Two big items of news in my personal life. Which both entail a very public change to my relationship status. After twenty years of marriage Jen and I have decided to get a divorce. Breakups are always painful, but we still love each other and remain friends, and there...Jamila Bey Joins FtB!

Texas votes Nazi. Sam Harris exposes his sexism. Michael Shermer gets investigated. Richard Dawkins vomits all over the internet. I can’t keep up. Alas, I have been doing nonstop traveling and events and work-catchup for weeks. I haven’t even been able to...New Publications & Whatnot
I have one new academic journal publication, one trade publication, and one popular media mention to mention… (1) Richard Carrier, “The Prospect of a Christian Interpolation in Tacitus, Annals 15.44,” Vigiliae Christianae 68 (2014): 264-83 is now in...Victor Stenger: 1935-2014
