Free Will … Maybe — Part 2.1
February 27th, 2012 
Hank Fox In making the point of how much free will we don’t have, I wanted to write about a concept I came up with a few years back, something to help us understand the, well, “automaticness” of much of what goes on in our heads. Searching for something on it, I came across this chapter of [...]
Ghost Rider … Um … SUCKED
February 27th, 2012 Hank Fox You have no idea what a fanboy I am when it comes to superhero movies. At 59, I’m often the oldest person in the theater at midnight openers. (Speaking of which, the Spider-Man trailer looks suweeeet! And oh yeah, I’ll be there for the midnight show.) I went to see the second coming of Ghost [...]
7 Things Christians Can’t Prove Aren’t True
February 25th, 2012 Hank Fox (Sorry, brain running on idle so far this morning. I swear the following has nothing to do with drugs. This is a sort of sideways answer to those who say you can’t prove there’s no God.) 1) In Heaven, everybody has delicious Thomas’s English muffins for breakfast, and they come already toasted and slathered with [...]
Go List for Unbelievers
February 24th, 2012 Hank Fox Looking for reader contributions here. Say there are two or three levels of atheism – like Level 1, Level 2, Level 3, or maybe Novice, Intermediate, Advanced. Or possibly Apprentice, Journeyman, Master. And say there were some things you should probably do at each level in order to qualify – in your own mind if [...]
Jesus by Mail! (email, anyway)
February 23rd, 2012 Hank Fox Sigh. One of my good, old friends from Texas sent me an email. If you’ve ever gotten one of those multiply-forwarded Christian thingies, you know what it looks like. Letters half and inch high on my screen. Every paragraph a different color. Comic Sans typeface. Yeah, like this:
Interjection, With Tears
February 23rd, 2012 Hank Fox I’ve shied away from gushing at length about my Dad’s death here. Mainly I think of my own “guy” reaction to other people’s family-death turmoils. It’s a personal thing, or should be, and you shouldn’t go flashing it around in public too much. But I also feel that I owe all of you something. Periodic [...]
Nothing To Do With Atheism, Everything To Do With Coolness
February 21st, 2012 Hank Fox Brian Dettmer does art. I saw something like this a few years ago — I guess it must have been his work — and I love it.
Free Will … Maybe – Part 1
February 21st, 2012 Hank Fox Despite the fact that Daniel Fincke and I once, a long time back, mutually challenged each other to debate it, I’ve been putting off this post, or any post on the subject, for some time. And I’ll tell you why: Mainly, I’ve just realized, it’s because I’m afraid of it. For someone like Sam Harris [...]
On My Slaveholding Ancestors
February 20th, 2012 Hank Fox Regarding ancestral slave owning (which accusation some complete and utter idiot has attempted to smear Richard Dawkins with — and no, I’m not linking to it, because I don’t link to complete and utter idiots): Just in case the charge is ever leveled at me:
