Since PZ posted about his hiking trip, I guess I’ll share my trip too.  At the last minute, my wife found that she was able to join me in California.  This required that she take a different flight on another airline, one that changed planes in Las Vegas.  That meant that I had to change […]

The National Atheist Party first approached me at the Reason Rally, asking if I would represent them in some way.  Originally their convention was supposed to be in Boston just shortly before the presidential election.  That would have been great -speaking at a political rally in New England when the political environment was at its […]

My presentation to the Humanists of Houston, 2013/02/16, recorded by Steve Jordan and Vic Wang. Most of my references came from this creationist website: http://www.genesispark.com/ I probably should have mentioned here how there was never any unfossilized original biological material, and certainly no undecomposed blood cells confirmed found in any non-avian dinosaurs.  If anyone wants […]

‘Activate Your Activism’ was my speech at UT Dallas last Saturday. http://youtu.be/9KsjYagTC_E This is my report on how the Religious Right continues to undermine education in Texas.

The Texas Bigfoot Research Conservancy is sponsoring an all day event -from 9:00am to 7:00pm Saturday March 16th at the Fort Worth Convention Center.  Not kidding. As a former sasquatch myself, (Luna, New Mexico 1988) I’m really surprised that I wasn’t asked to speak at this convention.  Especially since there really haven’t been that many […]

Is it merely an irrational assumption?  Or a deeply disturbing delusion? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sIRjxQIYOj4 How would you reason with this guy?  Could you? I can’t help but imagine a waterphone playing in the background as he whispers. I often wonder about people like this. Did his religion drive him crazy? Or is he religious because he’s already […]

I’m gonna miss the old sith lord.  He was the best pope atheists could hope for. He started out as a Hitler youth actually wearing a Nazi uniform.  As a Cardinal, he famously conspired to conceal sex crimes against children for the sake of the church.  As pope, he addressed an audience in an AIDS […]

JT Eberhard will open the North Texas Secular convention this afternoon. Brian (Mr Deity) Dalton will be on at 8:00pm.  I will speak at 9:00am tomorrow (Saturday) morning.  Several good speakers are there, Greta Christina, Jerry DeWitt, Zack Kopplin, David Smalley of DogmaDebate, and Brother Sam Singleton, the Atheist Evangelist -to name a few.  It’s a […]

This is not the same ‘Godless’ as the documentary made by Staise Gonzalez.  It’s a different piece with the same name. A couple years ago, a Canadian film crew came to record our Fellowship of Free Thought meeting for a documentary on atheists.  We skipped Skepticon that year to be involved.  I didn’t feel it […]

I got the following message from Thor Viðar Jónsson of Siðmennt.  We don’t hear about most of the cool stuff going on in Iceland, so I thought I would share. Today, January 30, 2013, the Icelandic Parliament (Althing) passed a law which gives secular life stance organizations the right to apply for equal legal status […]
