Hello. Im an Atheist, and I wanted to introduce myself. Atheist(noun): A person who disbelieves god(s), or lacks belief in god(s). http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/atheist http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atheism Thats all.

How does one open his heart to a god that is all, knows all, and creates all?
And while you are at it, how does the creator of all create himself? Or, who created him? And why would an omniscient being identify as a gender-male of the species he has created? Why would gender matter at all to a God? Wait, scratch that. Forget about the complicated questions for today, and letContinue reading “How does one open his heart to a god that is all, knows all, and creates all?”
The uplifting story of an Evangelical Christian turned sane.

It is unfortunate that his talentContinue reading “A rebuttal, whether you asked for one or not.”

As regions of California experience heavy drought over the years,Continue reading “Why women should plow fields in the nude”
Atheist rantings pt.1 – my feelings on the holidays and how I came to be an atheist
I would like to write on something that Ive been mulling this holiday season, and for many seasons before it. The main topic is, naturally, my trouble with the holiday season. Secondarily, I describe how I became an atheist. This is less confrontational than much of what I write on atheism, but we have plentyContinue reading “Atheist rantings pt.1 – my feelings on the holidays and how I came to be an atheist”
