Needless to say, it makes me smile huge when I read about people actually going out and applying elbow grease toward making a better world. It makes me smile even bigger when it’s somebody I love.

Atheist poker for charity
May 11th, 2012 
JT Eberhard Bumping this up! Remember any donations above the cost of my plane ticket go to Foundation Beyond Belief. I come from a whole family of card players.

Nudist revolutionary calendar
March 10th, 2012 JT Eberhard Via Maryam Namazie. the Nude Photo Revolutionaries Calendar is being launched in homage to Egyptian atheist, student and blogger Aliaa Magda Elmahdy who posted a nude photo of herself, announcing the post on Twitter under the hashtag, #NudePhotoRevolutionary. Apparently the Muslims powers that be in Egypt didn’t care for Elmahdy’s immodest and openly defiant actions, [...]
Response to James Croft
February 15th, 2012 JT Eberhard I was live-blogging the interfaith panel at Reasonfest the other day. I had a consistent gripe that was very simple. The common ground between theists and non-theists lies precisely where the atheist already resides: in secularism.

$50,000 matching offer for Camp Quest
February 8th, 2012 JT Eberhard Camp Quest is awesome. Period. That’s why I’m gonna go be a counselor at Camp Quest Ohio this year. The few days I was present last year was an incredible time.

Mohawks and Charity
January 10th, 2012 JT Eberhard The Skepticon conference model (lots of famous atheists at no charge) made the atheist community available to a swath of new people – namely the people who couldn’t afford a few hundred bucks to see/meet their atheist heroes. A quick glance at the Skepticon crowd will confirm that a lot of those people were students, [...]

Our Reach is Global, Our Tower Secure, Our Cause is Noble, Our Power is Pure
December 13th, 2011 JT Eberhard “What’s your motivation to do good without god?” People ask that question and all I hear is “Without the fear of punishment I would probably stab you in the process of stealing your pornography” or “Why should I care about others unless it’s getting me into heaven?” It pretty much just makes me look at [...]
