"It was this kid's valedictorian speech, and I applaud him for speaking his mind! The speech was his -- not the school's, not the audience's, not the Supreme Court's and not ours. That I think that he's harmfully…"

Ted Foureagles replied to matthew greenberg's discussion High Schooler says the Lord's Prayer at Commencement
Ted Foureagles replied to James M. Martin's discussion Re-Thinking My Militancy on the L Train Saturday
"I've always been an atheist, but didn't realize it until I was 6 years old. I must have evolved into a social anti-theist a half-century on -- some time after 9/11/2001. I mention this because now I live in rural Upstate…"
Ted Foureagles replied to James M. Martin's discussion Bill O'Really Claims Monkeys "Proof" That Evolution is Wrong; I Claim O'Reilly is a Buffoon
"It's questionable whether O'Reilly is an idiot by the standard usage of the word. Granted, I have no TV, so my exposure to him is scant (and that's one of the main reasons why I don't have a TV). From what…"
Ted Foureagles replied to Luara's discussion Root of all evil?
"We all face survival pressure every moment of our lives, and continually make decisions that could be considered 'evil' or not, according to context. If an alpha wolf disciplines or drives away a subordinate, is she displaying…"
Ted Foureagles replied to James M. Martin's discussion How to Win an Election in South Carolina: Mark Sanford
"Here in S.C., unfortunately, it's still all about that 'black Muslim' in the White House. Hopefully we'll catch up with the rest of the world in 50 years, but I was hoping that 50 years ago.

Ted Foureagles commented on Alan Perlman's blog post Why Religion Persists
"To be fair, it doesn't seem to me that the student referenced in the OP seriously considers the Biblical tale (she said as much herself), nor is it clear that such ideas are supported by faculty. She seems to be merely recognizing that…"
Randall Smith left a comment for Ted Foureagles
" Holy Crap--your dog being shot! What kind of son of a bitch would do that? I'm not sure I want to know if she makes it or not. Disheartening. Thanks for sharing."
Ted Foureagles replied to Jerry Wesner's discussion Does Any Rand represent your atheist philosophy?
"Short answer: no. When I was a teen (perhaps her proper audience) I must have read just about everything that Ayn Rand wrote -- novels & essays. At the time, I agreed with many of her tenets, and don't wholly reject them all…"
Ted Foureagles commented on Shaun Johnston's blog post How will I, an anti-darwinist, be treated?
"Shaun:
I'm trying, but so far not understanding (maybe my fault, maybe yours) just how or even if you see what you call 'volition' as causal in evolution, and how it differs from what others call 'God'. I suppose…"
Ted Foureagles commented on Randall Smith's blog post Dog Days?
"Let's see if I can figure out the picture thing..
My darlin' 3-1/2 year-old Abbey -- Chow/Lab/Husky/Whatever in an early…"
Ted Foureagles replied to G's discussion Non-religious opposition to Darwinism
"Evolution is not a theory, but a set of observations. Darwin didn't revamp the data of evolution (other than pointing out some good examples). The Darwinian hypothesis was alteration of phenotypes by means of natural…"
Ted Foureagles replied to kelly's discussion Mother, and other family, will only listen to Fox News
"Kelly:
I recently deleted my farcebook account because most of the interactions had become either insipid or contentious. I grew up, such that I did, in rural North Carolina in the 1960s & 1970s, but am no longer there, thank Dog. …"
Ted Foureagles replied to Ryan Williamson's discussion How to convince my parents to not make me go to church?
"Ryan:
No sweat on the spelling -- I hate those stinkin' phone 'keyboards'!
At around Christmas time, just before my 4th birthday, I told Mom that I didn't want to go to church (Baptist) any more. The only reason I could…"
Ted Foureagles replied to Chris Crawford's discussion Best wishes to all
"Chris:
I'd disagree that you don't belong here. Yes, this is primarily a social site with emphasis on supporting a set of ideas that are largely unsupported or denigrated elsewhere. As such, dissenting views are approached with…"
Ted Foureagles replied to Anthony Jordan's discussion Motives of the Religious
"Just as a matter of geography (upstate South Carolina), almost everyone I know is a fundamentalist young earth creationist evangelical Southern Baptist. And they are almost all pretty decent people. The good they do seems to largely…"

Dr. Terence Meaden said… Hi Ted and welcome to this wonderful world of atheist truth and peace.
True common sense helped by science leads to atheist wisdom as you very well know. If the religious would only listen to reason, there would be no religious.
We invite you to make good friends by joining the busy group "ORIGINS: Universe, Astronomy, Life, Earth, Humans, Religion, Gods, Atheism, Evolution, Darwin..." with 560 discussion topics and over 3000 members.
