This ladies and gentlemen is why atheists have to be proselytizing and educating. This is what we’re up against.

The latest work by Sam Harris is now available for pre-order.  The topic and title is “Free Will”.  You may not actually have to choose to purchase this book, as the decision may have already been made by your brain before you realized it.  Are we just along for the ride?  Sam Harris has said that “Anything that Hitchens does is never boring”.  I’d add that anything that Sam Harris does is never boring, and always well considered and thought out.

Feel free to start the discussion before the release.  Do we have “free will”?

One gets the impression that proponents of the “fine-tuned universe” argument didn’t think it through very well. (Some NSFW language).

A very interesting perspective on who god really is.

Because I was constantly being told that I’m rejecting God, and I knew that wasn’t true, I decided to research rejection, which made me aware of its effects. My studies took me in a completely unexpected direction. The epiphany (pun intended) was rather shocking. The evidence indicates that the personal god is a manifestation of the ego, which explains a plethora of theistic tendencies, including their typical dislike of atheists, who theists subconsciously perceive to be rejecting a part of themselves. God is Tyler Durden; and the first rule of Jesus Club is you have to talk about Jesus Club. The second rule of Jesus Club is you have to talk about Jesus Club.
