"I have no problem with the idea of more advanced beings with "god-like powers" greater than our own that may have even had something to do with our evolution. I don't "believe" in them, but I can conceive of their existence.…"

Chris posted a blog postRay Comfort is "PROBABLY" Delusional
In his blog today, "When Did Life Appear" , the Spiritual Mac and Cheese master continued his assault on non-believers with his take on science’s use of the word “probably” in reference to evolution and when life began on Earth. He seems to take issue with scientist’s use of such an indefinite word and “probably” thinks they should be as positive about everything as he is about “God”. Ray gives…See More

Ray Comfort gives his take on evolution
"For Michael, you're using one of Ray's own nonsense arguments when you claim that evolution could occur but "not with the beauty and elogence [sic] of that which is apparent in nature". As the old saying goes, beauty is in…"
Chris replied to Seth Jon Nonnemaker's discussion 'Where do they get off?'"I've taken to doing things such as speaking the pledge of allegiance as loudly as I can without screaming it, then being silent during the "under God" bit so that my overly loud voice is obviously missed during the offensive phrase,…"
Chris replied to Robert Karp's discussion 'Picking and choosing the right fight - Uproar Over "7 in Heaven Way"'"If the fallen firefighters and their families believe(d) in the fairy tales, who the hell are we to say the street can't be named that? Honestly, it's not "God's Merciful Judgement on the Fallen Heroes…"
Robert E. O'Dell commented on Chris's blog post 'The Eye of God is watching you!'"That's quite a twister! Is God circumcised? I'm sure that we can find the rest of him if we look hard enough."
Joann Brady commented on Chris's blog post 'On Loss and Belief in an Afterlife'"Actually, I have been informed that the Catholic Church no longer teaches that suicide is a "mortal sin". In other words you no longer go to hell for committing suicide..........I don't know if they made it retroactive though, and let…"
Chris commented on Chris's blog post 'The Reason'"I love that bit, Henry! Wish he had more going on. I've not seen anything beyond season 2."
Henry Ruddle commented on Chris's blog post 'The Reason'"I wish I could remember which famous atheist speaker it is, but one of them is fond of trotting out a few newspaper clippings of people thanking god, both when good things happen and when bad things happen. There's also a great bit in Mr Deity…"
Chris commented on Corey Lord's blog post 'The Pledge and Our Money'"I took the Facebook poll, too. It's funny how they want to go "back to our nation's Christian heritage", but when you point out the fact that none of the Christian references they point to now were around in the beginning, they…"
Chris commented on Dan's blog post 'Married pastor faked kidnapping to visit girlfriend'"Aww come on. HE didn't file the report, his WIFE did! Hahaha!"
Chris commented on Dan's blog post 'Fla. students' shirts: 'Islam is of the Devil''"Bigotry isn't the word I'm looking for...anyone else know what it should be?"
Chris commented on Dan's blog post 'Fla. students' shirts: 'Islam is of the Devil''"I'm always struck by the blatant bigotry displayed by these churches. It's all well and good for them to slam another religion or social group as "evil", but be assured that the second an atheist student came to school wearing…"
Chris commented on Chris's blog post 'The Reason'"No worries, Reggie. I'll be sure to have exclusive ThinkAtheist content! ;)
And BTW, yes, I am starting a blog. It's called Discussing God and will be co-written by a Christian friend of mine. We're going to try (crossed fingers) to…"

- About Me:
- I'm an ex-Christian and love life more now than I ever did before. I'm fascinated with the human mind and have returned to school to study Psychology. Eventually I'd like to get into NeuroPsych and work on discovering exactly how our brains work and why we seem to be the only ones on this planet with "sentience".

- Why are you here?
- I'm here to find like-minded people to talk with. I'm also here to keep my writing skills toned. Seems like a good place to keep an anti-religious blog. :)
- The religion you left
- Christian
- Why you left your religion.
- I left the Christian religion because I could no longer reconcile the dissonance between what the Bible says and what actually is. I tried to believe that the Bible was intended to be allegorical, but then have you actually read it? There are some pretty terrible tales in there and what possible lesson do they teach other than that "God" is one sadistic son of...himself?

The Reason

A recent post by Think Atheist member Aline Carriere titled “Have You Been Saved?” caught my attention while flying over Tulsa, Oklahoma. (That’s right, Delta has Internet on cross country flights now! I’m so happy!) I didn’t agree with everything Aline had to say, but that’s alright. We atheists are allowed to disagree without having to form new “denominations”. Her post tells a story about an… Continue
On Loss and Belief in an Afterlife
Posted on August 8, 2009 at 3:15pm 4 Comments 0 Likes
I recently lost a relative, a cousin. I barely knew her, but we had been in the process of reconnecting after nearly 25 years. The circumstances of her life and sudden death are what make it especially poignant to me and are what made me decide to write about it.
First, she was young, only 31. She had a sister only one year older than her and they were very close despite the physical distance of living across the country from each other. They texted each other constantly and had… Continue

Ranking Member’s Senate Minority Report on Global Warming Not Credible, says CFI
Posted on July 29, 2009 at 12:11pm 5 Comments 0 Likes
I used to argue with a group of right wing radical religious fundamentalists about this very issue. They swore up and down that man was "incapable" of affecting the earth's climate through our industries' pollution. They would repeatedly cite cases of areas having the "coldest winter on record" as "evidence" that global warming was a hoax and just a way for "leftists" to make money. I pointed out the actual evidence of the historical temperature records since the industrial revolution showing… Continue
