Biography

Lilandra in real life is often referred to as "MrsRA", "LadyRA"or"SheRA(by those with feminist tendencies). A few of the people she meets with The Mister on their travels through the secular community have made an effort to know her a bit as well (to their credit )including The Thinking Atheist, ZOMGitsCriss, Healthy Addict, Laurie Linder, DPRJones, Thunderf00t, C0nc0rdance, Todd Stiefel, Jason Bathon (Director of the Arkansas Humanists),The Peach, the True Pooka, Askegg, and the unflappable Matt Dillahunty and Beth Presswood. Most folks understandably gravitate to her massive spouse's inescapable charisma and much better publicized but well-earned internet persona. The story of how she met Aron Ra is not surprisingly entangled with religion and the crevo debate (Pre-Youtube), That story is for another time. When Lilandra is not trapped inside AronRa's sphere of influence, she is a science educator and advocate. Please don't feel sorry for her; she meets the most interesting people this way. She also contributes regularly on the topic of education to a major metropolitan southern newspaper that leans a bit to the right . This forum has allowed her to expand her sphere of influence ever so slightly into the realm of people who would not otherwise be exposed to progressive viewpoints. Her youtube videos focus on science education and freethought. She has a unique understanding of religious point of views that comes from being raised as a Southern Baptist/Catholic in two separate households. She hopes to bring what Aron Ra sometimes describes as "girly" point of view that is sometimes necessary to Aron's Blog, sort of like what she brings to the marriage. Kind of like a yin and yang thing without the New Age hokum...

This blog is moderated

Aron and I have been debating on the internet for years.  The best discussions even on Christian sites have been moderated.  In fact as a former Christian I changed my mind about evolution on a Christian site with Aron’s help.  The quality of the discussion is important. This is not YouTube.  Bad comments are not …

A Short Response to Steven Novella’s “Bigfoot Skeptics, New Atheists, Politics and Religion”

      Dr. Steven Novella of JREF has posted in response to PZ’s post on skeptical consistency in defense of economic policies particularly libertarianism. The gist of Novella’s main contention with PZ is… Perhaps I am misunderstanding what PZ is saying here, and if so please correct me, but this sounds an awful lot …

Finding courage to keep the darkness of ignorance at bay Part I

"Dawn take you all, and be stone to you!"

While there may be places on Earth that equal the darkness of Mordor of Middle Earth in terms of the very real evil of ignorance more than Texas this year; that won’t be from a lack of effort on the part of the Texas Legislature. Secularists here are already beleaguered trying to stamp out the encroachments …

Gay man’s love is more powerful than his father’s religious hate.

fam

This man’s story from NPR’s “Story Corps” brought a tear to my eye. Bryan Wilmoth and his 7 siblings were raised in a brutally religious family.  Upon finding a love letter from another boy to Bryan, his father abandoned his 15 year old son in the middle of a field with a 5 dollar bill. Rather …

The Foundational Oft-Repeated Fallacies of Sexism Deniers

discworld

9/11 Truthers, Moon Landing Deniers,  Holocaust Deniers, Evolution Deniers, Creationism… It seems controversial ideas are polarizing and can generate extreme views.  Some ideas like the fact that the Earth is spheroid can even generate full-blown conspiracy theories. In fact, there once was a history teacher at my high school that was a flat-earther. This happened …

If only more schools could display more nativity scenes and menorahs…

My teacher said we made this to placate the harvest god Freyr.

State Rep. Dwayne Bohac, R-Houston filed a bill in the Texas legislature that is expected to receive bipartisan support to help religious-minded teachers and schools use holiday greetings like “Merry Christmas” and “Happy Hanukkah” and to “display Christmas trees, Nativity scenes, menorahs and other cultural icons of winter celebrations”.   So technically a Wiccan teacher, could …

Being a closeted atheist can still cost you –so I am coming out.

About 7 years ago, in West Texas, the childhood home of G.W. Bush, I realized I didn’t believe in any god.  Even though I later married Aron Ra, a loud, proud and publicly known atheist, I have kept my atheism out of the public arena of ideas.  Six years ago, I learned that even posting …

A professed pro-life feminist’s attempt to co-opt feminists of the past.

Turn of the 20th Century Magdalene Asylum

A “New Wave Feminist” pro-life advocate posted  three strategies aimed at abolishing abortion that she believes will, “make abolition a beautiful reality.” They are… 1. “Pro-Life Feminists” What does make an impression is when women who are self-described feminists adopt a pro-life position. It blows people’s minds a little bit. It’s the thing that started …

Going to have to burn my new Secular Humanism T-Shirt by Lilandra

What are they trying to say?

WTH?! I followed a link from a blog comment linking the Tea Party to Fascist government to a secular humanist site.  You know you have to be ever vigilant against fascism. Right?  But then what is up with this site’s banner… Why make a point to everyone that visits the site that you are “Beyond …

Ultimate Blasphemy!

Rejecting the imperceptible and undetectable is unforgivable.

Lilandra here.According to the Bible, the ultimate, unpardonable blasphemy is rejecting the Holy Spirit.   Apparently, rejecting the imperceptible and undetectable is unforgivable. Are you Unforgiven II?
