If you've never heard of The Blaze (like probably 99% of the population), it's a creation of Glenn Beck and his conservative production company, Mercury Radio Arts (the irony of naming your production company after a metal that makes one insane is probably lost on these people). If the site isn't regularly scaring people into buying gold, it feeds them pseudo information that plays into people's fears and p ...

Richard talks about his early Taoism (I feel you on that Asian mysticism bullshit, buddy), his deconversion to atheism, and his search for a philosophy of the world that made the most sense. He also talks about the preciousness of life and why we shouldn't be afraid of death. Be sure to check it out! (via Debunking Christianity) ...

This week, my special guest is Dan Fincke from the blog Camels with Hammers, and we discuss the level of discourse in the atheism community; and we voice our differences about the Atheism + movement. ...

There's a part of me (a small one, I assure you) that admires the conviction of creationists. They, at least, are honest about the fact that the science of evolution is a pretty huge slap in the face to the notion of a creator God. Not only does it completely invalidate their silly mythology, it also clearly indicates that human beings are a product of descent with modification, and not some special creatio ...

This week Ryan joins me as we talk about the early history of Humanism, and my general opinion about this new "Atheism +" thing. Come and get your fix! ...

Here's another "hey, atheists are being mean and should stop" article from someone clearly annoyed that people on Reddit have less than kind things to say about religion. If you want to find out why I call these guys Reddit Atheists, take a brief dip into the atheism subreddit. It is a place entirely defined by bitter, faux-enlightened young people sharing “thought-provoking” images about the horrific evils ...

If you're like me, you get a kick out of reading articles by religious people who claim to have the perfectly crafted argument which will finally win us over to the side of superstitious nonsense. Barring the serious amount of head trauma needed for such a conversion, I read these articles because they're a small window into the tortured logic of believers. Perhaps there's a part of me still waiting for som ...

Someone on r/atheism found this Ray Comfort flyer entitled Scientific Facts in the Bible: 100 Reasons to believe the Bible is Supernatural in Origin. The ironic title demonstrates the true stupidity at work here. Check out these awesome excerpts: Try to think of any explosion that has produced order. Does a terrorist bomb create harmony? Big bangs cause chaos. How could a big bang produce a rose, apple tree ...

So you fucked up. You drove drunk, smashed into another car, and injured the passengers. Now you're part of the legal system, and at the mercy of very human, and very flawed human beings who have a very tenuous grasp on the separation of church and state. The result is probation, and an odd book report on the book of Job. Such is the fate of Cassandra Tolley, who wound up agreeing to this strange request fr ...

So, as it turns out, sex is pretty popular, and over the past few decades, the use of condoms and other forms of contraceptives has helped decrease STI and pregnancy rates in places that actually bother to teach people real sexual education. Unfortunately for Americans, teaching has made way for preaching, and in this tospy turvy world, facts are the enemy. Enter 1flesh, a website dedicated to preventing co ...
