Several times in my Christian life, I noticed that certain members of the church were very adept at changing the opinion/view of a member of the congregation. In my working career I've occasionally…Continue

Recently, in chat, someone pointed out that there are fewer female than male Atheists. That prompted a comment on sexual differentiation of intelligence. I suggest that most women make the best…Continue

Flies & Freewill

Posted on July 14, 2014 at 11:41pm 89 Comments 1 Like

Yesterday, while seated, I began to reach down for my backpack when a fly landed on my knee. My reach was instantly interrupted as my hand froze beside me just slightly higher than my thigh. All my intention became focussed on swatting that fly, and my hand began to move ever so slowly and evenly towards the fly on my knee, maintaining a perfectly consistent distance above my thigh of about three inches.

As my hand slowly glided forward I realized that…

Christianity Refutes Itself

Posted on December 23, 2012 at 11:00pm 66 Comments 4 Likes

A narrative essay by – Heather Spoonheim

Christianity is an intellectually repugnant worldview. To subscribe to it is to abandon all reason – and that is why it is so difficult to extract from the psyche of those infected by its doctrines. Once one has thoroughly abandoned reason, they are no longer sentient beings in any meaningful sense of the phrase; they become nothing…

Disciples of Change

A narrative essay by – Heather Spoonheim

I often encounter people who find it offensive that I haven’t subscribed to the Climate Change bandwagon. To be frank, that is where the conversation typically ends, because such people rarely have anything more to bring to the discussion than the average theist. The problem that always arises in those situations is the…

Rational Thought - An Atheist Hymn by Heather Spoonheim

(Sung to the tune of Amazing Grace)

Rational Thought, how pow-er-ful

That saved an ape like me

I once was lost but now am found

Was blind, but now I see

T'was Thought that freed my mind from fear

Free Thought, just so relieving

How precious did my own thoughts appear

The hour I stopped… Continue

Christopher Hitchens Day at Anywhere that one might find a glass of Johnnie Walker Black

April 13, 2015 all day

Celebrating and remembering the life of Christopher Hitchens on the date of his birth, April 13th. Let's lift a glass of Johnnie Walker Black, with a splash of Perrier, to the Bard of Atheism. If you smoke, a standard cigarette will do but a fine Cuban Cigar would be a tribute.See More

Heather Spoonheim commented on Heather Spoonheim's event 'Christopher Hitchens Day'

"Thanks for taking notice, guys. It has actually become hard for me to watch his videos on Youtube unless I'm in just the right mood. It just sort of hurts to know I'm hearing the same stuff over and over - and won't get the chance to…"

Heather Spoonheim replied to Unseen's discussion 'Did Charlie Hebdo starting publication again just make things worse rather than better?'

"The latest issue of Charlie Hebdo flew off the stands here, and my local tobacconist has a waiting list (several pages long) of people wanting reprints. Muslim countries not only ban the creation of images of Mohammed, but also ban Atheist…"

Heather Spoonheim replied to IkeArrumba's discussion 'Do Christians read the Bible? Newsweek article says "no".'

"I find that few Christians read the bible. Oh, they may read a lot of verses - but they usually aren't reading the book as a book. Sometimes they just open it up and read some random verse and try to think about how it applies to…"

Heather Spoonheim replied to Haugurma's discussion 'My problem with Evolution'

"Lamarckism isn't as far out as it initially seems. Like Darwin, he lacked the knowledge of the underlying mechanism to his theory. Unlike Darwin, his observations weren't very objective and included much conjecture.…"

Heather Spoonheim replied to Haugurma's discussion 'My problem with Evolution'

At 9:58pm on November 3, 2013, Thomas Blood said…: I don't think I thanked you for adding me as a friend. I am clueless on social media and am still figuring out protocols and out to make this actually work without losing things in virtual hyperspace. Don't think I mentioned this: I have been in the middle of a divorce for the past year, but before the current unpleasantness forced me to suspend operations, I also brewed my own. I hope to resume someday soon. I tend toward the extremes: big malty stouts and IPA's.

At 9:09pm on October 28, 2013, Thomas Blood said…: I always thought of myself as a climate change disciple but after reading your post I discovered that I am a climate change heathen. I am a big fan of Stewart Brand and believe that the only rational answer is nuclear energy. I know that we in the west are too stupid to figure this out but I am confident that the Chinese or Indians will save us. Or maybe the Norwegians - they're working on a thorium MSR. Hope you don't mind me posting on your page but you were a "featured" member, and hell, you brew your own. How could I resist?
