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 […]
Courtney Caldwell and Sarah Moglia joining me to discuss secular anti-choice arguments withMSS
So I won’t be the “token woman” on this round of discussion on the Magic Sandwich Show. Sarah Moglia has already weighed in on her opinion of secular arguments against abortion. Also Courtney Caldwell will be joining the discussion . I first became aware of her when she liveblogged the Wendy Davis filibuster. Should be an […]
Secular Pro-Life “Holocaust Baiting” Post 2
The second post looking at Secular Pro-Life’s tactics is up. I hope that informing the community about what they advocate will provide information about SPL for our community to make up their own minds. This series will show that the people at SPL aren’t critical thinkers and haven’t earned the title “freethinker.” To that aim, […]
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 […]

Lilandra’s part of the virtual conference is on now.
Happy New Year on a much older calendar
Because my wife is half-Vietnamese, I have to go to Houston this weekend, to meet the in-laws for what they consider to be one of their most important holidays, Chinese New Year. So while the rest of you guys are just barely getting into 2014, I’ll be ringing in the year of the horse, […]
