The Pledge of Allegiance Old and New
http://religion.blogs.cnn.com/2010/06/23/billboard-campaign-refutes-one-nation-under-god/
While I haven’t seen many billboards across Tennessee that are religious in nature that are surprising, this new campaign in North Carolina is a welcome change. I’m actually surprised this didn’t happen sooner, but I hope this will catch on. The gist is putting up an American flag pattern with… Continue

Sam Harris on Ethics
http://www.cnn.com/2010/OPINION/03/25/ted.sam.harris/index.html
I’ve read Sam Harris’ Letter to a Christian Nation and own both versions (hardback and paperback) as well as a paperback copy of The End of Faith long recommended to me by my second roommate. While I don’t share his enthusiasm or background in philosophy and neuroscience, I can agree in principle with the thoughts he espouses in this article,… Continue

How Cats Help Me Learn Zen
Edit: Our household has since lost the first cat and gained a new one in the form of a stray tabby, so I may do a follow up on the Buddhist qualities in that cat in the future
Our present household has three cats, each of which I have a decent analysis of their personality. Cat personality at first glance seems to be a contradiction, since cats are essentially non human and thus have little potential to manifest what we’d term personality traits. But part of this difficulty… Continue

American Atheist Convention and Easter Scheduling
http://www.cnn.com/2010/US/04/03/easter.atheists/index.html?hpt=T2
While Easter Sunday is nearly to be celebrated (early in the day, no doubt) by Christians across the world, on this same weekend, the American Atheists are meeting in their 36th convention. This year’s goal in particular is to note that while there are still widespread stereotypes about atheism (one of them especially mistaken, since… Continue
