There’s a new hard rocking atheist band called Monster on Sunday. On Friday, August 7th at 7:00pm, they’ll be at Ramona Mainstage with my friends, recording artist Shelly Segal and comedian Steve Hill. Seth Andrews told me he saw the band live in their home town of San Diego, and said they were amazing. Steve […]
Debatable
I used to get a lot of challenges from anonymous internet nobodies wanting to debate me; not just to argue with me online, but to “call me out” in some public forum where they thought they could ‘win’ me. I’ll already argue with pretty much anyone as long as there is some indication that that […]
Comparing Secular Conferences
I’ve been booked for a different conference or convention or similar function almost every month for the last few years, and sometimes a couple in the same month. Of the bigger, better ones repeated annually, I’d say the most ‘posh’ would be the American Humanist Association, particularly regarding their elegant banquets and choice of lavish […]
‘scientist’?
Someone I don’t know tweeted this to me: Hello my friend Aron. What is your opinion about this short conversation between a Christian & a scientist: http://justpaste.it/Christ ?

Christians Against Dinosaurs

But Robertson publicly criticized Ken Ham of AnswersInGenesis for being “deaf, dumb, and blind”, because Ham doesn’t believe there was a Mesozoic era. Ham believes that dinosaurs once lived […]
Bosche – irreligious detective?
I haven’t seen this, because I haven’t turned on a TV since the turn of the century, but according to this ad that keeps popping up on every video I try to watch, we have a new leading good guy portrayed as an atheist. That’s good, I guess. It doesn’t happen very often. I guess […]
50 Shades of Meh
Yeah, spoilers. My wife just wrote a review of this movie, so I guess I will too. We only went to see it because some Bishop at the Catholic church urged people not to. Prior to that, I asked my wife if I could pay her not to make me see it. I went into […]
