Why I do not believe in God, by Dick Gross
This a very good article from The National Times, an online social commentary and opinion website run by Fairfax Media, owner of the Sydney Morning Herald, The Age, and The Australian Financial Review. To view the website, go to the National Times website, go down to 'The Bloggers', and find 'Godless Gross' amongst the blogs. Can someone tell me who is Dick Gross? Probably wants to remain anonymous. Funny name, if that is his real name.Why I do not believe in a GodBy Dick GrossThe National…See More

- Edwin, welcome to Atheist Nexus. Be sure to check out the GROUPS page to find like-minded people. And don't be shy about the ABOUT ME section. That's how we'll get to know you.
I've started five groups here, so please join any you think you might be interested in: ARS POETICA, LOVERS OF SHAKESPEARE, HUMANE ATHEISTS, ODDITORIUM, and my newest 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. Please check it out.
BTW, is Wan a Chinese name?

Wyatt posted a blog postTheists, Cargo Cults, and Logic
So tired of religious apologists asking me to show evidence for the non-existence of their particular god. I've asked them how they would go about showing evidence for the non-existence of the dragon in Carl Sagan's garage or Russell's celestial teapot. They assert that the analogy is false, but don't explain how. They use words like 'logic' or 'inference' as if they were magic charms without fully understanding what these words mean. It's not unlike superstitious primitives from a cargo cult…See More
