I picked up a nasty cold bug on my last round of travels; plus I’m exhausted from my last round of travels; plus I’m in the final stages of getting my porn collection ready for publication. So I’m taking a couple/few days off from blogging. Will be back soon.

Atheism and a Catch-22
I was doing a little writing — working on the introduction to my next book, if you want to know — and I thought of a whole new Catch-22 about atheism and atheist activism that hadn’t occurred to me when I’ve written about this before. It’s this. When atheists criticize religion, or argue that it …

What Do You Say to Grieving Non Believers?
This piece was originally published on AlterNet. If you know someone who’s grieving a death, and they don’t believe in a God or in any sort of afterlife… what do you say?

Caturday: Greta With All Three Kittens

“Shut Up, That’s Why” – A Follow-Up
Natalie Reed takes my piece on “Shut Up, That’s Why” arguments against atheism, and expands it to show how these arguments get used to silence feminism, queer rights, and other demands for social justice. I am so proud to be in a blogging network with this woman, I can’t even tell you.

What Atheists Are Thankful For
What are atheists thankful for? At Skepticon IV, the Fellowship of Freethought Dallas were videoing attendees/ speakers/ organizers/ vendors/ passers-by, asking us what we were thankful for.

Off to Skepticon – Brief Blog Semi-Break
I’m off to Skepticon today, I’ll be gone through Monday — and I don’t know how my time or my Internet connectivity will be when I’m away. (Hotels usually have wireless, but they sometimes make you pay for it, and I’m cheap.) So I may or may not be blogging much, or indeed at all, …
