A collection of responses regarding Jerry Falwell’s death from various groups and people is below: American Atheists: While we recognize and respect the grief of friends and relatives, it must be acknowledged in the wake of Rev. Falwell’s death that he and the organizations he founded, especially the so-called Moral Majority, were serious threats to our Constitution and, specifically, the separation of church and state. … We cannot and must not lionize Rev. Jerry Falwell because he is now dead…. Read more

Well, for the 130 Scandic hotels in ten European countries, they’re gone! Why? Because a humanist complained about it. As a resolution, the hotel chain now has a collection of religious/spiritual texts at the front desk. You can pick up any you’d like. It actually gives you more options than before without forcing any one of them upon you. For most people, this is a good decision… But, according to someone whose blog exists entirely to make this one post:… Read more
Jerry Falwell was found unconscious in his office today. He was pronounced dead shortly thereafter. He was one of the first to purposefully mix church and state. He certainly won’t be the last. If anything, let his life be a reminder that we need to oppose those groups that want to force their religion to become everyone’s religion. [tags]atheist, atheism, Jerry Falwell[/tags] Read more
You may have missed out on the last board game, but not this time! Jawbone Productions, a maker of Biblical board games, wants you to buy their new game Inheritance (which judging by the picture below, looks remarkably like Monopoly…). What is this game all about? Inheritance, a board game inspired by God, and based on His promised inheritance to His saints from both the old and New Testament. Players representing disciples from the seven churches of Revelations, trade property,… Read more
Chuck Norris seems to think atheists are trying to outlaw Christianity. Sure we are… After naming most of the major atheist/Humanist groups in the country, Norris says this: Though the U.S. Constitution outlaws religious discrimination, these organizations and individuals would love nothing more than to help society look with distain [sic] upon Christianity and, ultimately, make its components illegal. In fact, right now, they are coalescing and rallying at least 5 million of their troops to mount counter offensives to… Read more
Mike C. had a good idea. Let’s just start a thread where Christians can just put their “proofs of God” in one place. And it’ll give me a link to send to people who want to show me their evidence. Anyone is free to comment or provide rebuttals… [tags]atheist, atheism, Christian, conversion, God, Jesus[/tags] Read more
The Christian Science Monitor article from a few days ago was apparently picked up by Yahoo! news. I went out early last night, went straight to bed when I came home, and woke up this morning to find 9023423409 emails from people who had various things to say. Let’s go through the comments… I can send you proof of God… Do you have a mailing address…? Umm… no. No mailing address. I live on the streets. Since most atheists I… Read more
In college, I’d sometimes get stopped by Christian groups asking if I would want to take a short quiz. Being the trivia nut that I am, I would say yes. They were pretty simple questions from the Bible. Things like: Who gave the Sermon on the Mount? I’d get these questions correct, turn in my form, wait for them to say, “Wow, nice work! Would you like to come to our Bible study?” and then tell them I was an… Read more
