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 […]
A professed pro-life feminist’s attempt to co-opt feminists of the past.
A “New Wave Feminist” pro-life advocate posted three strategies aimed at abolishing abortion that she believes will, “make abolition a beautiful reality.” They are… 1. “Pro-Life Feminists” What does make an impression is when women who are self-described feminists adopt a pro-life position. It blows people’s minds a little bit. It’s the thing that started […]
Morton’s Dementia
Back in the days of Usenet, one of the posters to Talk.Origins was a former creationist named Glenn Morton. He is the author of a meme, Morton’s Demon which explained the sort of confirmation bias at work in the religious mindset. This he had witnessed from within and without, and his story is an interesting […]
Lutheran Citations
I’m going to use this forum to address a criticism made against me on YouTube. I don’t think it warrants a video response, but neither can I properly convey my defense in comment blocks limited to 500 characters or less; especially when YouTube doesn’t allow them to be sorted and read in order, and they’ll […]
No saved recording of the Bob Dutko debate
In my debate with Bob Dutko, he criticized me for not debating the existence of God -which was my choice of topics from the selection he gave. I wish we had been able to talk about that, but instead he wasted most of that hour burning and re-building his strawman of my position while ignoring […]
