American Atheists must rolling in cash. They’re running an ad at the upcoming Super Bowl. Don’t throw your rosaries in the trash yet. There’s nothing new. It’s just the usual jibe at Christians — in this case Catholics. The ad is a pun on the hail Mary pass. It shows a man wearing what looks like a clerical collar, holding a football. The words A Hail Mary only works in football are displayed next to him. Yuck. Yuck. The ad will also... Read more

There are limits, and this reaches one of mine. Pro life groups are evidently boycotting Girl Scout cookies. The reason, so far as I can tell, is that the Girl Scouts have thrown in with Planned Parenthood. I find that disgusting. I’ve already written quite a bit about what I think of sexualizing little girls and pushing dangerous chemical birth control on them. It’s hard to fathom that the Girl Scouts are doing something like this. However, if a little girl... Read more
I haven’t read every single one of the various atheist books by Dawkins, Harris, Dennett, Hitchens, et al. But I’ve read most of them. I’ve also read the historic atheists such as Russell, et al. What amazes me is that anyone takes them seriously. Even when I was deep in my anti-God period, I could see that Russell’s Why I am Not a Christian (which says everything worth saying that is found in any of the other books, by the... Read more

I don’t know that I would go this far, even though I do think that Edward Snowden did the American people a favor by letting us know the extent to which our government was spying on us. It is, however, an indicator of how at least some people in other countries feel about his actions that Edward Snowden, the NSA whistleblower, has been nominated for the Nobel Prize. If it does nothing else, the nomination — which probably has scant... Read more
My mother was sick last night, so I didn’t give a lot of thought and attention to President Obama’s State of the Union Address. I watched part of it by picking up a live stream on my laptop. But other things took my attention after that and I didn’t see the rest. The major take-away I got from what I saw is that our president is a fine orator. President Obama’s speech — at least what I saw — was... Read more
What does it mean when the Holy Father is Man of the Year for both Time Magazine and the nation’s number one gay publication? What, pray tell, is the significance of a pope on the cover of Rolling Stone? Two Things: 1. The Catholic Church is not irrelevant. 2. The Pope is showing us how to evangelize through love. This adulation from the press won’t go on forever, of course. Sooner or later the media will figure out just how... Read more
