April 26th, 2010 Daniel Fincke Earlier, I quoted some of Greg Mayer’s ruminations with some students on whether or not alien forms of intelligent life would even recognize us as intelligent life. In reply, on Facebook, John suggested Neil DeGrasse Tyson’s argument on the matter is decisive: Your Thoughts?
Would Aliens Realize We Were Intelligent?
April 26th, 2010 Daniel Fincke Greg Mayer, as part of a charming larger piece, relates a back and forth he had with some students a few days ago on whether or to what extent we and alien intelligent life forms would be able to identify each other as intelligent life forms: I mentioned to the students that I’d seen a great [...]

The Machiavellian Politics Of Immigration Reform
April 26th, 2010 Daniel Fincke This speculation as to the Democrats’ game plan for working on immigration reform while simultaneously having some of them campaign against it indicates a really intriguing (and partially disingenuous, demagogic, and race-baiting) strategy: The Democrats reason that, the politics of immigration being what they are, getting an actual bill through Congress by November is not likely. (Graham understands [...]
The Holy Ghost Hokey Pokey
April 26th, 2010 Daniel Fincke When I first heard of this, I thought it would go under the heading of “daily hilarity”, but while it is funny in theory, it’s actually sad to watch wounded people—literally physically wounded people—make such utter fools of themselves at the hands of exploitative charlatan “faith healers”: The video’s poster, more sympathetic to Christianity than [...]

April 26th, 2010 Daniel Fincke NonStampCollector provides a hilariously fun, rapid-paced, guide to biblical contradictions through a cartoon quiz show. This video is, in short, a great resource which every Christian should take to heart and every atheist should memorize and have available for making the case against biblical credibility as in any way divinely guaranteed: Here’s a handy list [...]

April 26th, 2010 Daniel Fincke First it was malicious misogynists attacking Afghani school-going girls with acid in their faces, now it appears they’re being poisoned: Local doctors suggested the Taliban may be the perpetrators of possible poison attacks. At least 88 girls and teachers became ill in separate cases at three girls’ schools. The cause of the illnesses was not known, [...]

April 25th, 2010 Daniel Fincke A brave atheist friend born, raised, and still living in Morroco, who has himself received death threats from his local mosque, wants me to pass this on: There are two ways to deal with the ugly teachings espoused by Mohammed: (1) Gloss over Mohammed’s violent, authoritarian, anti-progressive, and intolerant views and try to persuade Muslims [...]

April 25th, 2010 Daniel Fincke As good as Obama is in his abstract thinking about the value of the separation of church and state, I loathe having to watch him pander to religious power brokers like Jeremiah Wright, Rick Warren, and, now, as president after president before him has, Billy Graham. Here’s Christopher Hitchens on Billy Graham: Your Thoughts?

April 25th, 2010 Daniel Fincke On the media: For years I’ve heard liberals say the media is too conservative, and the conservatives say the media is too liberal. I’ve always thought some parts of the media were like that kid on the playground that said “Psst! Did you hear what so and so said about your mom?” Controversy sells and [...]
Obama’s Rawlsian Defense Of Separation Of Church And State
April 25th, 2010 Daniel Fincke This video of a speech Obama made during his presidential campaign which is making the rounds among my atheist Facebook friends today: When the speech was made I commented on James Dobson’s faulty reaction to Obama. As I implied in that post, in the part not addressing Dobson, I think this speech is a spectacular [...]

Tim Wise On “The Pathology Of White Privilege”
April 24th, 2010 Daniel Fincke Earlier today I posted excerpts from a really insightful essay by Tim Wise talking about the differences in perception that people would have were the tea party protesters black, rather than white.

Frank Schaeffer Reminisces About Growing Up With Fundamentalist Parents
April 24th, 2010 Daniel Fincke It always bothers me when non-believing apologists for religion, those whom Jerry Coyne dubs “faitheists”, who have what Daniel Dennett characterizes as “belief in belief” claim that religion is either minimally harmless or outright beneficial for the faithful and therefore we should make no efforts to dissuade them of their errors. The reason I get [...]
