I am also a member of Atheists-in-action (a French site). I got an email from them yesterday.

Confronted with death threats (unfortunately, like many other free thinkers… including ourselves), Kacem El Ghazali has let us know that he wanted to resign from his activity as a delegate for the organization.…

The Silliness of Religion

I was doing some reading and came across George “Goofy” Bush’s statement that, “God wanted me to be President….”

And all this time I thought it was a frivolous lawsuit filed with the U.S. Supreme…

Christians like to throw around a concept that I would like to reexamine today: absolute morality. These thoughts are my own, but this is probably something that has been addressed many times by more competent freethinkers than myself. At any rate....

Please, if you haven't already, take a gander at www.proofthatgodexists.org. The main topic of this little exercise is absolute morality. It's hard to get around the point that…
