What if “this is it”? What if there is no soul that carries on beyond death. You die and you are dead, from that point no awareness, no consciousness, just nothing… a nothing you are not even aware of. Life would be considered precious. Religion offers the promise of eternal life. Paradise without end. At…

The pro-life crowd, as often defined, is a heinous bunch. I maintain that life is without value unless it has quality. The pro-life crowd does not believe in that. By opposing abortion and euthanasia it is clear that the pro-life crowd is not interested in quality of life. The pro-life crowd insists on every baby…

Dour faced the old woman looked upon her daughter’s son and said, “Those video games are too violent! They’ll make you do bad things. Get up and go outside and play.” The child protested, saying it was too cold outside, but the moment was won by the grandmother. As she looks out the door and…

Although Christianity is presently threatening the personal freedoms that the citizens of the United States enjoy, the threat is not near as terrible as it would be if Christianity actually had power here and were able to void the Constitution. If the various sects of Christianity were to present a united front and end bickering…

Odin and Zeus as well as many other gods have been reduced to fairy tales. Each was believed in at one time in history. They were succeeded, possibly even demoted to myth, by newer gods as they have come along. Reducing gods to myth is a good thing, only thing is, the new gods have…

“Oh, I read my Bible every day. I’ve read it through more than once.” As an atheist how many times have you heard the faithful make this claim? More than once, I imagine. As a moral and law-abiding atheist shouldn’t you ask the claimant if he/she, after reading their Bibles “more than once” clear through,…
