The Raw Report is reporting that Carol Everett has been awarded a 1.65 million dollar grant for her Heidi Group that seeks to dissuade women from having abortions. I debated Carol Everett on the legality of abortion last October and she made many claims that just don’t pass scientific muster. Since then, she has been testifying in favor […]

Number One New Release in Christianity
This book has been something like eight years in the making for me. The official release date is November 1st. So my book hasn’t even been released yet, but it’s already the #1 New Release in Christianity on Amazon today! There’s a certain irony in that, I think. 🙂 Yes, there will be an audio version. […]
Brilliant satire of racial justice denialism by Youtuber Edward Current
Social Justice Warrior is often meant as a pejorative. The insult is applied by everyone from Rightwing crank sites like Breitbart to people who aren’t as religious but share a few opinions with the Religious Right -the new Alt-Right. The Alt-Right centers nativism even over religion as an integral part of its identity. A trait that is shared […]

In the wake, of the largest mass shooting in American history in Orlando that caused the death of 49 LGBTQ Lantinx Americans, House Republicans staunchly refuse to even bring proposed gun legislation to a vote. In this election season, it is all too convenient to not have your name attached to a no vote on not […]
If you needed another reason to go to Reason Rally…
More than a few atheists (unfortunately), who are angry at Reason Rally for standing up for Reproductive Rights and LGBTQ equality, are refusing to go. I can’t say I will miss the unwarranted hostility because there will be plenty from creationists like Ray Comfort. Aron posted a video commenting on the diversity of viewpoints despite what anti-feminists […]
