Proving that nobody can get into heaven
An interesting dissection of the logical fallacies and contradictions in the christian bible.
An Atheist’s Call To Arms
As an atheist, I find this video very compelling. Atheism has been a misunderstood and feared stance for far too long. Atheists around the world are living with the secret of their world view as if it were something to be ashamed of. It is not.
I may be termed as an “agnostic [...]

The Meaning of Life
Christmas day was my birthday. 31 times has our planet we call Earth orbited around the star known as our sun since I was born. I often muse about my place in the universe this way when the customs of the human condition recognize significance in some cosmic milestone. At first, this may seem a bleak and barren way to contemplate my role, leading to nihilism as I stare into the void of space. It may seem a poor starting point to examine my existence and what it all means.
And yet, it is not.
Compelling Atheism?
An excellent post today over at Atheist Revolution prompted a comment from me that I wanted to share here. It was in reaction to a different post by the Friendly Atheist regarding freedom of speech. It was a call to ensure we avoid hypocrisy in our responses and reactions to theistic expression. Original blog [...]
Colbert’s The Word – The Unbearable Lightness of Supreme Being
“Christmas is my favorite time of the year, folks. Second only to Shark Week, though I still dream of a day when they will combine the two.”
Kentucky, Washington, and religious/Christmas funny goodness. Colbert always has a way to state the facts in such an obvious way. The problem of evil and suffering is [...]
Let’s Start a Civil War
So this is one of those things that really seems like it’s a joke. Perhaps the Onion reported on this? My brief Googling spell couldn’t find anything definitive regarding the authenticity, just many people claiming that it is real. Apparently the reverend on the sign is deceased.
I’ll assume for the time being that this is [...]
Merry Chrismukah
Wish You a Merry…Chrismukah?
Continuing the current trend of large-scale mergers and acquisitions, it was announced today at a press conference that Christmas and Hanukkah will merge. An industry source said that the deal had been in the works about 1300 years.
While details were not available at press time, it is believed that the overhead cost [...]
MoralMaster 2.0 Morality Monitor
Some of my christian friends are bound to find this insulting…but I am curious as to their rebuttal. Just remember this is attacking christian beliefs…not people who happen to be christian.
I Disagree with Dan Barker and the Freedom From Religion Foundation
Up until now, it seems the atheist community has done a decent job of getting messages out in public in a way that will do some real good. I’ve seen several billboards and bus signs that do a good job of letting other non-theists know they are not alone. Not a great job, but a [...]
Humanist Influence
I am reacting to a talk given by Güven Güzeldere here on the topic of human flourishing/Eudaimonics, some of this post will be paraphrased.
Two dimensions or goals of religion or other forms of philosophy competing for followers:
