Apparently I agreed to do another charity this weekend. I really need to keep a marker and a calendar next to each other. I’ll be joining this Rad Romanian to promote American Atheists this Saturday, December 22nd, immediately following the previously scheduled end of days. On that note, I would also like to point out […]
Air
My name is not Aaron; it’s Aron. It’s not pronounced like ‘errand’ but more like ‘aren’t’. If you take out the ‘o’, and read it as ‘Arn’, you’ll probably say it right. Although it’s better if you read it like the initials, R.N. It isn’t the same as the Yiddish name; it’s Scandinavian. I think […]
Fake Morgan Freeman quote may have a few points about the Newtown school shootings
Some anonymous internet jerk posted a picture of Morgan Freeman with a quote from someone else about the cause of the Newtown school shootings. There is a running joke that anything attributed to Morgan Freeman sounds true. This is the picture along with the quote. (picture caption mine) “You want to know why. This may sound […]
‘Merica Christmas
Check out my homepage here. I know that whenever American Christians bitch about their imagined war on Christmas, they’re really either trying to push their beliefs onto others, or they’re trying force theocratic violations of the 1st amendment. I have no problem with cultural holidays. Thanksgiving is one of my favorites. Obviously I’m not giving […]
Lookie there, I’m in the newspaper
For photos and more links about Aron Ra, click here. There was at least one reporter at the Texas Freethought Convention. I didn’t talk to her much. She was in one of the pubs on Austin’s 6th St chatting it up with Darryl Ray, Zachary Moore, and the like. So when a photographer showed up last […]
Being a closeted atheist can still cost you –so I am coming out.
About 7 years ago, in West Texas, the childhood home of G.W. Bush, I realized I didn’t believe in any god. Even though I later married Aron Ra, a loud, proud and publicly known atheist, I have kept my atheism out of the public arena of ideas. Six years ago, I learned that even posting […]
The Zombie Christ
If you live in the Dallas area, and you like independent films, We’re talking low-budget ‘B’ movies here. Well, lower than ‘B’. If you actually enjoyed the movies on MST3K… if you like movies that are so bad that they wouldn’t even be on MST3K, nor Rotten Tomatoes either… if you were able to sit […]
Aron Ra vs Bob Dutko – ADDENDUM
While I was on the Bob Dutko show, he made several claims purportedly supported by peer-reviewed science. It’s a great tactic in any format where such claims cannot be evaluated on-the-fly. This allows superstitious showmen to misrepresent some comment in the abstract of a peer-reviewed paper such that will make creationists feel as though they […]
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 […]
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 […]
