If you live in or near Cranford, NJ and have a little bit of time to spare, please consider helping American Atheists as they go through their transition period. They could use a couple volunteers to do a little bit of housekeeping (metaphorically and literally). It’s not the most glamorous work, but it would allow the staff and officers to focus on their duties without other distractions. And I’ve met the staff. She’s awesome. If you can help, please let… Read more
Steve Kreuscher from Zion, IL wants to legally change his name to In God We Trust. First name: In God. Last name: We Trust. Kreuscher, a Christian who gave up on organized religion 20 years ago, said the new name would symbolize the story of his life. “I’ve had to trust God through incredibly hard times,” he said. Going through an “extremely painful” divorce, bouts of severe depression, money problems and a life-threatening home invasion, he believes God protected him… Read more

Neil Mammen, a guest blogger at Christian author Frank Turek’s blog, throws out a question to the atheists: Atheist readers, what if you were to suddenly find out tomorrow that the God of the Christian Evangelicals was real? I.e. that He HAD created the world, had created you, the Bible was true, Jesus had died on the cross for your sins etc etc. What would you do? … Anger? Agreement? Kowtowing to this being?

They have finally realized what the rest of us have known for many years: Conservative Christian leaders who believe the word “evangelical” has lost its religious meaning plan to release a starkly self-critical document saying the movement has become too political and has diminished the Gospel through its approach to the culture wars. The statement, called “An Evangelical Manifesto,” condemns Christians on the right and left for using faith to express political views without regard to the truth of the… Read more
Ray Comfort took the time out of his day to tell you this: I hope you atheists and evolutionists realize that we eventually win. Read the last chapter of the Book. That’s it. He doesn’t specifically say which book… So now I’m just confused. Which book is he referring to? And what does it tell us about the future of atheism? And who is the “we” who will eventually win?!

This is too funny. Sean Clarke of the Spiritual Science Research Foundation (whatever “Spiritual Science” means) has written a letter of protest again the new Mike Myers movie “The Love Guru.” Clarke isn’t the only person upset with the movie (many Hindus are calling for protests), but he is quite possibly the craziest. He says the movie denigrates gurus — we are supposed to laugh at them! Blasphemy, he says. Try reading this with a straight face: The trailer released… Read more
