I LOVE the concept of Yogic flying! First I ever heard of it watching some documentary I thought, "Ooh, cool; we're going to see some graceful, light-as-a-feather type martial arts thing or something."
Then came the people hopping about the room on…
No, it's my reading all the way to the end of the post and the =P face.
Your sarcasm is lovely Stephan; keep 'em coming!
And how would we decide what rights to sacrifice and what defines a better world?
Get out of the pews and off your knees and go to the gym!
Most likely this is Christian on Christian violence as it almost always is.
If it is and atheist, I hope they throw the book at the bastard. Burning down people's places of worship is, for many, just as bad as burning down their homes. Probably wor…
Actually studies have shown that knowing someone is praying for your increases your sickness and societies that are more religious are on average less healthy.
They used evidence of atheists versus theists on moral dilemma tests? What, are atheists an independently evolved line of humanity? No, of course not. That's a really weak basis for their argument.
The simple support to that argument is that religi…

Sorry, I have another party that weekend, but thanks for the invite.
I made a choice, but we shouldn't suspend reality when doing thought experiments. And either way, I made a choice. Freedom! Freedom!

Wouldn't also half the gay people like the breasts Dallas Gaytheist? =P
Where's good ol' Bill Donahue on this one?
Carter's just wasting everybody's time, Jo. He's not interested in learning anything or debating anything. He's a free-market fundamentalist, and fundamentalists are lost causes. And for the record, corn is not a good source of ethanol. That doesn't…

Well, they at least attempted it...don't remember if it succeeded. Probably not.
As if Blogo wasn't enough for our state. It does have the option to backfire on him, making it a victory for us, but we shall see.

Three years...so long and so short all at the same time...
I've been with my wife for three years this weekend. I thought I should just take a moment to reflect on how lucky that makes me. Okay, enough mushy emotional stuff, on to more posting of news and science and whatnot!

My wife is awesome
She joined the ranks of the Youtube posters...who knows maybe I'll eventually manage to drag her over here.
It is kind of weird being a white guy that cares about the state of hair fashion and culture in the United States brown people population. All I have to say is let your hair be what it is! Curly is definitely beautiful. Continue

And damnit, Pharyngula, aka PZ Meyers, beat me to this, but I'm doing my rant without reading his...should be interesting to compare afterward.

A position statement (updated from 25Sep09 to 29Sep09)
1) I am an agnostic atheist. Generally speaking, I find the definition of "god" to change depending on what theist I talk to, so I can therefore not say that all definitions of a god do not exist. I, however, know that Abrahamic religions are false, as they have a definable deity and belief structure which are shown to be false through history and science.
2) I prescribe to… Continue

It isn't about atheists versus theists
I've been pondering this for a couple of weeks now, and I think I've come to a conclusion. The current "cultural conflict" between atheists and the religious has little to anything to do with belief in any gods. It has to do with what the "New Atheists" believe and what the relgious don't believe.
This isn't a battle between theists and atheists. This is a battle between naturalism and supernaturalism. This is a battle between rationalism and irrationalism. This is a battle between skepticism a… Continue

Loren Miller said… - Hi, Stephen!
Just occurred to me - "Touchdowns for Jesus!" Geez, what a phrase! I'm a bit amazed that I haven't seen it before as a rallying cry or some such! [groan!]

Betty Valentine said… - Ahh, lucky you.
The frustrating thing about headaches/migraines is that every time i go to the hospital, they just inject me with morphine and send me on my merry way. They say little research has been conducted into the cause and cures of mysterious headaches like mine. It's such a pain in the ass! Especially when i have study to do (but, really.. who's going to study anyway when there's a nice little distraction like this website! :P)

Ben Adamski said… - Thanks! I feel a little dirty when you phrase it like that but eh, it's for a good cause. I actually found out about this site as well as the chariots of iron podcast from listening to the atheist news one. I'm totally a step ahead of you in already joining but I haven't been very active yet. Oh how I wish I had known about all this during the summer when i had nothing but free time. I'll be sure to keep checking in and more active in discussions, even if i have to suffer a bit academically..

He was great wasn't he?
Sad thing is, as much of a walking cliche as he is, those people very much exist. Every movement, every word out of their mouths is designed to look like the very cliche they're emulating.
Holy shit... this is perfect.

"'Male Refractory Period' (MRP) that shuts us down after one or, sometimes, two full orgasms."
When I was a teenager, I could pop 3 times in less than a half hour.
Practice your skills to win religious debates using information, persuasion, logic, and reason!
Thank you!
Woe to you oh earth and sea-monkeys!
I'm trying to defend the right-to-the-burqa in France, I really am. But then stories like this really does leave me wishing we could outlaw an entire religion.
