Jewish atheists are good without god
More and more atheist Jews seem to be atheists who still join in some traditions. From reform to observant Jews, the concept of god is sometimes superfluous. For an atheist, Maxim Schrogin talks about God a lot. Over lunch at a Jewish deli, he ponders the impulse to believe — does it come from within or without? Why does God permit suffering? Finally, he pulls out a flowchart he made showing degrees of belief, which ranges from unquestioning faith to absolute atheism. He stabs the paper with...
Read MoreGnostic/Agnostic ↔ Theist/Atheist Graph
There have been other versions around but I made this one. Initially, I made it to go with an Examiner piece.

The study, which looked at posts on autism...

Islam has a lot of problem in it, as do all religions. Islam isn’t that much different, it’s only newer and there’s...
Read MoreOh my Flying Spaghetti Monster! Ooohya!
Not quite short and sweet enough while in the midst of sexual pleasure? ;) I’ve been asked before what atheists say during sex. Sometimes, I guess someone could be trying to be funny but it can sound derogatory. Why is saying your partner’s name in bed such a foreign idea to some?
