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 [...]

While details were not available at press time, it is believed that the overhead cost [...]
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 [...]

Proposition 8 – The Musical
See more Jack Black videos at Funny or Die
On a life without a god or an afterlife.
Often I’m asked when I bring up my lack of beliefs how I can appreciate life without having god in it, or how I can possibly cope with the idea that I’m going to hell or that there is nothing after death. As a theist, and believe me when I say I was very much of the christian persuasion once upon a time, I never appreciated life. I appreciated a being I’d never seen or heard from for the life he gave me, which I guess to a theist is the same thing…not to me.
Spokesperson for Proposition 8
I originally posted this on another blog on November 11, but wanted to share it with everyone here too.
This is a better articulation of my thoughts on the matter than I could possibly muster.
Politics Of War
During these times where we are at war, many people have a debate over one thing more than any other. Should we bring back the troops from the middle east or leave them there, making sure the job gets done this time? Has anyone thought this may not be a go or no go situation? [...]
