Black Friday Death: Were The Deals Worth It?
Image by Getty Images via DaylifeI have but one question for the more than 2,000 shoppers in Long Island who trampled a Wal-Mart employee to death on Black Friday - was it worth it? Get some good deals, did you? How much money did you end up saving, and was it a fair price for this man's death?...

Image by Ryoh A via FlickrAustin Cline recently posted a question he received on his forums asking why some atheists seemed to be offended by someone saying "Merry Christmas." At least for me, "offended" seems a bit strong. I'd prefer to use the term "annoyed" to describe how I feel upon hearing...

Thankful for the Atheist Movement

It Is About Reducing Isolation
Image via WikipediaI've got news for the Christians who are upset about atheist billboards, atheist bus advertisements, and atheist greeting cards. It is not about trying to take "Christ" out of Christmas at all. In fact, it isn't really even about you and your jealous little god at all. It is...

What Do Christians Have To Live For?
Image by givepeasachance via FlickrA recent post at Separate Spectrum started me thinking about this question. What do Christians have to live for? Some will answer that they live for their god. Fair enough, but I'm not sure how they do this? Many will claim to believe in some sort of afterlife,...

On The Logical Impossibility Of God
Image via WikipediaI was rereading a portion of George Smith's excellent Atheism: The case against God recently and found a part I'd like to summarize for the reader. It deals with a core aspect of what many atheists (this one included) believe, namely that the god of the major monotheistic...

Promoting Atheist Community: What Do We Want?
Image by clemente via FlickrIt has been clear to me for some time that we need a secular community, and I am happy to see others making similar arguments. I have called on my fellow atheist bloggers to begin the task of cataloging options for uniting nonbelievers. I think it is time to again pick...
