Are You Arguing From Emotion?

August 30, 2010

I’ve been watching all these arguments about the mosque/cultural center at/near ground zero, and it strikes me as odd how people are taking so many differing positions on the issue.  This issue seems particularly popular among atheists. I’m going to get something out of the way first.  I’m going to call this a mosque, because [...]

Biology Textbooks Fear Creationists

August 28, 2010

I was reading the first chapter of my Biology Textbook, and it really goes into detail about how science has nothing to say on religious matters.  That along with the Syllabus I got for the class really shows how worried they are about creationists. The professor also strongly emphasized that science does not say anything [...]

Getting Back to Normal

August 28, 2010

I’ve been rather preoccupied lately.  I’ve had a lot going on over the summer, and it’s made me rather lazy at updating things on this blog.  I apologize for that, but everyone knows that this blog is just a hobby for me right? Anyway, I’m in school now.  Things are beginning to get calmed down, and within [...]

My Blog Got a Top Blog Award!

August 25, 2010

Now, I’m not sure what to think about this.  I never heard of this organization prior to this, but Onlineschools has determined that this blog is one of the top 50 atheism blogs. I find this rather interesting, and according to the email I got, a reader nominated this blog for the award. Congratulations! Madison [...]

Why I’ve Changed my Mind on Proposition 8

August 15, 2010

Well, I always thought that proposition 8 was terrible, and that it was unnecessarily prejudiced against homosexuals, but I have also always thought that it was legally unimpeachable without judicial activism.  I have changed my mind on the latter. Previous Position Previously, I have stated that gay marriage has no legal support.  I believed that [...]

Why is it my Country Where Christians are Nuttiest?

August 14, 2010

Here in the United States, we have quite a bit of things that other countries don’t.  One of those things is the separation of church and state.  I imagine there is another country or two where they may have this, but I haven’t heard of them. Another one of those things is a pantload of [...]

Shockofgod Debunked – Proof and Evidence that Atheism is Accurate and Correct

August 14, 2010

Well, I’m going to give this guy his continued 15 minutes of fame.  Shockofgod on YouTube has asked, albeit a long long time ago, for atheists to show “proof and evidence that atheism is accurate and correct”, and I’m going to give it to him. I know it feeds his ego, but the insanity of [...]

Calculating The Probability That God Exists

August 5, 2010

I came across a tweet today that said, “Either God exists or he doesn’t.  I’m happy with my 50%”  That seems true on its face, but there are multiple possibilities, and each time you add a possibility, the odds of any particular God existing get slimmer. How to Determine Chances for Existence If all we [...]

Will They Ever Give Up?

August 4, 2010

Well, now it’s Louisiana.  Just when you think that everyone should understand that creationism is dead in schools, another group of idiots makes a stupid move, and an even stupider statement. “Why not take a stand for Jesus and risk litigation?” I’m not going to go through all this over again.  FFRF has posted this [...]

Finally A Christian Group with Sense!

August 4, 2010

I’ve been seeing this Qur’an burning thing that Dove World Outreach Center has planned, and initially I thought, “Who gives a shit?”  In fact, a while back, a Christian church in NC was burning bibles, and I supported the idea, adding that they were burning 1 less edition than they should be. I have now [...]
