Why it’s Good to be an Atheist

April 23, 2010

Many times, when speaking with Christians, we hear that Christianity gives them things. It gives them peace, hope, joy, guidance. On the other hand, atheists don’t say the same thing about atheism. I think that’s just bunk. Atheism is not a set of beliefs. I understand that. Atheism doesn’t give you a set of rules [...]

More Stupid Moments in Atheism

March 10, 2010

Another atheist idiot is out trying to stop a stamp from being made. I have mixed feelings about this video, but I’m more irritated than amused. On the one hand, it’s nice to see an asshat shown to be an idiot in a humorous manner, but on the other hand, this guy is making a [...]

March 8, 2010

For all of known history, it has been taboo to criticize religion unless your religion was the dominant one. Lately though, that is changing, and changing in a big way.

Atheist City councilman’s seat threatened because he doesn’t believe in God.

Wow! I would never have predicted finding this story. It seems there are places in the US that still have laws against a person holding political office that does not believe in God. Even better, there are people trying to use it to get a newly elected city councilman kicked out of office after he [...]

Should Strong Atheists Worry?

November 1, 2009

I have struggled with the differences between strong and weak atheism ever since I realized I was an atheist. This seems to worry many atheists as well since they have to overcome the problem of logic when claiming something absolutely doesn’t exist. I feel it is unnecessary though.

Who is a true Scotsman?

October 26, 2009

No true Scotsman could … I often tell people they are using the “no true scotsman” fallacy. Since I am kind of tired of explaining this to people, I figured I would show, in a long winded manner, what this is. When you speak to atheists that were once believers, you will find that they [...]
