Occasionally I’ll get a PM that I think warrants a public reply. The questions recently posed to me by quranresponse are a good example: I am talking to you now, as smart atheist manwomen I want to see your opinion how can atheism solve the world problem Atheists are simply people who are not convinced […]
A Complimentary Compilation of Quotes
People say, if there is no God, what is the meaning of life? My response to that is, what is the meaning of God? Because whether anyone’s god exists or not is irrelevant. Either way, we are arrogant, vain, but still evolving apes, and all our sacred scriptures are just man-made mythology. Confirming God’s […]
Truth vs Make-Believe
I just got back from the national convention of Atheist Alliance of America. Despite the name, they still have strong international connections. There were people there from Canada, the UK, New Zealand, and Australia. These people always put on a posh event in an elegant venue, and they really try to make it a good […]
What they or I meant by ‘absolute truth’
It seems that whenever a creationist doesn’t understand something I said, they immediately accuse me of lying. It could never be that I’m mistaken, or that they simply don’t agree; I have to be deliberately attempting to deceive someone. As if. Religious people have every motivation to lie, not just because they believe something that […]
Micro vs Macro – The Creationist’s Selective Acceptance
Last week I did a special after-show recording with David Smalley & Rachel Nanon Brown for the “4th Listeners” about micro-evolution vs macro-evolution on Dogma Debate. I was helping them prep for a Christian who will be joining them next week when I can’t be there. This guy says he accepts micro-evolution, but claims that […]
Mawage
I can understand how some people think that life had an intelligent designer, because life is intricate, delicate, complex and amazing. But I don’t understand how anyone could look at the Bible and think that it had an intelligent designer, because the Bible is a jumbled clusterfuck of atrocious stupidity. For example, I hear an […]
Can we agree that an education is a basic human right?
In an information based society, undereducated children are at a disadvantage. Besides a mind is a terrible thing to waste, right? Here is my speech at The Houston Museum of Science hosted by Houston Atheists in defense of accurate science education for everyone. It had a pretty good turnout of 250 which was the capacity […]
Underneath it’s all the same love
I was surprised to hear a powerful song on mainstream radio about LGBT rights for one thing. But then the song is also openly anti-religious too. When I thought about it how can a song about how harsh the world is to LGBT people be anything but anti-religious in order to speak the truth? The […]
Some Insights from Bridgett “Bria” Crutchfield and Alix Jules on being a Black atheist

Bridgett asked me during the discussion if I understood what they go through. For video link click on the title. […]
Arguing on Craig’s list
Someone sent me a link to an article on craigslist which I couldn’t help but reply to. Sadly there doesn’t seem to be any discussion forum that I can follow there, so I’ll re-post it here. This article answers a previous post to this forum, one which included the following comment: >”Evolution is accepted without […]
