To recap: Dave Silverman, PZ Myers, and I have decided that the #ChurchTweet trend now belongs to us (#plunder). We are encouraging atheists in church, synagogue, or mosque to tweet their amusements/frustrations and then on Monday I will compile the Best of #ChurchTweet. There were some real gems Sunday. First, let’s see what religious people [...]
From The Vault #2: Science Is Beating Religion Into A Puddle Of Blood
October 24, 2011 By 4 Comments
I wrote this a few years back in response to an article a teacher of mine had sent me back when I was just a wee college atheist troublemaker. An old voice teacher of mine, a brilliant friend named Marvin Murphree, linked me to this article the other day which suggests that science and faith [...]
Campus Organizing Team vs. Dazzle
October 24, 2011 By 1 Comment
The office of August, our Executive Director, is on the floor below the Campus Organizing Team. Sarah and I were sending group-starting packets out this morning, which was something new to both of us. We encountered a problem with Dazzle (our postage software) and so I needed Aug to come upstairs and help.
To The Board!

Every week, the Campus Organizing Team kicks out an email to our student leaders with updates on important news or projects. Sarah and I are writing that email today. Here’s an exclusive look into that process.
Secularism And Eternal Vigilance

Ok, lunch break. Thank FSM for Sarah Moglia, our events specialist, who is the only other occupant of the Campus Organizing Office today. I’m up to my eyeballs in work and she is keeping me sane. I’m going to use a few minutes of my precious break to schedule a few peeks into my day at [...]
From The Vault: Rules Of Engagement
October 24, 2011 By 4 Comments
I didn’t manage to get any posts written up for today, so you get a few posts from the vault. The first one is my rules of engagement for talking religion that I wrote for Atheism Resource around last Christmas. I originally wrote it so I could link religioius people back to it in order [...]
Karaoke Tonight!
October 23, 2011 By 6 Comments
Me and some friends are headed to the karaoke bar tonight. As always, leave requests. If I know them, I’ll do them and put them in the next karaoke vid. Greta has been wanting me to do “I Don’t Know How To Love Him” from Jesus Christ Superstar for a while now. I haven’t done [...]
Godless NFL Thread
October 23, 2011 By 6 Comments
There is a bet on the line this week. Should the Kansas City Chiefs, who have managed to beat two of the leagues other crummy teams after playing dead their first three games and losing by a combined score of 109-27, manage to luck out a win over my beloved Raiders, I must spread a [...]
Existential Crisis And Masturbation
October 23, 2011 By 13 Comments
Ugh, the things that people send me. We’ve all heard Christians exclaim, “I used to be an atheist, but then I saw the light!” Sometimes they’re sincere, most of the time they’re full of it and trying to convert you by implying that, even though they didn’t believe, they found some reason that irrefutable. One [...]
#ChurchTweet Reminder
October 22, 2011 By 1 Comment
Our piratey atheist hordes have laid claim to the #ChurchTweet trend. It essentially belongs to us now, though a few rebels remain. If you are being made to suffer through church/mosque/synagogue, tweet your frustrations/amusing stories. Best of #ChurchTweet gets compiled on Monday.
Life Lessons In Odd Places
October 22, 2011 By 8 Comments
I’m a bleeding heart. It’s no secret that I’ll do pretty much anything for a charitable cause I support – just ask my right calf and scalp. However, I always hate asking people for money like when I’m tabling at conferences for the SSA or when I’m trying to squeeze every last gilded drop out [...]
College Football Thread
October 22, 2011 By 19 Comments
Today Arkansas goes against Ole Miss, which is coached by ex-Arkansas head coach Houston Nutt. As blakeingle pointed out on twitter, this will likely be Nutt’s last season with the Rebels. This saddens me. I’ve never heard a sentence from Nutt that wasn’t classy to the fullest. He was a good coach at Arkansas and [...]
Let's Chat

Huh. I admit, I have no blogs written up for today. I was planning on spending my day adjusting to life with a pitchfork up my ass down in Satan’s barbeque. Seriously, who could’ve predicted that Harold Camping would have been wrong? I mean, aside from everybody. Since I was anticipating non-existence, I’ve kept my [...]
