This weekend I’ll be in San Diego for the 72nd annual conference of the American Humanist Association. I’m not speaking at this event. I’m really just there to report and get some interviews on video. I was most excited about meeting Dr Richard Leakey. He and I shared some emails a decade or so ago, […]

‘Merica’s “downhill slide” is an uphill battle
I finally posted my talk from INR3 on the topic of how ‘Religion Reverses Everything’. Thanks to Bill Ligertwood’s video production company. I used his footage and mine, and overlapped the audio on both of our mics for a richer sound. I also want to call attention to the video response by Baud2Bits. Baud2Bits […]
Apparently, I cheesed off Ken Ham
I’ve even gotten comments to the effect of why can I not leave poor Ken Ham alone. All for criticizing his visit to a Texas home school conference to sell people on his supposed advantages of teaching their children Young Earth Creationism over actual science.

Answer to Ken Ham on Homeschooling and Creationists
The Nones will be discussing abuse of Homeschooling by Creationists like Ken Ham as the top speaker at The Texas Homeschool Coalition’s Convention Houston this August.

Gaslighting -shaming women for emotional reactions and for speaking up.
