Big Bad Wisconsin Atheist

From time to time to I'll republish content from my blog at AN.

I am quite literally the village atheist, writing in a very socially conservative apart of south-eastern Wisconsin. To members of ex-christian.com, you'd may know me as "Quicksand" there.

"I hear you Troy. I just sent this email this afternoon so we'll have to wait on his response if any is, in fact, forthcoming. I'm sure he receives many amens to his messages, at least he'll have one calling him out on his horseshit."

Lakeland Supply I-94 Religious Display

You may have seen these on eastbound I-94. The owner of Lakeland Supply is an evangelical Christian who likes to proselytize to the helpless passerby's and commuters.A few years ago, the Journal Sentinel even did a story on him.I live now in Oconomowoc and have to commute to New Berlin everyday.Well for the last few weeks he has posted a sign in another clueless attempt to demonstrate his faith. I thought I would write him a email…See More

Everlasting Life?

Posted on July 26, 2011 at 4:30am 2 Comments

One of the great assets that religion has is its promise of everlasting life after death. Whether it is an eternity in hell or heaven, reincarnation, our lives (for the price of belief and submission to a system of subsequent beliefs) can be continued after death.



Notice, however, that everlasting life is granted only after you are dead.



Religion does not give you everlasting life, immortality, when you are still living.



If religion really had the power… Continue

The "Gotcha" Moment

Posted on July 2, 2011 at 8:32am 2 Comments

A few years back, three older women came to my door to preach the gospel to me. I lived in a neighborhood of Milwaukee that had several churches just blocks away. One close-by church was Catholic and one was Lutheran, and there were several other Protestant denominations nearby too.



I went to the door and the oldest of the three ladies invited me to their church as she attempted to hand me something.



Not wanting to waste too much time with these people, who came uninvited… Continue

Sarah Palin gets it wrong again. (As do most social-conservatives.)

Posted on June 23, 2011 at 9:30pm 5 Comments

Sarah Palin's flubs about history are well known. Her gaffe about Paul Revere is one of them, and her bus graphic, (on her much publicized bus tour) is just the latest example.…

Re-reading Exodus 20:23

Posted on December 16, 2009 at 12:47pm 2 Comments

In sunday school, I was taught that God had given humanity a handful of non-negotiable laws that must be obeyed. These laws were the Ten Commandments, of course. In my adolescence, I had believe these ten laws were reasonable and if the adults in my life had insisted I follow them uncritically, I quite naturally did so without question. Incidentally, this is the exactly the type of faith that is often encouraged today -- the faith of a child -- obedience without question. We were praised for… Continue
