This Saturday I’ll be hosting an all-day gamethon to benefit Foundation Beyond Belief’s support of the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. I’ll be getting things underway at 9am EST and will spend the day either streaming myself or popping into another gamer’s stream. We have some big names lined up which I’ll slowly leak over the coming week. 😀 The first: uber philanthropist Todd Stiefel has volunteered to drop in for some gaming time. Todd has hinted to me that he... Read more
Here be my talk from Skepticon 6 about the unsung heroes of the atheist movement. Read more

Hey all. I’ve spent the last couple days driving around Kansas to spend the holidays with Michaelyn’s parents. I’m such a good future son-in-law. Seriously, fifty points for Ravenclaw courtesy of me. Seriously though, I love Michaelyn’s family (a luxury not every person gets with their engagement), so I’m having a great deal of fun. I just wanted to pop in to say I hope you’re all having a fun Thanksgiving holiday. I’ve had to do some work during mine:... Read more
Everest Wilhelmsen is a TRUE AMERICAN PATRIOT. I’ll bet he loves apple pie and everything, and I’ll bet he hates our racial minority of a President as much as he hates the thought of background checks for firearm sales. He’s a man who is on to the real truth about our commander-in-chief and he lets the world know through various social media outlets which “frequently compare to Obama to Hitler and warn against impending genocide, particularly against Christians and conservatives.” ...

Timothy Dolan, who was a candidate to become pope this last time around, is a big of…well…a terrible person. For one, he shuffled child-raping priests off to new locations. Anyway, some priests in his charge raped a bunch of kids back in the day and won a lawsuit against the diocese. So Dolan moved $50 million into a cemetery maintenance fund (must be one hell of a cemetery) to keep it away from the victims when the diocese declared bankruptcy.... Read more
Here’s something weird, but kind of unsurprising. The NSA monitored various Muslim radicals use of online pornography because it would give the US potential blackmail material. The National Security Agency has been gathering records of online sexual activity and evidence of visits to pornographic websites as part of a proposed plan to harm the reputations of those whom the agency believes are radicalizing others through incendiary speeches, according to a top-secret NSA document. The document, provided by NSA whistleblower Edward... Read more
So, here’s the lowdown: Colorado school board member Katherine Svenson said that transgender students would have to be castrated before using school bathrooms that fit their gender identity, KREX-TVreports. Said Svenson: “I would like to pass out something that shows people what is going on in the rest of the country. Massachusetts and California have passed laws relating to calling a student, irrespective of his biological gender, letting him perform as the gender he thinks he is, or she is. I... Read more
Sorry about the title. I agreed when I came on with Patheos to put no swear words in the titles of posts so that the easily offended may not be put off when they see the titles in their Patheos reader. Anyway, all atheists should know how to knock a baby into submission before consumption. This handy video will tell you how to do just that: Read more
Vatican radio reports on one of the pope’s homilies from a few weeks ago. In it, the pope has some real warnings about curiosity. In the Gospel, the Pope underlined, “we find ourselves before another spirit, contrary to the wisdom of God: the spirit of curiosity”. “And when we want to be the masters of the projects of God, of the future, of things, to know everything, to have everything in hand… the Pharisees asked Jesus, ‘When will the Kingdom...
