The crooked judges of Amsterdam…

antx — Fri, 05 Feb 2010 23:07:23 +0000

Geert Wilders is currently on trial in Amsterdam. For what? For nothing less then speaking out the truth. I could now go on and type a long text about it, but I rather keep it short as always and leave it to Pat Condell to say what has to be said:

A shame for the netherlands in deed, a shame for all Europe that this trial is actually taking place.

This case also has it´s own website with more informations: http://www.wildersontrial.com/

What´s ideologically neutral?

Regarding the ruling on crucifixes in schools by the European court for human rights, bishop Gerhard Ludwig Müller recently said: “It is wrongly assumed that the public space is reserved for a-religious or anti-religious people.”
Incomprehensible how some people seem to tick…

Homeopathy: There´s nothing in it

antx — Wed, 27 Jan 2010 13:27:48 +0000

On January the 30th at 10:23am a group of skeptics and consumer rights activists is going to demonstrate the absurdity behind this strangely popular pseudoscience called homeopathy in the UK. More than 300 people will swallow a concentrated homeopathic overdose to make their point that “There´s nothing in it”.

Homeopathy is not just a waste of money but also leads people to think of it as a true alternative to real medicine. That can become very dangerous when people have real health problems and are in need for real treatment by a real doctor.

Political correctness

antx — Wed, 30 Sep 2009 19:36:42 +0000

The pope visited the Czech Republic and couldn´t resist in good christian tradition to mock those, who think different then he does. “Political correctness” nowadays doesn´t leave much room there and so he worded his speach that way, that only those without a lobby, would be attacted by it: The non-religious people.

Save your freedom…

In Germany the police state is being established. Surveillance is steadily increasing, Internet censorship is being installed, personal data is being collected and stored and tax money is wasted in large amounts upfront the coming elections for completely pointless endeavours.

Here are two videos that very well illustrate the matters: (in German language so far)

The Greatest Show On Earth

Jenseits von Gut und Böse

Not only the already quite long announced new book by Richard Dawkins “The Greatest Show on Earth: The Evidence for Evolution” will hit the book stores this September, but also Michael Schmidt-Salomon was busy writing a new book. “Jenseits von Gut und Böse” (german for “Beyond Good and Evil” will be out in September as well. While german readers may have to wait a while for a german Edition of Richard Dawkins´ book to come out, an english edition of “Jenseits von Gut und Böse” next to the german one is not yet confirmed but likely. Both books are available for preorder at Amazon.

Evolution Day instead of Ascension Day!

antx — Wed, 20 May 2009 16:29:57 +0000

On the occasion of the Darwin year which we are currently celebrating (200 years ago Charles Darwin was born and 150 years ago his book “On The Origin Of Species” was published), the people behind the german website www.darwin-jahr.de started a campaign to change the german holidays act. On that site they demand to rename the german holiday „Ascension Day “ into „Evolutions Day“ and also set up a petition for that cause.

Along with the campaign a music video “Children of Evolution” was produced and published on YouTube.

Bus campaign in Germany

antx — Sat, 16 May 2009 16:52:19 +0000

The atheist ad campaign promoting a fulfilled life without a god via ads on busses which originally started in Britain has gone global and reached Germany as well. The initial plan to put ads on public transport busses sadly had to be abandoned. Transport authorities in now all major cities throughout Germany have rejected the ads with at best questionable excuses. The EVAG in Essen, the only city originally accepting the ads has withdrawn their agreement after reciving plenty of protests from the public. Other advertising clients threatened to no longer advertise on public transports in case the atheist ads would be put on public busses in Essen.

The message planed to be on the ads reads “Es gibt (mit an Sicherheit grenzender Wahrscheinlichkeit) keinen Gott. Ein erfülltes Leben braucht keinen Glauben. In English: “There is (almost certainly) no god. A fulfilled life needs no faith.”. Considering that this statement is in fact no more aggressive as a “Jesus lives!”, the rejection of the bus campaign shows clearly how low the tolerance in Germany towards people with an atheistic worldviews actually is.

However, the people from the german “Buskampagne” don´t give up that easily. A new plan was forged and now a bus will be rented, furnished with the ads and send on a 18 days journey through Germany, passing in (according to the current schedule) 27 cities. The Campaign sponsored by donations from people all over Germany has up to now reached almost 40.000€.

More infos and the opportunity to donate to the campaign are available on the official website of the campaign:
