- About Me
- One of my favorite quotes by Theodore Roosevelt that describes me best is "Far better is it to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered by failure... than to rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy nor suffer much, because they live in a gray twilight that knows not victory nor defeat."

I will start by saying I am not a software programer but I do have an idea. With the soon to be updated Atheistnexus why not have an app made that is similar to facebooks app on I-Tunes. Maybe, maybe not but I thout it might be a good idea.

An audio chapter taken from a book I have enjoyed that explains how and why religion has evolved to meet the needs of the masses.
Mr. Deity is a humorous/satirical web show about God and the Universe.
Our goal is to promote and improve public perceptions of skepticism, science, and freethinking. We encourage rational, constructive debate and open exchanges of ideas and will welcome those who desire the same.
A group for biologists, and those with an interest in biology, to get together and talk about what interests them the most: the fascinating study of life.
CVAAS is an organization for secular / skeptical people who live in the South Central Valley. We are a secular voice and we support like organizations.
Thank you for the Paragraph 4 rebuttal about commitment and feminism. I wonder where she picked up the idea that feminists shouldn't commit. Geesh.
Overall, nicely put.
Frankly, your father's letter sounded more like preaching to the choir than any kind of serious attempt to argue against feminism or atheism, and like any good counter-puncher, you blocked everything he threw at you and landed your own shots. Joe Le…
This E-mail was sent to me after my dad heard that I went to UC Davis to hear a lecture presented by PZ Myers. After he had heard about where I had been his response was, "I'll bet he said jesus did not exist, because he is as full of sh@t as a chri…
Or I wonder how much is simply due to not thinking ahead, planing one's own future?
I was very little, maybe 4 or 5, when we had an exchange student from church stay with us for a while. Mom told me she was concerned that he leaves too much 'up to…

Bought it, haven't read it yet (it's on the pile), but I'm really impressed with what I have seen of her interviewed on this topic. Everything about this debacle screamed cult, from the blind faith i…
I spent some time writing financial analysis software for mutual fund companies awhile back (6-8 years ago). In spite of all the warnings that the SEC require, there was still a fundamental believe that things like "Dow 14,000" or "Dow 40,000" were…
According to the magazine The Atlantic, christianity is to blame for our financial woes.

Blame the victim.
How nice.
that's the mentality of a molester or a rapist.

An E-mail from my father.
This E-mail was sent to me after my dad heard that I went to UC Davis to hear a lecture presented by PZ Myers. After he had heard about where I had been his response was, "I'll bet he said jesus did not exist, because he is as full of sh@t as a christmas turkey." A few days latter I received an E-mail with a link to this article, so I addressed each of the paragraphs and gave my oppinion.

Just be carefull... I had a similar discussion with my sisnlaw and it almost caused a big rift in my otherwise tightly nit family.
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…
I was in Panama City this past weekend, but I didn't have any free time. I was there for my brother-in-law's pinning. He was promoted to Major in the Air Force. The promotion ceremony was full of God and Jesus references, and the invocation was give…
I saw a video, or a blog post once that listed all the uncomfortable and illogical things that a person must do, according to Jesus' own words, in order to follow him. The list included hating your family, selling all your possessions, etc. I'm pret…
It's been almost a full day, and none of them have responded. I'm hoping that's the end of it, and they have bowed to my superior sophistry. ;-)
I sometimes wear the customary leather vest with the HOG Miami logo on the back but a closer look reveals the American Atheists and Freedom From Religion Foundation patches on the right rear side. My do-rag has a gold Atheist atom pin on the tail .…
Stephen Hawking: God Has No Role in Universe
LONDON (Sept. 2) -- Entering the ongoing debate between faith and science, renowned British scientist Stephen Hawking claims that modern physics has now proved that God played no role in the creation of…
