The Meaning of Death, Part 3 of Many: Fear, Grief, and Actually Experiencing Your Emotions

Ebon had some excellent [...]
“Things to be angry about”: Google Poetry
February 25th, 2008 Greta Christina Saw this at An Apostate’s Chapel, and I loved it, so I’m doing my own version.

The Scarlet Letter: Visibility and the Atheist Logo
February 22nd, 2008 Greta Christina Insanely observant readers of this blog may have noted that I recently added the Scarlet Letter, the big red “A is for Atheist” A of the RichardDawkins.net Out Campaign, to my blog. I wanted to talk briefly about why. I’ve been resisting the Scarlet Letter for some time. Well, “resisting” is too strong a word. [...]

Carnivals of Bloggy Goodness!
February 20th, 2008 Greta Christina I’m a little behind on my blog carnival goodness, and there have been some excellent ones lately, so I want to get caught up.
