Atheosphere

Over the course of the past month or so, I’ve read many different blogs in the “atheosphere” and ended up “starring” several in my Google Reader.  I also had this graphic that I played around with creating in Photoshop and wanted to find a creative way to share it, so here’s the links the blog [...]

Chuck Norris Sues Penguin

“What,” you say? Chuckie-boy has litigation against a nun? Or an Antarctic waterfowl? Nope. He’s suing Penguin the book publisher. What’s funny is why. The reason he’s suing a book publisher is because they published a book titled, The Truth About Chuck Norris: 400 facts about the World’s Greatest Human. Now, you ask, “is he [...]

The Historicity of Jesus: the Making of a Myth

So often I see it written on blogs or internet communities where the historicity of Jesus is being discussed where the Christian apologist will respond to those skeptical of a historical Jesus by reminding them that very little evidence exists to support the historicity of figures like Socrates, Alexander the Great, etc. While this may [...]

Presidential Candidates, Religion, Science

Religion Gone Too Far Republican Mitt Romney, amid questions about his faith raised by rival Mike Huckabee, said Wednesday that comparing political records on the stump and through the airwaves is legitimate for presidential contenders, but “attacking someone’s religion is really going too far.” First, I find it fascinating to watch two religious believers quibble [...]

The Recent Harris Poll on Belief

Harris Poll Interactive conducted a recent poll in November in which they sampled 2,455 American adults and asked a variety of questions regarding the their beliefs, mostly religious, though they did poll with questions about UFOs, ghosts, reincarnation, and the like. The tables of some of their results can be found at Harris Poll Interactive, [...]

Bill O’Reilly Interviews Atheist Lori Lipman Brown

On December 6, O’Reilly interviewed Lori Lipman Brown, the former Nevada state senator and currently the director and lobbyist for the Secular Coalition for America. This was in the wake of the Mitt Romney’s speech on “why my Mormon faith isn’t a problem.” Brown’s interaction with O’Reilly was very good and I think she did [...]

The Threat of Theocracy: Islam and World Domination

Make no mistake. Muslims seek to dominate the world. I’m not simply using hyperbole in that statement or exaggerating the threat that Islam poses to freedom and secular choices. Various cults of Islam are devout in their intent to spread their cults to all of humanity and publically state these intents. Moreover, it is written [...]

The Atheist Blogroll

I’ve recently joined the Atheist Blogroll, which includes hundreds of other bloggers who are atheists and blog about atheism. The link above is to the Mojoey’s instructions and qualifications should you want to join -but it looks like it had everyone but me. I’ve also put the blogroll link in my sidebar -I haven’t quite [...]

Militant Atheist – Is This a Real Label?

Or is it just a pejorative label invented by some theists who wish to depict their atheist critics as just as irrational and non-critical as they are? Indeed, there are also atheists who use the term, also pejoratively, for much the same thing. “Neville Chamberlain atheists” like Chris at Mixing Memory love to get their [...]

The So-Called War on Xmas. Uh… I Mean Christmas.

I get irked by the idiots on the airwaves and in print that go on and on about how there’s a “war on Christmas” as if there exists some secret Cabal of atheists seeking to destroy Christianity. That’s just stupid. We’re not secret! Some of us have made the best seller list (Dawkins, Hitchens, Dennett, [...]
