Seriously this is why I am so disgusted by the Religious Right. They exploit the emotions of those most in need, and offer a bald-faced fantasy whenever reality is grievous enough to grant their advantage. How dare Huckabee say that school is where we don’t want to talk about eternity, life, responsibility, or accountability. I […]
Post-Apocolyptic Atheist Christmas Special
Apparently I agreed to do another charity this weekend. I really need to keep a marker and a calendar next to each other. I’ll be joining this Rad Romanian to promote American Atheists this Saturday, December 22nd, immediately following the previously scheduled end of days. On that note, I would also like to point out […]
Air
My name is not Aaron; it’s Aron. It’s not pronounced like ‘errand’ but more like ‘aren’t’. If you take out the ‘o’, and read it as ‘Arn’, you’ll probably say it right. Although it’s better if you read it like the initials, R.N. It isn’t the same as the Yiddish name; it’s Scandinavian. I think […]
‘Merica Christmas
Check out my homepage here. I know that whenever American Christians bitch about their imagined war on Christmas, they’re really either trying to push their beliefs onto others, or they’re trying force theocratic violations of the 1st amendment. I have no problem with cultural holidays. Thanksgiving is one of my favorites. Obviously I’m not giving […]
Lookie there, I’m in the newspaper
For photos and more links about Aron Ra, click here. There was at least one reporter at the Texas Freethought Convention. I didn’t talk to her much. She was in one of the pubs on Austin’s 6th St chatting it up with Darryl Ray, Zachary Moore, and the like. So when a photographer showed up last […]
The Zombie Christ
If you live in the Dallas area, and you like independent films, We’re talking low-budget ‘B’ movies here. Well, lower than ‘B’. If you actually enjoyed the movies on MST3K… if you like movies that are so bad that they wouldn’t even be on MST3K, nor Rotten Tomatoes either… if you were able to sit […]
Morton’s Dementia
Back in the days of Usenet, one of the posters to Talk.Origins was a former creationist named Glenn Morton. He is the author of a meme, Morton’s Demon which explained the sort of confirmation bias at work in the religious mindset. This he had witnessed from within and without, and his story is an interesting […]
Lutheran Citations
I’m going to use this forum to address a criticism made against me on YouTube. I don’t think it warrants a video response, but neither can I properly convey my defense in comment blocks limited to 500 characters or less; especially when YouTube doesn’t allow them to be sorted and read in order, and they’ll […]
No saved recording of the Bob Dutko debate
In my debate with Bob Dutko, he criticized me for not debating the existence of God -which was my choice of topics from the selection he gave. I wish we had been able to talk about that, but instead he wasted most of that hour burning and re-building his strawman of my position while ignoring […]
MotorCops for kids toy run
Skepticon was my last conference/convention for the year, and 2012 was a great year for me: The GAC in Australia, the Reason Rally in DC, TAM in Las Vegas, and other events in several other states. I was on 33 airplanes this year, but I still drove to many of the rallies I attended. I also used my 9-passenger SUV as a limo to cart around […]
