I find that living in the “Bible” belt means I frequently have to defend my lifestyle, or beliefs.  I know I really should move, I just love it a lot here.  Its too bad that folks can’t be more open minded.  Most of the defenses I tend to have to wade through are due to problems with the lines of thinking taught around here.  Most college professors would define these as Logical Fallacies.     We use...

    Well I love this site.  The Friendly Atheist.Its chock-full-o goodies for those with an open mind.  If you have an open mind please check it out.  If you are easily offended and believe that everyone should live, breath and feel the same without the freedom to think outside the group mentality then you may want to shay away.  This article in particular made me laugh out loud.  I had no idea why muslims get upset when folks draw...

Atheism scares a lot of people. It is human nature to fear the unfamiliar and anything you do not completely understand.  I find that the definition of atheism is almost universally misunderstood by everyone that is not actually an atheist.
