It’s the fourth anniversary of Hug An Atheist Day, so this is just a reminder:

It doesn’t matter what your worldview is, practice a little tolerance. Find your nearest Atheist, Absurdist, Agnostic, Anti-Religionist, Antitheist, Apatheist, Deist, Dystheist, Existentialist, Freethinker, Gropaga, Ignostic, Mahayana, Marxist, Misotheist, Naturalistic Pantheist, Nihilist, Nontheist,…

There is this new tendency to label outspoken atheists as “Militant Atheists.” Here’s why I think it’s wrong.

I wish I could renounce the label Atheist, to begin with. In case you didn’t know, “atheist” is a label given to us by believers. It used to be a derogatory label, a Christian slur against us coined in France in the 16th century as a reaction to growing free thought, skeptical inquiry, and intellectual criticism of religion.

My friends, almost friends, just added friends, and soon-to-be friends:

I have no excuses other than I've been very busy fighting on Twitter and Google Plus - err... discussing important matters, I mean; also, got a book review dateline closing on me, started a new blog and I really don't know what I'm thinking but I might start yet another one, and my life is pretty much overwhelmingly stressful these days, some work-related annoyances and some feeling that time goes by so…

They even go as far as to make up numbers and events, and depict them as if they were facts to feed the children with,  …

“But what if you’re wrong?” So goes the common questions posed to atheists by Christians. Putting aside for a moment the obvious retort (what if they are wrong and another religion is right?)

What would I say if I was wrong, the Christians were right, and a moment after dying I found myself before the blinding majesty of Yahweh with Christ at his right hand?…

I don't like it all that much that they call it "the god particle", but they are referring to the "Higgs boson" which is just the particle that the whole project was aimed to find.
