• Good without god?

    Theists charge that goodness and morality are the domain of the believer. They assert that, without their deity, it's impossible to be "good" or to commit moral acts. Morality is a product of human evolution. As the most socialized animal on earth, we have an overall better chance of survival throu…
  • The Label Fallacy

    Cross-post. Original: JDN 2456001 (yesterday was a kiloday, today is Einstein Day!) EDT 15:39. Current: JDN 2456036 EDT 20:11. I’ve noticed yet another failure mode of human reasoning, one which doesn’t have a name as a standard bias or fallacy. I’m not sure what to call it: for t…
  • God's Yes Men

    http://raptureready.com/rr-yes-men.html GOD'S YES MEN by Todd Strandberg Most people regard God to be a flawless role model. If He said it was so, then it must be true. Christians rely on His wisdom - The Holy Bible - to guide the decisions we make each day. Even atheists that say they don't beli…
  • Atheists Anonymous.

    Someone did a blog about the whole "you have to believe in god to get sober" type of evangelism that goes on at many AA meetings and said that if that were true how do billions of atheists get/stay sober every day. I thought my response blog-worthy: To be fair millions of atheists do it every day…
  • An Atheist Waxes Poetic About The Nature Of God.

    This is a comment I gave just a minute ago in which I, toward the end, wax poetic about the nature of god/the universe. It's kind of deep (though not entirely original to be fair) so I thought you might enjoy: "Would you find the definition of God as an infinite being to be a meaningless concept…
  • Re: Atheists Don't Live As Long.

    Someone honestly not even worth mentioning on xanga did a blog claiming that atheists die sooner, are generally less educated, less accomplished etc. And setting aside that many of those claims are actually backwards, this person then went on to say that atheists should be denied organ transplants…
  • Church may be coming to an end?

    The article below describes how Americans are pushing away from organized religion in search of something new. Now as Atheists/Agnostics, we that have pushed so hard for Americans to do away with religious thinking period must concede that the scenario below is the closest we might ever come to havi…
  • Most Logical Argument Of The Year Award.

    I posted to a blog where a christian was talking about the tradition of meditating/praying in total darkness as the true way to get close to god, and how christians apparently traditionally did this. I responded: Another way to look at it is sensory deprivation which can induce hallucinations and…
  • Atheists Are To Blame For Society's Problems.

    I just read a blog that was basically saying atheist's (and christians who are atheists "for all intents") are to blame for society's problems and that if we just accepted that god was our "lord" and obeyed him everything would be right as rain. I gave this response: Yeah, as opposed to the 1500…
  • In God We Trust

    Scott Burdick has published In God We Trust, free on YouTube, a fascinating two-hour documentary on the town of King, North Carolina, its secular minority, its Christian majority, its religious diversity, a war memorial with one too many flags. Throughout the documentary are in-depth interviews wit…
