"Welcome to the world of Chick Tracts!!!
If you go to www.chick.com (I don't want to make a real link), you can find all kinds of examples of those tracts. They're always WAY over the top and incredibly entertaining because of their…"

"Wonderful series of books! I got them before knowing anything about their supposed anti-religious tilt and loved them. Knowing more about them now just makes them so much more delightful. ;-)

Positive Atheism
Frequently, the writings of atheists tend to be critical of religion, theistic beliefs, and dogma rather than positive toward non-belief. It’s a necessary tack to take on a regular basis when confronting religious activism in politics, education, health care, and science. I do it myself. However, sometimes it seems that there isn’t enough written about the positive aspects of atheism… how non-belief is beneficial rather than how theistic beliefs are harmful. Sometimes we’re so busy defending…See More
Dan Gilbert replied to Ryan Goldblatt's discussion Thoughts on the "Ryan" report in Ireland...
"I, too, find that disconnect extremely disturbing. Theists regularly claim that their religions provide them with an objective moral base... but I've yet to see (or hear) any of them really describe, in detail, what that base entails and how it…"

"The ruling actually wasn't about gay marriage. It was about the legality of the Constitutional modification that occurred... not even about the Constitutionality of the modification.
Perhaps gay marriage supporters will propose another…"

Finding Life's Meaning
Posted on March 25, 2009 at 2:55pm 0 Comments 0 Likes
Theists frequently make the statement that, without religion and God, there would be no purpose or meaning in life. It's somewhat offensive, but definitely misguided. I decided to philosophize about it a bit in my latest blog post at RationalityNow, if you're interested.

It's a great way to start of the bible... with a supposed omnipotent, omniscient, benevolent being either lying to Adam or making an error. Go figure.
For the details of my take on it, go to… Continue

A Vacation Treasure (Religious Tract)
Posted on March 9, 2009 at 12:22pm 0 Comments 0 Likes
I was on vacation in Mexico last week at a great all-inclusive resort near Cozumel. During one visit to the restroom, I found a religious tract sitting on top of the urinal (clean and resting against the wall... not soaked!). I grab them whenever I find 'em because they're usually entertaining. I made a blog post about the whole thing on my site if you're interested in the amusement. :-)…
