- About Me
- I am a former fundamentalist minister who has seen the light of science and reason. I find inspiration in music, art, literature and our awe inspiring universe. I believe the next step in humanity's evolution is breaking the shackles of religious superstition.
I am secularly ordained and have dedicated myself to encouraging and inspiring others to "come out" of the religious closet.

A place to post and find links to news and other media that pertain to atheists, rationals, skeptics and humanists world-wide.
4 & 5 are mutually exclusive. On the one hand he want the family to be the ultimate authority (which probably scares the hell out of a lot of abused children) and on the other hand he expects that if you break the law you pay the penalties. Well, wh…
Yup, Brother Richard, this pretty much covers why I only visit the site once a week now.
This in now way lessens what you have accomplished here. A lot of good is accomplished by having a membership roll of this size. Not a community any more, if i…
Oh, and Kid, Alfred's translation of Psalms, St Erkenwald, and KJV. Need I say more ...
yeah, actually, you do.
English is not a Christian language; further explanation is needed, as I don't get what you're trying to say. As Christians and Christia…
I love a good fight, gloves on or off. I do, however, think Kid is right, so I wont respond to Jason here, though obviously I disagree with him. So if you want to take it somewhere else, that is fine by me.

I have noticed that our friend AL likes a good fight. In fact... I think he even likes a bad fight... haha.
Perhaps I should friend him?!?!
no need to apologise! I was actually thinking, hell, might as well join in here, and I agree with you totally on the 'faith and trust' issue, they are not the same thing at all. and if Al Kadim is reading this, I also take issue on your statement th…
Good point, Kid. Sorry for my part in wandering off topic.

Citizen Roe said… - Love Atheist News podcasts! Mainly, though, I wanted to thank you for getting involved with Atheist parenting via Skipping Sunday School & your upcoming talk at Texas Freethought Convention. We need more awareness and communication about it! I hope to go to the convention & hear you speak, but I'm unemployed & unless I start working very soon, I don't know if it will be possible. If not, I'll catch it on Nexus or Youtube (hope someone posts it)!

I've facebooked you a Happy Birthday. I've texted you a Happy Birthday. And now I'm A/Ning you a Happy Birthday. You are a wonderful friend and a great asset to all us atheists! So.... did I behave myself enough to attend the American Atheist conference with you NEXT year??? I'm afraid I know the answer to that. :)

Weekly Rant: Frank Schaeffer and New Atheist Fundamentalists
As far as the religious go, you could say that Frank Schaeffer is one of the good guys. He is the son of one of the first televangelists, Francis Schaeffer, and in his book, Crazy for God, he did a great job explaining how he helped found the Religious Right, and why he now regretted it.

When should nontheists complain?
It is no secret that we nontheists are continually bombarded with religious references. Most of the time, we simply smile and ignore them, knowing that our fellow primates mean us no harm. And when we do complain, no matter how polite and courteous we may be, it is always taken the wrong way. So, when should we speak up?

Happy Anniversary Chariots of Iron!
Happy first anniversary to “the three godlessteers,” Lamar, Eli, and Joe. Thanks guys for giving us a great year of podcasting. May you all be in Heaven ten minutes before the Devil knows your dead.

Their guest is PZ Myers, and if that is not reason enough to listen, you get to hear Joe say, “If the toupee had been invented like 3000 years ago, how m… Continue

It is true that many people take the path of religion to lead them out of destructive life styles.
It is also true that people can do the same thing without a reliance on faith (you just don't hear about it as much).
You sound like a very nice you…
I thought it was utterly brilliant that he said Abbot's offer of a billion dollars for Hobart hospital was immoral!
His refusal of such a ridiculous bribe iis one of the first moral acts I've ever seen from a politician. Clearly the man will have a…
I've seen posts about the 50 commandments of jeebus put out by xtians that cite chapter and verse and you really don't need a commentary to go along with them.
Boy it sure does kill the whole GOP/Tea Party platform.
I'm telling Miss Julie! . . (Sombody wants a spanking!!).
Seems like you could be in danger of getting more than just your tongue stuck, to a dancing pole at the north pole . . .
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. ;-)
