Why Polygamy is allowed in Islam

I’m not even going to comment on this because the counterarguments and flaws are just too obvious. (Have fun counting!) I just think it’s amusing – in a trainwreck sort of way.
The guy who wrote it (Dr. Zakir Naik) isn’t some obscure commenter. He’s all over YouTube doing Islamic proselytizing (4,370 videos), [...]

Getting Rich Impoverishing the Poor

I really don’t like check-cashing places, payday loans, or all those other “get money quick” businesses that seem to have cropped up everywhere. Basically, they say to me that “this neighborhood is poor, and we’re working to make it even poorer”. I heard about a loan place recently that was offering loans to [...]

Bedbugs are Vicious, Evil Little Creatures

Over the past month, I’ve had the unfortunate experience of discovering what bedbugs are like. These little bugs hide near your mattress and come out at night to suck your blood. They look a little like ticks (but they aren’t closely related to ticks at all). They have a hypodermic-needle like proboscis, [...]

Sarah Palin: Olive Branch to the Christian Conservatives?

The Friendly Atheist has a bunch of posts up about Sarah Palin (McCain’s Vice-President choice). I liked this part:
In 2006, a questionnaire was sent to all candidates for the gubernatorial race in Alaska.
One of the questions was this:
