I've said this before, but turn on any typical talk-radio station these days, and it's the same old yadda-yadda from the same old hosts with the same old spin given to them from the same old corporations. Gets old real quick.

Looking for a show that cuts away the spin and crap and gets to what's REALLY going on? Tune in to ShockNet Radio's American Heathen at 8 ET/5 PT TONIGHT and listen to a show that talks about the issues and the news from…

Newt Gingrich, speaking to hundreds in Las Vegas at a mega-church with 5000 members, argues "that other faiths are given tolerance [in the United States] while Christianity is persecuted."

Methinks the man doth protest too much...

I will be on the David Pakman show Monday Feb. 6, sometime between 2:30 and 3:30 talking about Sex and God. David Packman Show  Was on last year to talk about our Sex survey.

Looking forward to my first talk on Sex and God tonight at the Midwest Freethought society and very excited to speak next Sat. at ReasonFest at Kansas University. Each talk will be totally different. ReasonFest has over 250 registrations compared to 100 last year!

Atheist Movies pores over the Net to bring us YouTube and other clips depicting topics of interest to non-believers, with a decided emphasis on evolutionary science.  In their latest email link, they take us to evolutionary biologist Lewis Wolfert's new work, Six Impossible Things Before Breakfast: The Evolutionary Origins of Belief, which I hope to get to when I finish things like Jennifer Michael Hecht's Doubt.  I say "things like" because I set works aside to read…

 Welcome to the final chapter and last of the most frequently asked questions on why I'm atheist. More associated blogs will be forthcoming. I hope you have found something here useful.

my fondest memory of church

had to have been the day that girl from my confirmation class

whom i can’t for the life of me remember the name of now

showed up in a skin tight neon pink dress

which was hiked right up

inches upon inches above her knee

leaving very little to be desired

but i desired so very much---

i wanted her

i wanted what any bored, horny, teenage

nonbeliever would,

Well Michelle Obama has taken off her jacket and done some push-ups. As they say, “you go girl!” and yes I’m attempting to be hip and offer a sense of parody with my street talk? And yes, I accept it didn’t work, did it? Especially when you factor in I am white and cannot dance, but keep my attempt to connect with you in mind for now!

Apparently the above mentioned incident all happened on the American talk show …

Can the US Army embrace atheists?

Great article about Sgt. Griffith and his quest to protect atheists in foxholes:

I'm sure it's been mentioned before, but just a quick thought upon seeing another pick of Pope Palpatine riding around in his popemobile...  

Isn't it obvious that even he doesn't believe in God if he's that worried about being assassinated?  Wouldn't "God" protect him if he's supposed to be "His" emissary on Earth?

Contrary wise, if it's his time to go, wouldn't "God" make it happen no matter how much bulletproof glass he's surrounded by?

How to believers not…

As Dan Barker once formulated

Any belief system that threatens you with (physical) violence is morally bankrupt. 

It is 2012 and we take a look at some "democratic" country that allows for "6 religions":  …

I can't let another week go by without some predictions for 2012, the LAST YEAR EVER.

This afternoon I was reminded of a favorite episode of The Twilight Zone: “In Praise of Pip,” and a facet of that story I thought worthy of mention here.



The story opens in an Army hospital in South Vietnam, where a young soldier is brought in on a stretcher. He is evaluated by a doctor, who notes the soldier’s unusual name – Pip Phillips – and after examination, estimates that his patient’s chances of survival are not promising. Cut to half way around the world and a seedy…

WHITLOCK'S BLOOD LIBEL



Linda Whitlock (Dec.18) repeats yet again the "blood libel" against unbelievers, that only Creationism offers any basis for ethics.



Whitlock has it backwards. Religion offers no basis for ethics. Religious morality consists of obeying the alleged will of God, as reported by your chosen authority. But obedience is not the same as morality. If believers wish to make war or keep slaves or oppress…
