Belief Does Not Equal Truth!

While catching up on what is happening around the atheist blogosphere, I ran across a post at Religion *is* a Problem (update: this blog is no longer available) that absolutely requires a rant. In fact, I think I may have just identified my #1 pet peeve (at least for today) about some religious believers. Of course, I recognize that many religious believers will find this every bit as upsetting as I do, but I still want to make sure they are taking the correct lesson away from it.

The story concerns scientist and entertainer Bill Nye being booed by Christians for highlighting an incompatibility between reality and their bible. Yes, as farfetched as it seems, it appears that there may be some Christians who have managed to remain so ignorant of reality that they are unaware that modern science conflicts with some of what is in their bibles.

Carnival of the Godless 72

Welcome to the 72nd Carnival of the Godless! Contributions have been pouring in all week, and there is some great godless reading to be found here. I hope that you will enjoy the posts as much as I have.

If this is your first visit to Atheist Revolution, welcome. I am an atheist blogger living in a particularly harsh climate for atheists, Mississippi, so I appreciate the opportunity to interact with my fellow atheists more than I can quantify. I started this blog in early 2005 to promote freedom from irrationality and to oppose Christian extremism in America.
