Time to stand up
Why should you go to the Reason Rally? Here’s a video that makes the case for you. Rise up. We can do better. But first we have to stand against superstitious nonsense.

I read the Regal Standard so you don’t have to
Dennis Prince is one of those humble Christians who, like the evangelicals who plan to evangelize at the Reason Rally, is determined to intrude on the Global Atheist Convention. His method: he has produced a rag of a paper called the Regal Standard which he’s asking people to buy and distribute as testimony to the …

Why I am an atheist – Thinking Shogun
I am an atheist probably since I was 10. I guess it was an inevitable gradual process that comes to be by learning about science and plain old common sense. A few events I remember that shaped my skeptic mind went on like this: While learning about the origin of the Universe in the 4th …

Jesus heals cancer in New Zealand
There is a church in New Zealand that has a genuinely repulsive billboard: it boldly claims that “JESUS HEALS CANCER“. It’s a lie, of course: they have no evidence of such a power.

That wasn’t a handicap at all, because there is no dearth of diverse godless authors with all kinds of …

Knitting souls with an approved wanton sounds like fun to me
It’s been a while since I said this, so it’s time for a booster shot: I really hate “framing”. It’s a sell-out that leads to people making their opponents’ arguments for them, as they try to bend over backwards to see it through the oppositions’ eyes. It’s far, far better to see your own position …

Why I am an atheist – Doug Mackie
I rumbled Santa and religion before I was 6 and I really thought until I got to high school that everyone knew both were tosh but just Yes, Virginia pretended for kids. I thank my parents for *never* mentioning *anything* to do with religion. I think they had faith of some sort but they were …
