Atheists Behaving Badly
As many of us know, a favorite tactic of the atheist blogosphere is to cherry pick stories that put religion, or religious people, in a bad light. A constant, steady stream of such stories helps them to maintain and propagate … Continue reading
Year in Review: New Atheist Insights
With the year about to end, let’s pause and consider some of the deep insights we have learned from New Atheist leaders in 2013. I consider these defining moments that I will be able to revisit again in the future.
New Atheists Don’t Want to Believe
Lawrence Krauss, who was unexplainably radicalized to become a New Atheist, gave an interview about his most recent book to a Christian radio show. You can listen to the podcast here, but I simply want to draw your attention to … Continue reading
Purpose of the day
Russ Douthat caused Jerry Coyne to have another tantrum. There is no need to respond to the whole rant, but this part begs for commentary: Yes, secularism does propose a physical and purposeless universe, and many (but not all) of … Continue reading

An Encore Presentation of the Dawkins-Boghossian Show
Well, Christmas time is upon us and I’ll likely to be too busy to post a new entry until afterward. So I thought I would put the Dawkins interview back on the top of the page since it was such … Continue reading
More Atheist-As-Victim Drama
Time for more dishonest street theater from the New Atheists. Militant atheist Jerry Coyne is once again trying to play the “atheist-as-victim” card with a blog entry entitled, Local park district, then library, reject $3000 donation because it came from … Continue reading
