I'm so sorry your wife left you and your friend is being a witch. Unless a relationship is totally miserable, I can't imagine anyone being happy in your shoes. Your friend sounds very insensitive. I have known a lot of christains who would…

Freethinking For Dummies Media Site

I'm hosting a site for atheist, skeptical and humanist audio and video clips on my personal site at http://walkfletch.com. So far there are only three things there. Amanda Knief's and Darrel Ray's speeches at the Midwest Humanist Conference, and an interview with Phil Plait, The Bad Astronomer, that I downloaded from somewhere.If anyone has more audio or video they would like to share, let me know. Since I'm hosting this on my own servers, I don't have any…See More

Glen Rosenberg commented on Jay Walker's blog post 'Curing The God Virus'
The book you refer to is influential among atheists. Notwithstanding it's charm, it is filled with circular reasoning. Strangely the book has circumvented their reason and infected atheists with a blinding virus. On the other hand good for you…

Darrel Ray commented on Jay Walker's blog post 'Curing The God Virus'
Jay, thanks for the great post. I enjoyed reading about your journey. Your path through Islam is quite extraordinary. But I guess that means you tested a wider set of options than 99.9% of religious people. Glad you found a way to disinfect yourself.

Curing The God Virus

Note- -This is a republishing of my blog entry of the same name at http://freethinkingfordummies.com/2010/09/01/curing-the-god-virus/I am currently reading The God Virus, by Darrel Ray. I already owned his book when I heard him speak at the Midwest Humanist Conference last month, but I hadn’t really startedreading it in earnest until last week.In his talk and his book, he likens religion to a virus. He compares the…See More

It was great to watch the video, but I was a tad distressed to see the back of my head dominating the bottom of the screen!

Where Is The Christian Forgiveness?

Posted on September 22, 2010 at 11:16am 2 Comments

In my last blog post, I mentioned the reaction from my Christian friend to the atheist quotes I posted. There was quite a bit of back and forth on Facebook with basically ended with her saying, rather smugly, that I certainly don't seem very happy now that I've abandoned religion.


Of course, her point was that since I've given up religion, that's why I'm not currently happy. I replied that I'm no more unhappy than I was with I was a theist and that since life isn't perfect,…

Great news! They did a heart catherization and my heat is is great shape! That's a relief.

Unfortunately, my wife left me a few days after this. It's a long complicated story (aren't they all), but one I'll be alluding to as time goes forward.

I got the the hospital for my stress test this morning. It took half an hour for them to find a good vein for the IV then another half hour to get the EKG wires attached and do the resting set of echo pictures of my heart. Then the cardiologist came in so we could start the treadmill part of the test. After asking me a few questions about the pains I'd been having over the past week, she decided that since I'd been having some instances of pain with no exertion, that stress test would be…

Hello Jay
Welcome to this friendly meeting place with atheist freethinkers who recognise that fictional gods and crafty religions have always been used to deceive and control vulnerable superstitious people including the indoctrination of defenceless children;
----and how tragic and inexcusable it also is that women and minorities have been oppressed these last two thousand years and longer.

Terry Meaden
founder of the busy group "ORIGINS: Universe, Astronomy, Life, Earth, Humans, Religion, Evolution, Darwin..." with its 300 discussion topics.
We invite you to join us and 1800 others.
