Happy New Year! Thanks to the generous support of our Patrons, I will begin two new science-related video series. I already released a new video called “How Meteorology Disproves Noah’s Flood.” It is the first in a new series about how various fields of study disprove the fable of the Noachian global deluge. Perhaps for […]
How to disprove Noah’s Flood
For the last few years, I’ve been meaning to do a video series explaining how various fields of study disprove the Noachian deluge. I finally got around to doing that as a reward to my patrons at Patreon.com/AronRa. This is the first of what should be a five-part series. [youtube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vWZtbZGtiGA[/youtube] The next episode will be […]
Just a Snip
In my most recent episode of the Ra-Men, I spoke to Lena Lena Nyhus, founder of ‘Intact Denmark’ and ‘Just a Snip’, organizations opposed to the circumcision of children too young to consent. Female circumcision is already identified as genital mutilation in her home country of Denmark. So now she advocates for the rights of […]
My debate with Subboor Ahmad
I had a second formal moderated debate with a live audience. It was originally supposed to take place at a huge Muslim Dawah conference, and that’s why I was so eager to accept. but I guess the organizers had other ideas about that and cancelled. Subboor said we might reschedule for the next time I’m […]
Can you say President Trump?
Texas has cast their deciding electoral votes for our next President (Are you ready?) Donald J. Trump! What now if you took the obvious hints both pre and post election that this was most definitely not a good idea? First for people that voted for Trump celebrate or regret your folly. Trump overtly promises to be […]
Road to Reason
Robert Penczak, the executive director of Atheist Alliance of America also hosts a UstreamTV show called Road to Reason. In their most recent episode, they chose to interview me. [youtube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q7rAi9_xDEg[/youtube] The reason they wanted to interview me now is because Atheist Alliance of America is strongly endorsing Street Epistemology, and of course I just did […]
‘Tis the Season for believin’ silly things you know ain’t true
This being the season for believin’ (so I am told) I’m going to share an old Facebook post explaining part of my perspective on the imagined war on Christmas and people’s rights to religious freedom. “Let me start by saying you have the right to not believe in any God. As I have the right […]
NoDAPL on the Secular Nation podcast
This is the second episode of the incarnation of Secular Nation, the official podcast of the Atheist Alliance of America, and the third episode aired since I was elected president of that organization. Here activists who went to Standing Rock talk about how financial institutions and industrial corporations have risen above the government, sometimes acting […]
Disney Villains
I just saw Disney’s live-action remake of the Jungle Book. I normally don’t have time to watch whole movies, and I really didn’t now either. But I did, just because Honest Trailers really liked it. I thought it was beautiful cinematography and animation, really well done. But I want to comment on the villain. I […]
Learnin’ and practicin’ Street Epistemology
Street Epistemology is a conversational rather than confrontational approach to get people thinking about their beliefs -to see if they’re valid or held for good reasons. The idea was first proposed by Philosophy Professor Peter Boghossian in his book, A Manual for Creating Atheists. I have often been accused of being too firebrand, as if […]
