Reason in the Rock [Little Rock] was well-planned and played well. Kudos to the Arkansas Society of Freethinkers and the Central Arkansas Coalition of Reason.
Going to have to burn my new Secular Humanism T-Shirt by Lilandra
WTH?! I followed a link from a blog comment linking the Tea Party to Fascist government to a secular humanist site. You know you have to be ever vigilant against fascism. Right? But then what is up with this site’s banner… Why make a point to everyone that visits the site that you are “Beyond […]
Don’t blame the atheists
How often do you get microphone from the steps of the state capital, right? Here is a link to the recordings wherein our governor, Rick Perry declared ‘spiritual warfare’ against secularists and atheists. http://www.rightwingwatch.org/content/perry-christian-warriors-spiritual-warfare-satan-separation-church-state
Update on Malala
The Girl Shot by the Taliban, Becomes a Global Icon Not what the Taliban had in mind. The unfolding story of Malala Yousafzai comes with an inspirational quote: “If Pakistan has a future, it is embodied in Malala Yousafzai,” the editorial reads. “Malala has shown more courage in facing down the Taliban than Pakistan’s government and its […]
Malala Yousufzai
I love this girl. How could you not? And her story evoked my favorite quote from any media source this whole year: Religious extremists all make the same mistake. They all fail to understand that all of the foundational holy books of major religions -all of them- have really really crazy dangerous stuff in them; […]
A new meaning for right-brained vs left brained
I hardly have time to do or read anything anymore, so I haven’t read the associated study behind this article from Discover magazine, only the article itself. Past experience has taught me to cautious of conclusions based only on that. The interesting implication herein is that having more gray matter in the anterior cingulate cortex […]
Ultimate Blasphemy!
Lilandra here.According to the Bible, the ultimate, unpardonable blasphemy is rejecting the Holy Spirit. Apparently, rejecting the imperceptible and undetectable is unforgivable. Are you Unforgiven II? httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G-Bn_kD6QN4
On Atheist Warm Fuzzies
By Lilandra I suspect atheists experience less warm, fuzzy moments than theists. A lot of us are philosophically opposed to something like bowing our heads with family, and friends in prayer before we break bread. A skeptical mind can be quite the buzz-kill to believer fellowship activities. In real life, I sense that I make […]
The Black Knight always triumphs!
Now that Pastor Bob Enyart has failed to defend a single one of the laughable claims he made while I was on his show, after admitting that he hadn’t even read the rebuttals he was supposed to respond to, and despite being unable to disprove me on any point therein either, I suppose it is […]
Are atheists really good without “god”
By Lilandra Of course we are. Then how could it be possible for Atheism plus social justice issues to possibly divide atheists? If atheism is simply restricted to a non-belief in God/s like some apparently orthodox atheists are insisting, then where does morality originate? God? Of course not! Morality has to be intrinsic, and undiluted […]
