I used this video to help illustrate a point over a year ago. Back then we did not have the capabilities to actually embed the video. Oh, and we had almost no readers either. But now that we are at a new host that lets us embed whatever we want, it’s been finally added to [...]

Tinfoiler interprets current events for her son: Blessed Bristol Palin is back in the news discussing her wonderful love child.  When my son Hunter asked me why it was okay for Bristol Palin to have a baby before she was married, I told him that God has special rules for special people.  God knew that Bristol [...]

Sympathy For The Hate-Mailers

June 30, 2010 By Leave a Comment

Barrett Brown, the director of communications for the godless lobby “Enlighten The Vote” and a contributor to skeptic magazines, explains why he deserves all the mean e-mails he gets: In my defense, though, I didn’t choose to be either an atheist or a skeptic; rather, these were simply mindsets I came to adopt around the [...]

Alright, I Promised No More “You’re Not Helping” Posts BUT

June 30, 2010 By 5 Comments

William has posted a real apology: I never meant for the blog to originally be a smear campaign against any group of people or individuals. Where I went wrong – and where the blog went wrong – was in letting my emotions get the best of me, not thinking clearly (actually not thinking at all), [...]

June 30, 2010 By 7 Comments

Here’s his brief announcement of this terrible news: I have been advised by my physician that I must undergo a course of chemotherapy on my esophagus. This advice seems persuasive to me.

Anatomy Of A Non-Apology

June 30, 2010 By 2 Comments

George is an old friend here at Camels With Hammers, a poster whose extremely perceptive comments (both emotionally and intellectually) inspired me to write many of my favorite posts (more than I can remember offhand, but most memorably including Character As Fate And Environment As Variability, On The Meaning Of Meaning, The Complicated Relationship Of An Apostate To [...]

Judge This: The Pancake Mix Rebuttal To Street Evangelism

June 30, 2010 By 2 Comments

This looks quite effective: If you consider it too antagonistic or too mocking, I’m interested in your views about my standards for fairly mocking religious beliefs, which I discuss in the posts, In Defense Of Mocking And Embarrassing Religion and My Thoughts On Blasphemy Day.  If you accept my standards but still disagree, why do you think [...]

Disambiguating Faith: Not All Beliefs Held Without Certainty Are Faith Beliefs

June 30, 2010 By 7 Comments

David Crowther raises a crucial point of contention: What I really want to do, is get back to the question of whether atheism is necessarily a “faith position”.

Beyond Agnosticism: More Details About How I Know Various Kinds Of Gods Do Not Exist, Based On Scientific And Philosophical Reasons

June 30, 2010 By 6 Comments

While I agree with, and vigorously defend, the notion that there is an important difference between lacking a belief in gods (as an agnostic atheist) and believing there are no gods (as a gnostic atheist), I also think that atheists should not, based on the best available scientific evidence and philosophical arguments, merely lack belief [...]
