Henry Ruddle commented on Jacob's blog post 'My path to atheism. Why I joined Think Atheist.'"There are a lot more nonbelievers out there than it seems, Jacob. You are in good company. It's easy to go along with the crowd, and takes real courage to question what everyone else accepts as obviously true. Remember, the burden of proof is…"
Jacob commented on Nix Manes's blog post 'Patron Saints I Never Knew'"None of these saints can measure up to the best saint ever!
William of Fenoli was a monk who was traveling down a road on a mule when he was attacked by robbers. William defended himself (I did not make this up) by ripping the mules leg off and…"

Matthew commented on Jacob's blog post 'Atheist Discrimination'"I live in Wisconsin and I read "The God Delusion"! However, I see the dilemma with your parents. Perhaps you could just read it in your bedroom and hide it? I actually got the audiobook and listened to it in the car and on my mp3 player.…"
CJoe commented on Jacob's blog post 'Atheist Discrimination'"Just keep asking them questions...
Them: You're just an asshole atheist!
You: How am I an asshole?
Them: You're atheist!
You: But what have I done?
Them: You sin!
You: And you haven't?
Them: Well, yes, but... I ask for…"
Reggie commented on Jacob's blog post 'Atheist Discrimination'"I work with them on the school newspaper, their the editors and I wouldn't categorize them as a friend, guess that should have been clearer.
Ah, I see.

Reggie commented on Jacob's blog post 'Atheist Discrimination'"Please remind me just why are you stuck with these people everyday? Also, why do you refer to people as friends who call you names and try to bully you?"

Christian friend and his friend who is essentially his twin. These two
