starts questioning the need to fund space exploration.

Judgement Day: A Rapture themed Rebecca Black parody

I was just thinking to myself "I wonder if anyone has made a parody of 'Friday' based around the world ending today?" and luckily YouTube didn't let me down:

Watch this and start your morning off with a smile



Turns out this amazing song was part of the The Rock & Worship Roadshow 2011, and features Mercy Me a Christian band from Dallas. I'm in danger of losing my Militant Atheist card if I keep posting things like this but I just can't help it when they make such awesome videos!

Even as an Atheist I can't help loving this Purim song

I hadn't heard of the Jewish festival of Purim before but this song by The Maccabeats makes it seem like a great celebration.



Catchy isn't it?
