I’m split on how to react to this story. A woman last January was spotted “driving on the wrong side of the road and through red lights at speeds of up to 70mph”.

Unfortunately, her car veered off the road and onto the pavement, killing a mother and her daughter. At the scene, the driver told investigators:

Somebody had their foot on my foot and their hand on my hand - it wasn’t me driving, it was Satan

The work of the devil?

Today she got cleared of causing death by dangerous driving.

However, she only got off the charge by entering a plea of insanity, and the jury decided to accept the plea within 15 minutes.

This whole event raises questions about how to handle religious nutcases like this woman. Should we really play along with their “insanity” when two women are dead? On the other hand, at least the courts recognised that claiming the devil did it is pretty stupid.

Hopefully she’ll be locked up for a long time in a mental institution. It’s one thing to suffer the delusion of God, but blaming your insanity on Satan and killing two innocent people is just too far.

CapnOAwesome shows us how to make a sandwich that can only be enjoyed by people who don’t follow the doctrines of Christianity, Islam, Judaism, Buddhism, or Hinduism. If you are an atheist, you can enjoy this sandwich!

If anyone wants the ingredients, there they are:

• French Bread (because France is a very secular country)
• Alcohol (for drinking whilst you cook, but it’s also forbidden by Islam)
• Bacon (forbidden by Islam, Judaism, and Buddhism)
• Cheese (when used with meat this is forbidden by Judaism)
• Beef (forbidden by Hinduism and Buddhism)

Finally write “Fuck Jesus” or some other sort of blasphemy against Jesus on the sandwich using mustard or mayo, and you’ve offended Christianity :D

An interesting CBS story on atheists in America, and why they have started “lashing out” in society:

Interesting statistics from Atheist Media Blog:

I just found an interesting video on YouTube by askegg which chronicles his conversion from being a Christian to being an atheist. It’s about 8 minutes long, and contains simple text (in the form of points) set to music. I think it’s a very good example of the rational thinking that leads many people (myself included) to convert from theism to atheism. If anyone is wondering why atheists have converted and stopped believing in God, this is the video for you.
