Who says "a church" can be nothing other than a religious institution?

Interesting, William. I'm only 52 and I'm a huge fan of immortality and transhumanism, but I can understand your somtimes looking forward to the stoppage...I feel myself sometimes.

I very much disagree with Sam on that...I don't think hiding is at all beneficial. Sure it sounds silly to have a group of people whose major point of commonality is not believing in gods...but it's only necessary because the majority of the populat…

I agree with the ideas, Fred. Some atheists do have the same kinds of social needs that many Christians find in church. As a general rule, and a helluvan irony, I think most atheists take "God and religion" more seriously than most Christians do. Fo…

Holiday Wishes

Holiday Wishes

The origin of "holiday" is a melding of "Holy" and "day"; a day set aside for special or particular religious observations or rites. Now there are many holidays, some religious or with religious ties, some completely secular. For many these are simply socially acceptable opportunities to temporarily free themselves from economic slavery. This fact alone should cause one to seriousl

Death of an Atheist

Death of an Atheist

I was born in the Springtime

In the Winter I will die

The Harvest Moon is shining

As my time draweth nigh


I brought in some sheaves, I guess

Though now I don't rejoice

For to embrace religion is to

Silence freedom's voice


The cool chill of Autumn's wind

Slithers down my spine

The harbinger of death I hear

Whisper through the Pines


I do not stand and quake in fear

Or call out to a god

No more dow

As Evening Falls....

As Evening Falls...

Fade in:

It's early evening on the first day of August, down in Georgia. It's sticky as usual but not burning hot and, after supper, El Solo Lobo is in the porch swang, Rebel Lobo sets the rocking cheer a-going and over the sounds of the crickets they ruminate on the day...


El: Yeeeeeah, hit were a good day. Had some o' mah lady friends come by to chat.


Reb: "Yeah? Where was I?"


El: Oh, who knows Reb, hell YOU don't eve

On Human Nature

"Happy shall he be, that taketh and dasheth thy little ones against the stones." Psalm 137:9


I sometimes see this quote used by my fellow atheists to say, "See, how horrible religion is?" I agree that most of religion is horrible, but it is not the origin of such things as "bashing thy little ones." It has merely incorporated such things. The origins are far older than any religion...

A Rumination

A Rumination


You know you're getting old when you can reasonably come out with some version of, "Why, back in my day...." This has no particular purpose really... just an ol' geezer settin' on the front porch wool-gathering aloud. Never quite understood that one - never had much like for wool myself, bein' a Southerner an' all. Odd to think I was doing some things while a few readers here weren't born yet.

Does the term

Lobo, 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.

From the article Tommy cited. "However, religious commentators have criticized Hawking's theorizing, saying he can never hope to explain what is essentially unexplainable." Well doesn't that kind of invalidate their own "god" theory then? ;p

Anybody else read it? I love the basic premise, and being an atheist means I can appreciate the mythology and not get bent out of shape about the multiple deities.

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…
