God Bless Atheism
On my website, I try to keep up to date with Pat Condell's videos. He's got 60 videos, so far, and I have the first 58 of them on my Videos page. His latest 2, on YouTube, are only available from the Pat Condell channel for now -- there's no embed code yet. His video #59 (The Arrogance of Clergy) is the best one so far, in my opinion. He really knocks this one out of… Continue

Islam and the Quran: A young woman's point of view
This discussion, from an atheist website, involves a young ex-Muslim woman (Mona) and me (Atheist Exile).
Posted by Mona:
I'm 20 and I live in Norway, Oslo. My name is Mona & I love ♥
I began my “quest” to find the truth 3 years ago! It all started with trying to become more religious, I never was a practicing Muslim and I've always asked questions I never seem to get proper answers to. But still, I could never imagine myself leaving Islam,…

The Holographic Universe Part 2
In my previous blog entry, I posted the first half of a lengthy article that starts off (ostensibly) scientific, then degenerates into new-age subjects like ESP and other "psychic phenomena". I cut out the less-than-scientific parts.
This blog entry posts (by request) the last half of the article. To appreciate the second half, below, you'll really need to read the first half as well.

The Holographic Universe
This is an old article I saved about a decade ago. Because of the impression it made on me, it's managed to survive one PC after another and is still on my hard drive (I just happened upon it, again, a few minutes ago). It's a pretty cool idea and pretty thought provoking. Not that I buy into everything it says . . .

Stop Light and the REAL Spin Doctors
There was a fascinating article, by Eugenie Samuel, at NewScientist.com. It explains an experiment in which they stopped light dead in its tracks, then released it, letting it speed off, as usual.
Stop Light: The REAL Spin Doctors
Scientists have stopped light in its tracks in two landmark experiments. In doing so they have overcome a…

White Male Privilege and Placebo Politics
Placebo Politics creates the illusion that social ills are being cured when, in reality, no remedy has actually been administered. Common examples of Placebo Politics are:
- The push, by Muslims in the United Nations -- and their apologists, elsewhere -- to outlaw criticism of religion.
- The spread, in Europe, of multiculturalism (as opposed to pluralism) as a means to accommodate minority groups (namely, Muslims).
- Social and political pressure to teach…
