Hey. I read your blog a lot and love it. I just joined this site recently and found you in the featured members so I thought I'd leave you a comment. Thank you for being a leader for those of us needing the support. I'll continu to follow your blog. Great stuff!
Hi Hemant! As well as hosting the Aussie/Kiwi group here on Nexus. I'm also the media and communications consultant for the forthcoming "Rise of Atheism" Global Atheist Convention to be held in Melbourne in March 2010.

Anything you can do to help us get the word out would be greatly appreciated.

I'm agnostic on the whole determinism/free will problem, so I'm not going to go out of my way to argue on behalf of determinist. I will say though that it's experiments like Libet's that we'd expect to be the case if determinism is tr…
Her name was Sarah, and she went to church with me.
She told me she would stay a virgin until God took her on her last dying day. And that she would stay a virgin unless God wanted her for himself.
I told her she was deluded. And then proceeded to…
