I’m doing a new podcast. Mark Nebo of BeSecular co-hosts the show, and he acts as producer as well. He wanted a title that had my name in it. My sense of humor came up with the Ra-Men. I want to do something different. Anybody can bitch about any situation and every solution anyone ever […]
My 3rd of the Unholy Trinity
This was my contribution to the first tour of the Unholy Trinity. It is so bizarre when I find myself addressing a full house from the podium of a church. I would have worn a blazer like I did in Amarillo and Albuquerque, but there was a problem with the air conditioning in that church […]
My 2nd Appearance on The Place
I had a very good interfaith interview with Dr. Jones of the New Covenant Group.
On being Mrs Ra (I get comments)
The first thing I need to get out of the way is for the most part it is great to be Mrs. Ra. I get to meet all sorts of interesting and intelligent freethinkers all over the country. And over time, I have come out of my introverted shell more. The cool thing lately, is […]
How Perry ran Texas
If you don’t live in Texas, then you’ve no idea what we’re up against here, but a good introduction to that is this list of Top 10 Things Texas Governor Rick Perry Doesn’t Want You to Know About Him. Curiously, this list does not include some of the things Texans most often criticize him for. […]

Ten years ago,he challenged me […]

You could make a case for the other 2 in the tour Seth Andrews or Matt Dillahunty. How does anyone know what Satan […]
Youtube Misogyny: Glenn and Rad on “Rodger Madman or Misogynist”?
Christina Rad has an excellent rebuttal to Jaclyn Glenn’s musings and follow up on Elliot Rodger, and his motives for a mass shooting. She has some astute observations on how words like mentally ill and insane are not interchangeable. I don’t want to ruin it for you, so go watch it. Of course, the comments […]
un-biotic
Isn’t this an amazing image? I saw this on Twitter, and had to talk about it. I am impressed that this can be an electron photograph. It has color and shadow. How? I wouldn’t have thought that possible. But most amazing is what it is, a T4 bacteriophage, a virus which infects E.coli. Why is […]

I will be hosting a workshop at Apostacon. This will be the first one I’ve ever done. So helpful suggestions will be appreciated. I will present a series of faith-based woo arguments and explain the philosophy or fallacy behind them. We will share the arguments we’ve heard, these Points Refuted A Thousand Times, and compare […]
