Christian Bookstore: An Unexpected Find

I love browsing in Christian bookstores. But more than that, I love being inside a Christian bookstore on the Sabbath. It is just so blasphemous and the Christians who work there have no idea that they are actually breaking one of the Ten Commandments.

Getting To The 24th Century

I grew up in a pretty sheltered environment and I think that has a lot to do with why I am so outspoken about my lack of belief in deities and my support for skepticism and science. I had never met anyone who valued religion over science until I went to college.

The World Will End… Tonight!!!

I know that there were a lot of people worried that something was going to happen because the Mayan calendar had run out. Some people even thought the world was going to end. When December 21st passed, people said that the Mayans were wrong. But they weren’t.

Happy HumanLight

Today is the conjunction of three holidays and Christmas ain’t one. Many atheists are aware that today is Festivus. But…

God & Guns

I find it odd that the religions that claim to be “religions of peace” often tend to have the most violent believers. Sure we can point our fingers at Islam and all the beheadings that Muslim extremists are so quick to execute, but Christians aren’t much different. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying that all Christians are violent gun nuts, but I am saying that if you know a violent gun nut, he or she is probably a Christians.
