Why the government should not say your god is true

I called in to a national radio talk show. The host is a Jewish conservative but a supporter of the government promoting religion (or at least theism) by keeping the mentioning of a god in the Pledge of Allegiance, on our currency, among other things. I stated, as I have...

Vote humanist values and support Tammy Baldwin

I opened my newspaper yesterday and saw the anti-semitic bigot Billy Graham telling me to "vote biblical values." Good idea. We do need to vote the bible, especially passages such as (Deuteronomy 22:28-29 NLT): "If a man is caught in the act of raping a young woman who is...

Humanist Kurt dies and Republican hypocrisy on abortion

Paul Kurtz, who has been called the father of secular humanism, died this Sunday. He helped jumpstart the modern humanist movement. A movement that I can proudly say I am a part. A movement that works to ensure that society and public policy is reason based, and not...

Albert Einstein, one of the great humanists of our times

Albert Einstein was one of the greatest humanists of our times. He became famed for his revealing of how much of our universe works, through the theories of General and Special Relativity. But he used this fame to support and further humanist ideas. He opposed the...

Silly absolutes in the bible

Did you know almost 50% of Americans believe that lung cancer is caused by little elves tearing holes in lungs, and not things like smoking? Well, the politicans elected by the tobacco lobby might like people to believe that. Did you know that 50% of Americans believe...

How atheists are forced to attend chapel in the military

When I was in military basic training, I was not forced to go to chapel. I though was required to clean the barracks with the other "heathens" while those who went to chapel didn't. Of course they had a right to go to chapel, but they should have been required to help clean...

Atheists and President Obama both blamed for recent shootings

Televangelist and crazy person, Pat Robertson is blaming the shooting at the Sikh Temple, earlier this month in Oak Creek, on atheists. The shooter, Wade Michael Page, was a neo-nazi and singer in a hate metal band. There is no evidence that he was an atheist. I must note...

Republican senator calling for Muslims to be kicked out of army

If there is one thing you can count on, it is that Christian fundamentalists (which make up a sizable percentage of the Republican party) hate Muslims. Maybe more so than they hate atheists or gays or immigrants or Wiccans or feminists or union leaders. Now, I'm no great...

The movie Paul, a pro-athiest theme to it?

I was watching the movie Paul, and I have to say, it definately had a very pro-atheist/humanist/reason perspective. Good. Rarely is there a movie or show that without hestitation or apology states that religion is not true. In particular, the movie strongly condemns...

Christian right-wingers trying to impose religion on your kids

There are a few different versions of the 10 Commandments, but there is one that most Americans, be they Christians or not, are familiar. It is the one that tells listeners to have no other gods, honor the sabbath, not use that god's name in vain, or make graven images. While...

Why does the Christian rightwing need government endorsement?

William Murray is the son of Madalyn Murray O'Hair. The woman who supposedly forced religion out of public schools. Maybe the most hated person by the Christian right-wing, even two decades after her death. Actually, like most things, it was not quite that simple.Her lawsuit...
