While April fools day is funny I think that we should research what days certain theories were proven and have a thread for it on those days for education. After all isn't finding and knowing the truth what we are about?

Yes its funny. But I also believe it is totally appropriate. The billions over the centuries that have been fooled into insane beliefs. I don't make this suggestion as a joke - I'm deadly serious about it. I have found no atheists I know in person that think this is a bad idea.

Didn't think it was a bad idea just think we could do better. Least that was my reasoning. After reasoning further I see the appeal and you have a new supporter on this idea.

Actually, no its not. Being an atheist is about not believing in God. Pure and simple and nothing else. I don'te like it when I hear atheists say such things. Partly because it sounds pretentios and partly because it sounds fluffy, and without substance.

April Fool's Day is appealling because it highlights who the fools really are. Any other day can be celebrated as a day of reason or discovery or else it's someone's birth or death day. April Fool's is good for the fact there is no reason for it to be celebrated.

April 1st is a brilliant idea. To put a significance to a irreverent day is perfect.
Silly tradition parodies, atheist songs, and literature from the great free thinkers by the fireplace.

Its all good. No hurt feelings here. I'm always willing to admit my mistakes. And I'm glad you pointed it out to me. Keep up the good work on your blog. I'll add it to my list of things to check out daily, and perhaps Il'l be linking a few stories...
I have always said that indoctrination of children into religious teachings, by parents or schools is akin to child abuse and should be looked upon as such.
No sweaters or cutlery, though Martin Pang did leave his martial arts exercise area in the garage--punching block on the wall, mirror for checking form, and ceiling hook for heavy bag. I don't know if The Neighbor of the Beast (Registered trademar...
Not a hypocracy, no. I personally don't believe in souls. The soul is tied to the idea of the afterlife and since I'm pretty much agnostic about an afterlife I don't have any reason to believe in them. My feeling is that if there is an afterlife m...
This group is all about the freedom of expression, from an Atheist point of view. As the nonbelieving minority in a quasi-theocracy, it is essential to all we hold dear that our voices never fall silent.
I think I feel so strongly because I'm sick to death of these idiots having any input whatsoever into the way the rest of us run our lives. They seem incapable of not telling other people how they should live their lives.
So, we're watching a Wiggles Christmas DVD with my 7 year-old daughter (Note: For those of you Wiggles-challenged, the Wiggles are an Australian kids entertainment group). We get about 10 minutes into it and they are talking to some kids dressed a...
A group for all those evil atheists who care about the environment. Let's discuss environmental issues in this group!
I agree with the sentiments above. I find it strange how someone sitting on a bus talking to someone nobody else can see is considered mad, yet if that person were on their knees, hands together in a church it's ok? Am I missing something?

There are two types of people in that category--those that get over it and get on with their lives, and those that spend the rest of their lives trying to make everyone around them just as miserable a...
