So… it turns out that I define “Morality” entirely differently than theists, which shouldn’t come as a shock to anyone, now that I think of it, but I got into an interesting conversation about the nature and definition of morality itself. My opponent (I think of it as a debate) believed that universal, objective morality [...]
Why Life Matters, Even Without God…
I received a comment on my previous post (I love drawn out debates… ) stating that I didn’t really debunk any of the arguments in the video I was critiquing (I won’t link it again). Well… that argument was, essentially, that if you believe that you were the product of natural evolution, the conclusion [...]
Debunking a Creationist…
Well… I haven’t written in a while (I seem to be writing that alot), but research papers that are required to receive a degree take precedent… sorry.
On to the content of this post… I was tagged in a note on facebook by Christian I talked to whilst participating in an “Ask an Atheist” [...]
Christian Website Makes Idiotic Arguments “Refuting” Atheism
So… I was tag surfing today, and I found this article called Atheism: An Irrational Worldview. The gist of the argument was that Atheists only believe in material things (not necessarily true), the Laws of Logic are immaterial, therefore, Atheists can’t believe in the laws of logic without being self-contradictory. It doesn’t take a philosopher [...]
Dr. Ron Paul: A Snake in the Grass
I’ve been pretty hard on Dr. Paul recently, and today will be no different. Before people erroneously label me as a “hater,” it should be known that I am actually a former Ron Paul supporter, and then a friend of mine pointed me to some of his writings. Then, upon looking further into [...]
Another Reason Why I Won’t Vote for Ron Paul
Yep… that video is of Ron Paul rejecting evolution… That is another thing that I will never vote for, rejection of Evolution.
This isn’t an anti-religion thing, though I have been known to have that streak in my comments. No, it has to do with knowing what terms actually mean in context [...]
Fundie Boycotts and The Marketplace of Ideas
This past weekend, The Golden Compass came out in theaters. For those of you who don’t know, here’s the link to its wikipedia article. I was searching through Facebook groups with the movie’s title in their name, and the first dozen or so were called things like “Boycott the Atheist Golden Compass” [...]
Why I Won’t Vote for Ron Paul (AHOW)
I do consider myself to be at least vaguely libertarian, but I just cannot bring myself to vote for Representative Ron Paul (R-TX). While I don’t think that any of his goals will come to fruition with a sane Congress, and an inactive President can screw less up, there is one thing that I [...]
Why I’m an Atheist, and What that Means
If there is something that the people who know me know, I am a real stickler for logic and reasoning. That is, I will generally not believe something unless there is necessary and sufficient evidence for that belief. For example, I am not going to believe in Russell’s Teapot because there is [...]
CRAP! THEY FOUND OUT!!! (AHOW)
This Larry Craig thing is ridiculous… and I don’t care whether or not the guy is gay (though that would make his opposition to Gay Marriage puzzling and ironic). The way I see it, Craig was detained for soliciting sex in a public restroom, something that he contested at the get-go. He then, in an [...]
