I’m sure if you’re at all active in the atheist community, you’re somewhat familiar with the labels that have been assigned to us over the years. There’s “angry” atheists, “militant” atheists, “overbearing” atheists, and on and on and on. In fact, that seems to be a pretty popular tool of the anti-atheists out there – […]

We get a number of comments on the blog entries, including this one in response to Beth’s piece on why we’re thrilled that New York has legalized same-sex marriage: Here’s the thing. Even Obama says that a “Marriage” should be between a man and a woman. Why do gays have to have “Marriage”. Why can’t […]

I am happy.  In fact, I’m a little ecstatic.  You should be too.  The fact that New York has legalized same sex marriage SHOULD matter to everyone. When you live in a country and lauds itself for being the best, brightest, and most progressive nation in the entire world, that kind of amped up rhetoric becomes bitterly difficult […]

In North Carolina there has been a bit of controversy stirring for almost a year regarding flags at a veterans memorial.  The real trouble started in December, when the King city government decided to start holding a lottery where winners would be allowed to fly a flag representing the faith of the veteran they wished […]

First, please forgive me for linking to The New American.  I know, I know.  Trust me when I say that this article is actually pretty even-handed, and it leads me to a digression that has nothing to do with Ron Paul. Recently the atheist-visibility organization New York City Atheists protested NYC’s decision to rename one […]

Mike here. Hey folks, I want to thank you for sticking with us for the past couple weeks without any new posts on the website. Believe me when I say, it’s not you, it’s us. It’s always been a skeleton crew working on the website — with Sam as our chief engineer and Beth and […]

Since I didn’t get a chance to post the video for episode 10 to the website until Saturday, I’m going to keep it up in the prominent space until E11 is ready to roll.   It’s only fair.

  Oh, boy. Germany’s Union of Catholic Physicians offers a “treatment” for homosexuality.  And it’s homeopathic.  Who’s surprised?  Treat a nonexistent ailment with a nonexistent cure.  When you look at it that way, it almost makes sense. No, wait.  No it doesn’t.  Nothing about it makes sense to any person who hasn’t entirely switched off […]

Mike here. Anyone who knows me knows that I love comic books. So when I find one that ham-handedly tackles religion, it’s like someone got chocolate in my peanut butter. And when you toss in the spectacular awfulness that was the 1990’s era of comics, I’m sold!

I try to be a glass half full kind of lady, so I think it’s great that the UK scouts are trying to be more inclusive for gays, regardless of what their organization traditionally stood for in the past.  More inclusive is a good step, but it doesn’t mean the scouts are any more inclusive […]
