My friend Jesse has told me I need to reevaluate de Botton. I re-read his CNN article and I don’t think I need to change anything, but I do want to explain why I think the truth is so important. In his piece de Botton opens by calling the question of god’s existence boring. Perhaps [...]

If Your Argument Can’t Beat Homer Simpson, It Probably Sucks

JT Eberhard This will make Greta happy.
#Occupy Middle Ground
December 13th, 2011 JT Eberhard When people talk about atheists being one extreme as compared to religion it awakens that little part of my brain that wants to punch all the dumb out of the world. You know what extreme reason looks like? It looks like technology that let’s us take pictures of other galaxies. It looks like cell phones [...]
Talking About Polyamory With Your Partner
November 25th, 2011 JT Eberhard As I learn more about polyamory I’m noticing a pattern. Most of the people I talk to who live polyamorously began their relationships as polyamorous. But is there anybody out there who started out in a monogamous relationship and later came to the realization that polyamory was what suited you best? Did your partner come [...]

Though issues of science are certainly beholden to their fair share of jargon, the teachers I spoke [...]
“You haven’t proven god *doesn’t* exist!”
August 4th, 2011 JT Eberhard I hear it all the damn time: you haven’t proven that god doesn’t exist! The deepest abyss in the pantheon of shitty arguments was carved for this one, yet I hear it so frequently that I can’t believe I haven’t written up a suitable response to copy/paste from as I have with so many other [...]
Polyamory: more sex leads to beating children
July 12th, 2011 JT Eberhard Boy, it can be hard having friends like mine. The other day at work I was sent this festering pile of wrong. It’s an article in the Washington Post about how people should not be polyamorous by W. Bradford Wilcox. The article was saturated with shitty arguments and bad sourcing. Did you know that polyamory [...]
There are good reasons to be good
May 9th, 2011 JT Eberhard I was invited to hang out with a friend last night who had some of her friends visiting from out of town. Everybody was lovely and a good time was had by all, but at one point the conversation turned to why I felt the need to criticize religion. I explained that religion is predicated [...]
