Epicurus vs. Mohammed: In Spanish!
I’ve debunked the Muslim claim that the Koran is miraculously predictive of modern science multiple times, from Cosmology and the Koran to The Koran Predicted the Speed of Light? Not Really . . . all the way to Predicting Modern Science: Epicurus vs. Mohammed,...Hitler’s Table Talk: An Update
New developments have been inspired by my exposing certain Hitler quotes as bogus! It all started with a $50 research job for the Freedom from Religion Foundation at Dan Barker’s behest. Dan asked me to check the original German of three Hitler quotes Christians...Bart Ehrman Just Can’t Do Truth or Logic
Bart Ehrman was again asked what evidence there is that Jesus existed this February 18, 2016, at Fresno City College. See the video here (he begins his answer at timestamp 23:18). First he says this: I don’t think there is any doubt that Jesus existed. There are a...All Kinds of Awesome Is Happening!
We are growing and multiplying! We have split into two blog networks with a common cause. And both are adding many new bloggers. The new independent network The Orbit will focus even more on feminism and social justice (as well as activism). Though we will still do a...There’s No Time to Explain
My brother in law, Brian Parra, has launched a groovy new podcast, There’s No Time to Explain. And I was his first interview subject (episode 1). It’s an example of my favorite kind of podcast, where we both chat about all kinds of things that mostly...The Never Sinking Ship: How Thunderf00t Sucks at Science (or Else He’s a Liar; Probably He’s Just a Liar)
Revised. Something really funny happened yesterday. And then something funny happened today. Thunderf00t tried to lie, and got caught. And embarrassed, he threw out a bunch of insults and blather, and ran away. The event was amusing. It was so easy to catch him out....For My Birthday: Seeking Patrons & Twitter Followers!
Today is my birthday. And I am officially launching my Patreon support page. Please take a gander, and consider becoming a patron, even at just a dollar per. I would love to have more financial security and a better sense that what I’m doing is valued and...Might Stellar War Be a Good Christmas Gift? (Hint Hint)
Oh, sorry, “Holiday Gift.” For those atheists who abhor the Christ in Christmas. Although we know everything distinctive of Christmas is pagan. And paganism is fun. So most of us atheists happily celebrate the pagan holiday under its now familiar moniker....Dinner for Patronage? Help Me Out at Skepticon This November!
Last chance for fans & supporters! Want to secure a dinner conversation with me? Here’s how. Not only will I be at Skepticon this November 13th-15th (not to speak but just for fun!), but I’m helping Bo Bennett & Kile Jones launch their Secular...Sigh. Now I'm on Twitter.
Yup. I avoided it like the plague. I’ll still avoid it like the flu. But as Jubal Early said…Well. Here I am.Looking for a Literary Agent
Anyone with connections, please do inquire: I want to produce a mass market book summarizing the conclusions and findings of On the Historicity of Jesus, with a major publisher, one that works often with expanding into foreign language markets. I have been asked by...Catching Up 3: John Loftus on Jeff Lowder & Being a Philosopher
I’ve been too busy to blog about all the things I wanted to this month. From the Black Lives Matter protest to the Ophelia Benson departure to a weird John Loftus flameout currently going on. So here I’m quickly trying to catch up. Last on deck: the Loftus...Catching Up 2: Ophelia Benson & Advocating Trans Person Rights
I’ve been too busy to blog about all the things I wanted to this month. From the Black Lives Matter protest to the Ophelia Benson departure to a weird John Loftus flameout currently going on. So here I’m quickly trying to catch up. Second on deck: the...Looking for Place to Stay in Georgia and Pennsylvania
Anyone who wants to host me, with bed or couch, for a night or two this September, please let me know! Here’s the skinny… Georgia: I’ll be speaking at DragonCon in Atlanta this year (I’ll be there from the 3rd of September through the 7th), and...Christians Freaking Out Over Freedom: Polyamory Edition
So when I came out as polyamorous in February, the godless Slymepit blew a gasket. But so did Christians. Their freakout was quaint. And hardly substantive. So I just filed it as something to amuse over when I had time. Now as I sit for hours in the Raleigh-Durham...Get Dr. Carrier’s Latest!
