June 29th, 2010 
Greta Christina A sad, tired man takes the late train home from work. He comes home to his consolation: dinner and conversation and lovemaking with his beautiful girlfriend.

June 29th, 2010 Greta Christina Today’s Atheist Meme of the Day. Pass this on; or don’t; or edit it as you see fit; or make up your own. Enjoy!

Do You Care Whether the Religious Ideas You Believe in Are True or Not?
June 21st, 2010 Greta Christina What do you say to religious believers who don’t care about reality? I don’t mean people who unconsciously don’t care about reality. I don’t mean people who unconsciously resist or rationalize evidence when it contradicts the things they believe. I get that. That’s universally human. Everybody does that. Atheists, believers — everybody. Me, and you, [...]
