Reading thru the Codex pages written by Altair that are found by Ezio in Assassin's Creed 2 it's quite obvious that Altair is an atheist based on his writings in Codex XX and Codex XXX Codex XX I long for the day when men turn away from invisible m…

I thought Dante's Inferno was too repetitious. I was bored with it after a few hours and sent it back to Gamefly.

I was going to set up a group for Deaf Atheists, but figured I'd probably be alone in here if I did that so I figured I'd open it to anyone who knows sign language or even interested in learning it.

I wish I did. Nearly every deaf person I know personally is a Christian. I would love it if there was something anywhere for deaf atheists to meet up. Hell I'd settle for a local atheist group that just had an interpreter that could bridge a communi…

That's cool that your wife is going the extra mile to communicate with a deaf client. Not many people would do that. Most just pass notes or use an interpreter. It's cool that you're taking the classes with her as well. I'm glad you're enjoying them.

Since my original post here Splinter Cell: Conviction and Red Dead Redemption have been released. The latest upcoming release I am most looking forward to now is Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood. The new multiplayer on it looks kick ass.

Christmyth Time

I'm curious about how fellow atheists celebrate the Winter Solstice holiday season if at all, especially those of you who who have children.

For me I haven't really celebrated the solstice in years. Last year was the first time I celebrated the holiday. My son who was 6 months old at the time and I flew out to Pennsylvania in January for a late Xmas celebration with his mother. I say "Xmas" because his mother is a devout Christian and that's obviously what the holiday is to her. This year I'm t… Continue

Jumping the Fence

What makes former atheists switch sides become theists? Were they really atheists in the first place or do the likes of people such as Lee Strobel simply claim former atheism in an attempt to give their theism more credibility? Or an attempt to lure real atheists into theism by claiming to have solid enough evidence to convince an atheist of the supernatural? Are there really any true atheists who become theists by choice?

Atheists switching sides seems far outside the realm of logic or reason.… Continue

Atheist scholars believe in a historical Jesus???

I've been debating on and off with Christians in the blog of Rev. Brian Zahnd. Most recently I've been arguing with the Reverend himself in his post titled Knowing and Believing. In the comments following his post I mentioned that I didn't believe that a historical Jesus ever existed. Rev. Zahnd was shocked by my statement and claimed that he had never heard a single scholar make that asserti… Continue

Thanks DeafAtheist, it's nice to meet you too! :-) Yes, it's true, I don't meet too many deaf atheists. I did meet at least one other deaf atheist, and I heard about a second deaf atheist, so I did know prior to finding your group on Atheist Nexus that I wasn't the only one out there.

I bet you'd like "Blasphemy," the movie. I posted it to Youtube a while back, with subtitles. It's hilarious! :o)

DeatAtheist, please consider joining my new group HERCULANEUM: A PLACE FOR MEN. Herculaneum is a group where men can discuss and explore the ideas, goals, demands, ethics, sexuality, and nature of manhood and masculinity. It is a place where we are free to be ourselves, and discuss the issues most important to our identities as men.

I have already started two discussions to get us going: How do we define manhood in the 21st century? and Rites of Passage: A Lost Ritual?.

This is a private group, and discussions can be viewed by members only. Membership is open to men only.

How true! Maybe they're gonna have to bring back witches.

Well, you hit the nail on the head. They DON'T make any sense! They are alwasys telling us gay ppl that we choose to be gay, rather than accept that we have not choice in it. If their god made us that way, then they would have no reason to feel superior to us.

Wyoming is better than the southeast, from what I've seen. It's still a solid red state, though. My big point was that there are no cities. The closest it has are Cheyenne and Casper, each of which are around 50,000 people. The entire state barely…
