What are the benefits of Atheism?

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

Serious woo, coming soon to a theatre near you!

So a new 'documentary' is about to be released that 'blows the lid' off the alien cover up conspiracy. It looks like they'll be hitting hard for the free-energy, anti-gravity people. I suggest we…Continue

The modern skeptic needs to be well armed to deal with the array of woo being spewed these days. Biblical criticism is pretty much a solved game but the new-agers can toss out faux-facts faster than…Continue

Christianity Refutes Itself

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…

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

An epistemological review by – Heather Spoonheim
In the case against the existence of gods I would like to submit the Gettier Problem. Essentially the Gettier Problem postulates that even if claimed knowledge turns out to be true, it may not…

Heather Spoonheim replied to Mercedes's discussion 'Why do atheists ask for so much proof to believe in God?'"Well our book only has one sentence - "We don't believe there is some supernatural being setting the rules."

Heather Spoonheim replied to Bo Fowler's discussion 'What is not believing in God like?'"@brookelynn
Except that you have no gods telling you what to do - and you can't even name the god in which you think you believe. No, you have a cult that dictates what you think and believe - a cult that sends devotees like you out…"
Heather Spoonheim commented on Morgan Matthew's blog post 'Bill Nye Boo'd In Texas For Saying The Moon Reflects The Sun'"@Brookelynn - right, and you can work your way through the book changing the meaning of words all over to support your cult doctrines; but it doesn't change the fact that you have been brainwashed by a cult and are now infected with the…"
Heather Spoonheim replied to Matt Giwer's discussion 'Made in Alexandria, the Origin of the Yahweh Cult'"Perhaps I'll talk to you again in ten years when you've matured enough in your deconversion so as to be less prone to such knee jerk reactions. If you want, you can go back and read what I wrote (take a few breaths while you…"
Heather Spoonheim replied to Matt Giwer's discussion 'Made in Alexandria, the Origin of the Yahweh Cult'"To be honest, that is a lot more detailed history than I care to study even if I were to limit myself to what the mainstream scholars have to say on the matter. In the end, I'm not attached to it one way or the other.
As far as I know,…"
Heather Spoonheim replied to Matt Giwer's discussion 'Made in Alexandria, the Origin of the Yahweh Cult'"That's an interesting premise - and a lot of material to work through. I'll certainly keep scanning through it. Just one question though: I've heard several lectures by people well versed in ancient Hebrew and Koine…"

Heather Spoonheim replied to Morgan Matthew's discussion '2nd amendment, right to bear arms. thoughts?'"Ok, how was the longevity of the new government (often dictators) relevant here? The point was that the US military is overthrowing governments and behalf of corporate America. Even if the dictator/new regime doesn't last long - the…"

Kris Feenstra said… A few messages got pulled from the McKenna thread. A thread tangent which serves no other purpose than to insult you doesn't really serve a purpose on top of violating the forum rules. Just letting you know that a couple of your posts also disappeared when the tangent was removed.
