Mallory commented on Darrell Hobbs's blog post 'Indiana State Fair Stage Collapse'"You probably never will. I don't WANT to understand that thought process.
It was a terrible thisng that happened. "
Darrell Hobbs posted a blog postIndiana State Fair Stage Collapse
I am a Hoosier, born and raised. I will say I feel for the victims of the tragic accident at the State Fair Saturday, August 13. What I fail to understand is how everyone, in the aftermath, is being asked to pray for the victims and their families and friends. I would think if anything were to define "Act of God" it would be a sudden and unexpected gust of wind strong enough to destroy a steel framed concert stage.Why is it no one ever blames their God for tragic events but always seeks comfort…See More
Darrell Hobbs commented on Morgan Matthew's blog post 'Bill Nye Boo'd In Texas For Saying The Moon Reflects The Sun'"It's simple to prove that the moon produces no light of it's own. Just watch a lunar eclipse. That, of course, is assuming one knows that the cause of an eclipse."
Darrell Hobbs commented on Mike Baker's blog post 'An Atheist Confronts Death'"Your addendum is fantastic. I hope I can face that possibility with the same strength and conviction of non-belief you did. My thought is, what will my final thought be before they would put me under for a similar operation. I do know I've…"

I don't miss Christianity

Grace Conyers left a comment for Darrell Hobbs"'Allo, Darrell!
I thought I'd send a comment your way since you showed an interest in someone that is rarely online long enough to comment. Plus, your own comments and posts are fascinating.

Darrell Hobbs replied to luvtheheaven's discussion 'Any pro-choicers here? Especially any that followed Angie the Anti-Theist through her abortion drama?'"My comment is more of a side note then an actual comment on Angie's situation (but I support her 100% and applaud her courage for being as open and honest as she was/is). I refuse to call then "pro-life" when in actuality they are…"
Darrell Hobbs replied to Kris Potter's discussion 'America was founded on Christianity?'"Here are some helpful quotes I found in "The Quotable Atheist" by Jack Hubbard.

Morality and Purpose in Life
Posted on May 31, 2010 at 2:31pm 4 Comments 0 Likes
Being my first blog post on TA, I felt I should start with my basic principles for how I live my life. While I am not a militant atheist (I tend to consider myself agnostic leaning toward atheist) I don't hide my views when the topic of conversation leads to the spiritual. I have seen how people of religion wonder how someone who doesn't follow a religion can be good and moral, and how we can see a purpose in our life without a higher power guiding us. Here are my two simple rules for living a… Continue
