About the Editor
6 May 2008
An Atheist Reads the Bible the start of a big project. I'm up to Psalms so far.
There are several new YouTube videos online and more in production and planning. I have decided that video is not my best medium, my arguments come across best in text form so there will be plenty more regular pages too and also some projects which will mix up video and text pages so that the messages can go out to the illiterate and those who seek variety in their media. I feel a bit guilty that I produced no pages at all in April. I will have to make amends in May.
I have changed the message on the front of the site to read nine years in the making. While I didn't have a computer this time nine years ago I had started planning to make a website.
26 March 2008
Two new pages of scams, lifted from the forum, so they can be searched and indexed fully.
Scams 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5
23 March 2008
Jesus: Teacher or Preacher, by Ed Pearlstein. Was Jesus actually teaching anything or was he just a typical preacher, using charisma and rhetoric to cover up flaws in logic and diverting attention away from the lesson of his own life?
George Washington Steered the Titanic into Plymouth Rock by Andras Konya. Barack Obama's strange grasp of constitutional history.
11 March
Law of Nieche, a rather dull American Christian berates me. He thinks he is taking me on as his intellectual equal: I have never been so insulted in all my life.
Theories of Magic Theories of gods are fundamentally theories that depend entirely on magic: explaining the unexplained by means of the inexplicable.
3 March 2008
YouTube launch.
There are more videos (and pages for the site) in the pipeline.
26 February 2008
I have finally admitted to myself that the World Quiz League is not in a mid-season break, I simply don't have enough time to devote to it and I don't want to do it badly. Thanks to everybody who has played. If my circumstances change I will restore it again.
25 January 2008
A much delayed spruce-up for the new year.
Dream Me a Million dream the winning numbers of a big lottery and I'll buy the ticket, for a modest 90% handling fee.

Chaplain Hank a US Navy Chaplain tells me where I'm going wrong. Apart from getting most of his spellings right he doesn't seem to be any different from the usual Christians who pop in to have a go. He's not offering anything remotely like a new and special insight. How very disappointing. Are there no decent challengers out there?
More Power to 'em 2 Daniel Barulich (Son of Christ) and a debate about capitalism.
12 December 2007
Restore this Limb in Jesus' Name! A new cunning stunt by the Church of Ultimate Naked Truth
11 December 2007
I have undertaken a big cull of a lot of string-derived pages, removing inbound links at this stage, with removal of the pages themselves to follow shortly.
A wholesale reorganization of material in the Strings section with six pages of Answer the Question, even numbered containing material not safe for work and odd numbered pages being a bit cleaner.
Answer the Question 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6
The string pages were getting out of hand, they were not as funny as they should be and they accounted for a huge proportion of site traffic to little obvious benefit. Now there is far more content on the pages which have replaced them and the humour is less bizarre and more targeted. I expect these pages will serve the site much better, bringing the number of visitors down but the actual impact of the site up.
