Last weekend, I was in Salt Lake City (and Las Vegas). This week, I’ll be in Nacogdoches. Next week, I’ll be in Albuquerque. I don’t have a lot of time at the moment, but I did want to pass on a blurb from David Smalley, host of Dogma Debate on iHeartRadio. To all those screaming […]
Better Commandments
On April 26th, I’ll be at Stephen F Austin State College in Nacogdoches Texas, where I will be talking about the Damn Commandments. Imagine you’re the supreme being, and you’re going to provide the top ten rules for all of mankind, and that’s the best you could come up with?! It occurred to me that […]
Westboro in my neighborhood
I normally sleep in as late as I want on a Sunday, especially when it’s cold and raining. But today I went to a church conference. South Garland Baptist Church was going to confront Westboro Baptist Church, and I wanted to be there.The Westboro troup showed up, but they weren’t very interesting, and I couldn’t […]
Madness Mayhem HIV charity
I’m doing another charity telethon this weekend, Saturday / Sunday http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1vrKxPIXdUA I’m really no good at these. If I knew how to talk people out of their money, I wouldn’t always be in the red like I am. So what I need is for people who have money to wait until 5:00pm Sunday, when it’s […]
The Unbelievers
Next week, Richard Dawkins and Lawrence Krauss will tour the US to personally host special screenings of ‘The Unbelievers’. A few months ago, Krauss and I were having breakfast in Oklahoma City, and he was telling me about his new movie. I remember remarking that when Dawkins and Krauss are in a movie, it’s produced […]
22 questions for ‘evolutionists’ -answered
Ever since I saw that Buzzfeed article, ‘22 Messages From Creationists To People Who Believe In Evolution‘, I wished I could talk to each of those poor, misguided people. I mean, many of them seem like nice genuine folks, but they’ve all been deceived by the charlatans of religion, and that is very sad. What […]
The Place with the New Covenant Group
I was recently on two episodes of ‘the Place’ with Dr & Mrs Jones of the New Covenant Group. First they talked just with me. That went pretty well, so I joined the panel for the evening show. I very much enjoyed participating in the show, and I applaud the effort behind maintaining an interfaith […]
Happy B-day, Chuckie D.
I’m sorry to say I’m not doing any Darwin-Day presentations this year. That’s too bad too. I really enjoy those. For three years in a row, I had the honor of being keynote speaker in James Randi’s group in Fort Lauderdale Florida. Here I am posing with the 205 year-old birthday boy. There’s a very […]
Speaking to San Diego Humanists
Every February when I’m starting to get tired of freezing temperatures every day, someone invites me to a warmer clime, and I welcome the escape. (Yes I know, most of you live in lots colder places than Texas!) This weekend, my wife and I will participate in the Southern California Secular Humanist conference at the […]
‘My Week in Atheism’ premiers this week
John Christy is a Christian who came to the American Atheists national convention in Austin Texas last year, and he interviewed a bunch of us for this documentary film. To be sure that we were represented fairly, the movie was co-produced by David Smalley of Dogma Debate. I’ve seen portions of this film, and it […]
