The “Atheist,” the “Muslim,” the “Christian” Murderers – and their victims: Stephen Tyrone Johns, William Long and George Tiller
It seems that recent events have taught us quite a few important lessons. I am referring to: The murder of Stephen Tyrone Johns by the “atheist” James von Brunn (some term his name James van Brunn). The murder to George Tiller by the “Christian” Scott P. Roeder. The murder of William Long by the “Muslim”…

Evidence. Evidence. As I stood in the shower, this one word kept repeating itself in my mind, for I was thinking most intensely about the constant demand…

StatGuy Strikes Again – On “Societies worse off 'when they have God on their side'”
Yes, StatGuy has struck again and dealt another portion of his Magic Statistic potion. Adonais made us aware of Ruth Gledhill’s Times of London article, Societies worse off “when they have God on their side”, which serves as a summary of a study in the Journal of Religion and Society. The original study Journal of…

Dennis McKinsey and the Fallacy of the Homicide Detective
Many interesting things surfaced during an exchange between James White and Dennis McKinsey of Encyclopedia of Biblical Errancy infamy, and fallacy. Their exchange is found as Letters to an Anti-Theist on James White’s Alpha and Omega Ministries website. What interested me in particular was a statement found in the 2nd Reply to Dr. James White…

Daniel Dennett – Belief in Belief
On belief in unbelief and unbelief in belief In his book Breaking the Spell – Religion as a Natural Phenomenon, Daniel Dennett promulgates belief of “belief in belief’ in which he believes—believe me. The basic concept behind “belief in belief’ is that beyond, for example, “belief in God” there is “belief in belief’ which is…

Questioning Camp Quest
Since Camp Quest is not anti-religion (right?) the Texas branch is being hosted by, get this, a “Church of Freethought.” The little tikes whose parents want to ensure are raised as atheists will have quite the jam packed schedule at the first Camp Quest in Texas as the summer camp experience will consist of one…

The Desperation of the Deicidal, Memetic Eugenics and the Evolutionary Watchmen, part 1 of 2
True Freethinker has considered some statements made by Dan Barker during his debate with Peter Payne which I entitled Dan Barker and the Alien Rape Voyeurs. Any ethical system that’s based on threats and promises is morally bankrupt…That is a morally bankrupt thing to do. To begin with we must note that this is, of…

The BOBA Digest, Part 2: Daniel Dennett's Desperation
I perceive that Professor of Philosophy Daniel Dennett is a pretty bright personage (pun intended). Unfortunately, when he gets into the neo-atheist mindset he appears to lose his wits, his cool and his erudition as a professor of philosophy. With regards to accountability, or responsibility, Daniel Dennett wrote: “Those who maintain religions, and take steps…
