As the Atheist Alliance International conference draws closer, I will be interviewing a number of the speakers/presenters for this website and elsewhere. One interview will be conducted with Matthew Chapman. Chapman is the great-great grandson of Charles Darwin. He is the author of Trials of the Monkey, an autobiographical book which discusses how Americans’ views [...]

I recently upgraded this blog to a more recent WordPress edition, and there are some problems I can’t seem to fix… WordPress support forums are not being very helpful. If you can help me, please let me know! Here are the problems: 1) When people post comments, they get a long error message. The post [...]

This came in the mail today: My favorite parts of the enclosed letter: … as a new friend of Answers in Genesis, your perspective is especially important because it’s “fresh!” … Before you came to visit, you no doubt saw what the popular media has been saying about the Creation Museum, and how almost all [...]

Remember when an American artist got in trouble for Chocolate Jesus? People in Britain are much more laid back when it comes to art. Artist Dan Baldwin created a painting called “Fuck Religion” (seen above). Apparently, it’s popular in the town of Brighton: Seventy-five limited edition prints of Fuck Religion were sold – at £400 [...]

Looks like Washington D.C. is the place to go for a hedonistically good time. Time to celebrate Atheistfest! What is Atheistfest?

A group of guys from the alternative Buffalo-based newspaper The Beast decided to have a little fun at the Creation Museum. They created a fake website for “The Special Times” newspaper (which catered to “developmentally disabled people of faith”). This gave them press credentials which in turn gave them special access to Ken Ham. Oh. [...]

Reed had a crazy story about how he lent The God Delusion to his friend and all hell broke loose. It looks like he got the book back. From the friend’s father. But not without some drama: He showed up at my door a few minutes ago and thrust the book into my hands, urging [...]

I just can’t figure out how he does it! The bowling bit is my favorite (Thanks to Anna for the link!)

Last week, there was a front page article in the Chicago Tribune on Camp Quest, the summer camp for non-religious families.
