"You guys are awesome! Robert, I would dig your house. I often wonder if I should put my 666 logo back on my phone. I used to have it as an operator logo way back. It did stir up some interesting conversations with religious folk. Diane, I am with…"

"I agree, Davis. I want a date like that! The one meeting I've had so far was awkward and strange. Maybe I should get some gargoyles. I do have a statue of Pan in the front yard, but that hasn't mattered yet. (It…"

Atheist dating, in a superstitious world

This past Sunday was one of the best days I’ve had, I celebrated the fellowship of new friends, shared deep thoughts on food, life and the future of a wonderful atheist community I am privileged to be part of. Over an above that, I had a first date that same evening with an interesting woman I had met on a dating site. This was my first date since my last break up almost 10 months ago (depending who you ask).I was as excited as a little kid buying his first toy.I was late for the date by ten…See More

"When my mother died, it was after a very long illness in the course of which went into a gradual dementia. The dementia was not of the Alzheimer's kind but rather a severe turning inward and being unresponsive, probably due to a combination of…"

"I celebrate their time here on the planet with me. Think about them as they were. Tend not to go to wakes because of that. I don't want to see them all dressed up in a coffin, a pod with no life force in it, a casting; and remember my last…"

"I'm basically a big blubbering mess at funerals, even if I didn't know the deceased. The loss of a loved one is a big deal, and the empathy can overcome me at times. To understand this and how I grieve, you probably have to…"

I’m an Atheist…Relatively!

I started a blogging project to explore what it means to be an Atheist living positively without religion, exploring the values which many people share, irrespective of their religious affiliation. To find common ground to begin a conversation to move us beyond tolerance and towards a life and society of mutual respect.Ambitious? No, this a personal journey that I felt would best be served by exposure and dialogue with as many as…See More

Unseen commented on EMil Wentzel's blog post 'Human Rights...'

"Are Human Rights imaginary? I think they're just common sense, built into our instinct...over ruled by socialisation and a greed for control by 'leaders'. By imaginary I mean they have no existence until someone or something creates…"

EMil Wentzel commented on EMil Wentzel's blog post 'Human Rights...'

"I agree with you, that "rights" fall into the narrow band of categories - legislated or imagined - and too often the legislation strips people of "Human Rights" rather than enforce the respect of them. Depending on the country…"

Human Rights...

Human Rights are not 'god given', if they were, we'd have a terrible time deciding what a human is. As an Atheist it's simple for me - all homo sapiens are human beings. No religion can change this! So, if you're reading this and are indeed of the homo genus, you are human; if you're not -…
