I’ve heard that Qatar is one of those places where atheism carries a death sentence. We call it k’TAR, but the locals seem to call it CATTar. All I saw was Hamad Airport in Doha. It’s a huge ultra-modern hub and the people are justifiably very proud of it. It tempts me to take a […]
Lemmy RIP
In 1982, I was all about Ozzy Osbourne and Black Sabbath. But a few of my friends told me that I reminded them of someone else. They showed me a picture of Lemmy Kilmister, front man and bassist for speed-metal band, Motörhead. The thing is, at that moment, by sheer coincidence, I happened to be […]
FBB fund against the Texas twister
Due to the F4 wedge tornado that killed a dozen people in our neighborhood last night, the Foundation Beyond Belief has initiated an aid donation facebook fund to help affected survivors.
Refuting the allegedly irrefutable proof of God
David C. Pack of the Restored Church of God made five half-hour videos claiming to list what he says are indisputable irrefutable absolute proof of God. I’m making a series of videos disputing refuting and absolutely disproving his claims point by point. Last week I showed the first video of that series, which was an […]
Indisputable Irrefutable Absolute Proof of God
The front man for the Restored Church of God is at least as deserving of a take-down reality check as any other creationist, especially since this guy is the author of so many publications dedicated to misinformation. I never heard of him before now. He’s one of those multimillion-dollar charlatans who somehow he slipped under […]
The Cowardice of the NRA and the Politicians They Own.
The power to end the mass shooting epidemic has always been in the hands of the American people. As if we needed another reminder that Republicans are too cowardly to oppose their faithful campaign contributors in the NRA, yesterday the Senate blocked an emergency effort by Senate Democrats to keep guns out of the hands […]
Another Religious Witch Hunt
I’ve often said that whenever religion has had rule over law, the result has always been an automatic violation of human rights. This is why I’m an advocate for secular governance. Because all the news I hear from theocratic regions is just this stupid and sometimes worse. [youtube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gI12_lmsp9g&[/youtube] This is another example of a literal […]
Look who dropped in
Something fell through the ceiling. It made quite a mess. Oh look who it is. You are adorable! I coaxed that opossum into a pet carrier and took her down to the park. I left the door open with a piece of turkey on the exit, and left it in a field by a creek […]
Creationism’s False Equivalence
This was my lecture to the Secular Student Alliance at the University of North Dakota in Grand Forks, 2015/11/24. [youtube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D9p3dE5C4_8[/youtube] Today I’m going to talk about creationism, also known as Intelligent Design or Creation Science –as compared and contrasted with actual science. The term creationists use to describe actual science is ‘evolutionary’ science, but they […]
How we atheists do Thanksgiving
My friend, Vyckie Garrison posted a very sweet article on Raw Story about how atheists celebrate Thanksgiving. She asked several prominent atheists to participate, and I meant to. I don’t know what happened. I thought I sent the message, but I’m not seeing it now. Pity. I really wanted to be a part of that. […]
