Amber Barnhill recently moved her kids to a small south eastern Texas town called the city of China. There she found out what Lilandra and I have been complaining about for so long. All the local schools push their Christian religion. They do it overtly, during school hours, and as part of all curricular activities. […]
Global warming ruined my whole weekend. Thanks Obama.
On Thursday, my wife Lilandra and I drove her car to the little town of China Texas for a Religious Freedom Panel. It consisted of representatives from the Foundation of Contemporary Theology, Americans United for the Separation of Church and State, and the Freedom from Religion Foundation. Attendance was full. The mayor was there. Local […]
Religious Freedom Panel in Houston on Thursday 10/22
I’ve been getting messages from out-of-state wondering WTF is going on with Texas’ politics, whether it is the governor shutting down Planned Parenthood and protecting their religious monuments, or the local cops plastering Bible slogans on their cars and telling secular citizens to suck it. To say nothing of what’s still going on in our […]
Interview at INR5
While in British Columbia for the 5th Imagine No Religion conference, I was interviewed by one of the locals. [youtube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9SQn8q89w5A[/youtube] Love the thumbnail he created.
Physicalism and Metaphysical Naturalism discussed
I was interviewed by The Objective Centrist on the notions of physicalism/metaphysical naturalism and atheism’s dependence on that. [youtube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d2FQsdiGBkU[/youtube]
Undebateable
Last week Lilandra debated Carol Everett of the Pro-Life Action League. I was proud of how well my wife did on stage. Although there were a few theistic critics in the live audience, the comments we saw online were exclusively positive and supportive of Lilandra’s performance. The event was hosted by the Bible and Beer […]
Twitter says Bernie won
Normally whoever wins the debate is whoever you already agreed with before it began, but it seems that Twitter has an objective way of determining the winner of last night’s Democratic debate. See the link here. It was an amusing thing to see. The funniest summary I saw on Twitter was “a corporate sell-out, an […]
The Religious Wrong
Last week, we were supposed to have fallen victim of John Hagee’s four blood moons tetrad prophesy. That didn’t happen, but Hagee made a fat sum of money on his book scaring his megachurch following into the end times, and no one will hold him accountable for being wrong. Harold Camping’s failed end-of-the-world prophesy in […]
Four Blood Moon Tetrad nonsense
I went to the American Atheist National Convention in Salt Lake City Utah in April of 2014. It’s funny because there was a ComiCon going on right across the street. A lot of them belonged with us -and visa versa. Patrick Stewart and William Shatner were both speaking there, but could just as well have […]
