our home is complicated...We, atheists, have a problem on our hands... We do not have an international company nor a small shop-front from which to sell the concept of being an atheist. We don't have a church not even a cottage industry... We do not have "followers" because we don't have anything to be followed for, except our raw essential human ethics based on sound analysis of reality and a lack of god(s). Apart from some famous atheists who can be counted on one hand for raking in a living from it, there is no money in atheism.

choppergate: the hypocrisy of the right is bottomless....Prime Minister Tony Abbott is expected to make his first public comments about the scandal later on Saturday. But Fairfax Media understands he is standing by his Speaker. At a closed door event on Friday Mr Abbott reportedly dismissed the scandal as "village gossip". However the Prime Minister's office says that was not an accurate reflection of what he said. Coalition ministers and MPs are quietly furious that the scandal has derailed their attacks on Labor over union corruption, and some have described her position as increasingly untenable. But Finance Minister Mathias Cormann says he strongly disagrees with that assessment.

thinking of turdy abbutt gives gus tourette syndrome... but gus has no choice than relentlessly expose turdy's hypocrisy...Prime Minister Tony Abbott said this week the CEFC should not invest in established technologies that can easily attract private funding. "As long as it exists, it might as well be as useful as possible and … invest in new and emerging technologies, the things that might not otherwise get finance," he said. That view apparently contradicts comments by Mr Robb in 2011 when the Coalition was in opposition. He said the fund proposed by Labor would be spent on "all sorts of wild and wacky proposals that the banks would not touch in a fit". "This fund will be a honeypot to every white-shoe salesman imaginable," he added.

Not every evildoer is an evil person, but if you commit enough despicable acts you might just qualify as the real deal. How else can you explain serial killers or war criminals? There are, however, some provisos, writes Luke Russell.
