I’ve never published a book before. So I’m pretty excited about this. My book is available on Amazon for pre-order. Copies should be in stores come November. I’ve scheduled a promotional tour with different secular humanist skeptical atheist groups for a nice circle round the western states where I grew up. Once there are links […]
Ark Encounter Needs a Trigger Warning
It can be difficult to make it through the Ark Encounter and maintain a cheerful optimism about the future of mankind. Ignorance is proudly on display everywhere. For those, who left childhood creationist indoctrination behind, it is a particularly difficult trudge through a literal boatload of lies.The rationale for the Ark Encounter is displayed in this […]
Meeting the Chaplains at the Children’s hospital
I’ve been interviewed many times, but not like yesterday. The Chaplains at Childrens Medical Center of Dallas reached out to Metroplex Atheists asking for someone to advise them. The Chaplains know how to soothe the faithful, but they wanted to be able to comfort unbelievers too. I commend them for that. This hospital has one […]
Watch this space
Aron Ra has some exciting announcements and new developments that he will tell you about after he gets back from protesting Ken Ham’s Ark Park next week. People, who appreciate his work on popularizing science and secular advocacy, will like that he wants to launch a new science-related video series larger than the scope of the […]
We’re protesting Ken Ham’s Ark Park
Ken Ham of AnswersInGenesis ministries may look like Cornelius from the original planet of the ape series, but he is the kingpin of dogmatic pseudoscience propaganda, who’s organization is at the center of science denial for every other peddler of religiously-motivated snake-oil around the world. Next week, he’ll be opening another affront to reality in […]

House Democrat Sit In Comes to an End Now What?
Perhaps House Democrats have decided they have made their point about the importance of passing a gun legislation bill and have ended their takeover of the House floor and adjourned. “It is late,” House Minority Whip Steny Hoyer said at 3:36 a.m., just after leaving the floor. “The House is adjourned.” He added, “We will be […]
House Democrats in Seventh Hour of Sit In over Gun Legislation
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 […]
My Social Justice
This is not the subject I’d rather focus on. But I need to address some things, and I’d rather do it all at once. The reason I joined American Atheists is because I’m an activist: I could have been satisfied with making videos in my spare time just for their entertainment or educational value, and […]
