The book written by David E. Comings, M.D. titled: Did Man Create God? is an excellent book filled with scientific debunkings of Intelligent Design and Creationist arguments as well as psychology of religion. He compares the spiritual brain with the rational brain, he talks about complexity, evolution, origin of life...it is an amazing resource to add to your arsenal of christian/theistic debunkings.

The website for his book is: www.didmancreatgod.com I had the pleasure of meeting him at this year's Atheist Alliance International Conference. Cheers.

Started reading a new book by Dan Barker, tittle "Godless." It tells of his conversion from a fundamentalist preacher to a leading atheists. It's a very good read, right along side Hitchens, Dawkin's and Harris's books.

Be sure to check out my book too about why I realized Christianity cannot possibly be true and why I therefore had no choice but to leave it. :-)

I want to recommend the book: Peter, Paul, & Mary Magdalene by Bart Ehrman. I got it from Audible and have been listening to it over the past few days. It is a fascinating an revealing book on the real lives of these extremely important figures in early Christian history. Bart Ehrman writes so well and brings complex historical and literary issues into focus.

I have a collection of good atheistic books here.

As a freethinker I would be very interested in any comments, positive or not, to my book Life After Faith (http://afterfaith.wordpress.com). After many years as a christian minister I left the "fold" to learn from Nature, to read and write more earth-centered material. Right now I'm reading Thomas Paine and the Promise of America; The God Delusion; and Last Child in the Woods. Just thought I'd mention it. Happy reading!

Chris, I have gone to your website, and when I am through with my class, I am definately going to read Life After Faith! I will let you know what I think. I'm sure it's fascinating! Right now I am reading American Gods by Neil Gaiman (one of my fave authors!)

Death of a family member

Posted by Larry Taylor on May 20, 2013 at 8:15pm 5 Comments

OK. I am venting. My mother died two weeks ago. She was a “god fearing christian.” Before her death she refused all medical treatment. She wanted to be left alone. She even refused to speak with my brother who is a methodist minister. He is a pip, let me tell you! I suspect she did not believe, but a woman born in her time could not and did not state her actual beliefs. This is the opening salvo to all christians; FUCK YOU! I had so many people come and tell…

Unbelievable!!!!!!!!

Posted by Christy Stewart on May 20, 2013 at 2:17pm 6 Comments

This probably should not have shocked me as much as it did (especially since I am in Texas). I actually thought my coworkers were playing a joke on me because they know I am an atheist. Sadly, this was no joke. This actually happened.

I work in a psychiatric hospital. The doctors who admit patients are general MDs. (Psychiatrists see patients after admission) Yesterday evening we received several calls from irate parents. A new doctor who was doing admissions yesterday actually…

anti-atheist rant from an Orthodox Mormon part 2

What do you think of this,

 

Nathan Young,

 

No Jason Torpy it is you that should be banned for promoting atheism, a belief that has no foundation in reality and zero proof behind it.  The letter was a mockery of your atheist beliefs.  I request to the board here that they remove Jason for his unverifiable beliefs in atheism for which he has no proof other than his arrogance.  The letter was a mockery of atheism.  Atheism is stupid and it should be mocked and it…

Anti-atheist post from an Orthdox Mormon

What do you think of this Facebook comment?

 

 

Nathan Young to Jason Torpy,

 

for once you and I can agree on something.  We should disrespect beliefs that are untenable such as the belief that there is no God.  Indeed for me to respect you Jason, I cannot respect your belief in non-belief in atheism.  Your atheism comes across as arrogrance, smugness, and self righteous.  Indeed after reading "An Open Letter to My Religious Friends" I penned one…
