That’s what the argument boils down to for the American Family Association (AFA). On April 25th, students across the country (who choose to participate) will take part in the Day of Silence — where they will “observe the day in silence to echo the silence LGBT and ally students face every day.” The AFA will have none of that: The American Family Association (AFA), along with other family-oriented groups, is urging parents to keep their kids home from school that… Read more

… but we could possibly make a push to have atheist high-school or college students run for class president or student government president next year. If you’re a student, let us know if you’re running this Spring. If you need support or advice, or you’re an atheist already in that role, please let us know that as well!

But if people will believe lies, why not at least spread some less harmful ones…? It would… Read more

The transcribed letter (with slight grammar fixes) is below. Take note of the… Read more
Ray Comfort requests your responses: As briefly as you can, give me your best reasons why you think that God doesn’t exist, or why the Bible isn’t His Word. The proposition itself is futile and sheds light on how illogical Ray’s mind is (shocking, I know). You can’t prove a negative, and the onus is on him to prove why he thinks God exists and why the Bible is his word. But if you want to have some fun and… Read more
