South Carolina Judge: I Sentence You to Read the Bible
Perhaps I should just start a regular feature called “My Dumb Home State”. South Carolina is known basically for being an embarrassment, and we like to continue that tradition thoroughly and frequently.

Atheist vs Christian Billboard: Let’s Be Friends
Nearly a month ago, I introduced you to the Columbia Coalition of Reason, which had put up a billboard inviting local non-theists to contact us. The reaction from Christians was predominantly negative, but we also received a lot of very positive responses from both non-believers and believers. This week, a local church decided to put up a …

Podcast Part II: Winning the War of Attrition
After we completed the main hour of the podcast, we continued our conversation and the guys over at “A Matter of Doubt” have been kind enough to put it up as a bonus clip. This is where we get into the things that I am most interested in, LGBT issues, argument, and humanism. I almost …
