For many the 5th of May is for feasting on sizzling fajitas and chugging discount margaritas. I know I’ll be at my favorite Mexican restaurant this evening praying to the bartender for him to be generous with the tequila. Unfortunately this day that is supposed to be a celebration of Mexican heritage has been hijacked [...]

Tennessee was again shown to be a bastion of ignorance and science illiteracy, this time by its lawmakers. On April 7 the Tennessee House of Representatives passed bill HB0368 by a vote of 70 to 23.

The TN Atheist Christianity, craziness, irrational fear

In the caption of the picture it says “The Difficult Case” and the illustration clearly shows “Jesus” guiding the doctor to try to find the [...]

Christians continue to rape young children left in their care here in Tennessee, this time in a preschool at a Methodist church in Hendersonville.
