So, for those of you who missed this, a City Councilman in Asheville, NC may lose his seat because he is an athiest and, apparently, that makes him a second class citizen. Not just socially, but legally.Foes say atheism disqualifies pol – BostonHerald.com
That has riled conservative activists, who cite a little-noticed quirk in North Carolina’s [...]
I really don’t understand this position at all. While I do understand the idea that the atheist movement might need to deal more politely with those of faith (’understand’, not necessarily ‘agree with’), the idea that somehow saying that one can be good without god is too strong an attack on religion is ludicrous. It [...]
And this really is it. The more atheists that come out, the more WILL come out. Changing public acceptance and image of atheism is fundamental. I believe that there are far more people out there who don’t believe in magic-men-in-the-sky then we think, and I think there are even more people out there who say [...]
See, he’s just lying to you here. He’s not debating theism vs atheism. Theism vs Atheism: What’s at Stake
In other words, if there is no God, then liberalism makes sense. And if God does exist, then much of liberalism is invalid. This is why most of our public policies are based, indirectly at least, on [...]

There are, for example, experiments in Quantum Physics, such as the famous ‘dual slit’ experiment (you can see this in a YouTube video), which show electrons as appearing to be playing a [...]
Recently, I was watching an episode of West Wing. Toby and Josh have been talking about the upcoming election and candidate. Josh says something to the effect of “Toby, you want to beat this guy, but I want to win”.Thats something of the problem I’m seeing with atheism of late. The Xmas sign, the lawsuit [...]
If a Christian group bought some ad space on some busses advocating accepting Christ, the Jews of DC would not blink an eye. If the Jews did something similar, there’d be no outcry from Christians. But when atheists do it, there’s no end of venom.
Why is that?
At the core of virtually any theistic religion is [...]
I was talking with a friend last night and told him I’d posted this. Then I realized I had just ranted about it.
Rick Warren is seen as ‘bringing people together’ because it is still OK to hate fags and atheists.
