Religion Does Poison Everything (A Personal Experience)

This has been on my mind a little lately. But it took place 10 years ago. It’s a personal story of how religion poisons the minds of seemingly decent people. I was 16 and suffice it to say, I began my first “long-term” relationship – 7 or 8 months. (I am not the type of [...]

Child Indoctrination Is Wrong AND Unnecessary

It doesn’t take religion to raise a kid with good values, says Minnesota writer, editor and teacher Dale McGowan in his new anthology. This article points out the obvious to us atheists and secularists alike. As obvious as it may be to freethinkers, it’s clearly not to all religious folks. McGowan, 44, a father of [...]

“The Creationist Concept of Kind”

A great take on the Creationist usage of kind. It’s not a scientific term, nor is its meaning specific in any way. Take a look for yourself: One thing that occurs to me immediately after the mentioning of Noah’s Ark: Did he take one of each bug, too? I realize that there are a million [...]

Christopher Hitchens: Religion Poisons Everything

In a recent interview on Truthdig.com, Jon Wiener asks Christopher Hitchens some questions after the release of his latest book, God Is Not Great. Wiener: Yes, the Old Testament is full of these horrors. But it also contains the Ten Commandments, prohibiting killing, stealing, adultery, and lying—isn’t this a good thing? Hitchens: No. it’s not.

London Advances While the U.S. Prays

Sight has been restored in a few blind mice. According to NewScientist.com: In principle, restoring sight to animals that have simply lost photoreceptor cells should be relatively easy, because most of the brain’s wiring for vision is still intact. Previous attempts to treat such blindness by transplanting stem cells had been unsuccessful, however. The stem [...]

Atheism in Real Time

Do atheists have theist friends? Well do you? Generally, I’d say yes. That is, unless, the atheist “comes out” to said friend. In some cases, people will shy away from an atheist. Why is being reasonable such a bad thing? Open atheists have harder times making friends of similar interests because as we’ve heard before: [...]
