I was interviewed by The Objective Centrist on the notions of physicalism/metaphysical naturalism and atheism’s dependence on that. [youtube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d2FQsdiGBkU[/youtube]
Undebateable
Last week Lilandra debated Carol Everett of the Pro-Life Action League. I was proud of how well my wife did on stage. Although there were a few theistic critics in the live audience, the comments we saw online were exclusively positive and supportive of Lilandra’s performance. The event was hosted by the Bible and Beer […]
Twitter says Bernie won
Normally whoever wins the debate is whoever you already agreed with before it began, but it seems that Twitter has an objective way of determining the winner of last night’s Democratic debate. See the link here. It was an amusing thing to see. The funniest summary I saw on Twitter was “a corporate sell-out, an […]
Anti-choicers Faux Concern for Women.
Beth Presswood, of the podcast Godless Bitches and Atheist Experience, has started a new blog with a take-down of another specious argument that abortion somehow demeans women. She is a dear friend, and her rants against anti-abortion quackery sites like Life Action News, which she calls ” Lie Action News” are not only amusing but […]
Texas Governor Calls Freedom from Religion Foundation “Misguided and Malicious”
Of course Texas Governor and Christian Culture Warrior, Greg Abbott, has pledged his full support for the Childress Police Department’s commandeering of state owned police vehicles for the motto “In God we Trust”. “There can be no doubt that courts in Texas would uphold the constitutionality of the Childress Police Department’s decision to place ‘In […]
The Religious Wrong
Last week, we were supposed to have fallen victim of John Hagee’s four blood moons tetrad prophesy. That didn’t happen, but Hagee made a fat sum of money on his book scaring his megachurch following into the end times, and no one will hold him accountable for being wrong. Harold Camping’s failed end-of-the-world prophesy in […]
Texas now has a spot for the Baphomet statue
Now that Oklahomans have worked out that state sponsored religious monuments on their capitol grounds means allowing the Satanic Temple a piece of capitol real estate too; the Ten Commandments were quietly removed from state grounds yesterday. On the plus side no one was hurt, but on the minus side its supporters are being sore […]
America Have You Had Enough Mass Shootings?
Had enough mass shootings to support better gun laws? President Obama sure has. “A visibly frustrated President Obama offered condolences to the victims of the mass shooting at an Oregon college on Thursday, but he added that “our thoughts and prayers are not enough,” and voters should demand changes to the nation’s gun laws.” No America hasn’t shown the will […]
Should Abortion Be Legal?
People have been able to get safe, legal abortions in the U.S. for over 40 years now. Ever since, Roe Vs. Wade in 1973, abortion rights have been a political football, where our politicians play a game with the health and welfare of millions to score political points. This political season has been the worst […]
Four Blood Moon Tetrad nonsense
I went to the American Atheist National Convention in Salt Lake City Utah in April of 2014. It’s funny because there was a ComiCon going on right across the street. A lot of them belonged with us -and visa versa. Patrick Stewart and William Shatner were both speaking there, but could just as well have […]
