Daily dose of Cranston #2: Jim Forti February 22, 2012 at 6:00 pm  JT Eberhard One by one they came to the podium to implore the banner committee to fight a losing fight paid for by their children’s future. They deserve a rebuttal. Jim Forti deplored the climate of aggression and enmity the pro-appeal crowd had maintained for Jessica Ahlquist. Good for him. Sadly, being nice does not make someone more reasoned, as this video reveals. What a whiner February 22, 2012 at 4:00 pm JT Eberhard Justin Griffith posted a blog the other day that caught my eye. He talks about Rev. Bryan Griem and his recent gripes on atheism in the military. While the military is Justin and Chris Rodda‘s domain, Griem touched on something that compelled me to take him to task.
As ignorant as it is callous. Jon Stewart on Virgina abortion bill February 22, 2012 at 3:00 pm JT Eberhard Once again, Stewart nails the liars. Thanks for doing what CNN, MSNBC, and FAUX News have not, sir. Judge rules against atheist attacked in costume by Muslim February 22, 2012 at 2:02 pm Christina Christina here… So, as the story goes, Ernie Perce of PA participated in a zombie walk on Halloween with The Atheists of Central Pennsylvania dressed as Mohammad. A Muslim man, Talaag Elbayomy did not appreciate this, and attacked him. Police charged Elbayomy with harassment, but the judge threw out the case, letting Elbayomy walk free.
Here’s a video of a news story about it. We did good February 22, 2012 at 2:00 pm JT Eberhard Jessica Ahlquist was on CNN yesterday and, as usual, did the atheist movement proud. Check the video and note that they talk about the Evil Little Thing shirts. The Daily Twitter: Atheist vs Agnostic February 22, 2012 at 1:00 pm Christina Christina here… Not all Twitter exchanges involve me berating bigots for being bigots. Sometimes they go like this:  @comptonOG69 Its where you dont believe in a higher power. Because there is no proof. Athiest is where you "Know" there is no higher power. Reason Rally road trip February 22, 2012 at 12:00 pm JT Eberhard Alliteration in blog titles ftw. On March 21, Michaelyn and I will be road-tripping to Washington DC for the Reason Rally. We plan to make a day out of it and to live blog our adventures. Do you guys know of anything we shouldn’t miss between Columbus and DC? Anybody wanna meet up for lunch/dinner along the way? We also plan to hit the Smithsonian on the 22nd along with Christina, her hubby Chris, and also with Adam and Amanda Brown of Atheism Resource and We Are Atheism fame. Triple atheist date! Science requires a Christian world view February 22, 2012 at 10:00 am JT Eberhard In years of blogging I’m not sure I’ve ever come across something this dumb. Justin Holcomb, a member of the Mars Hill pastoral team led by Mark Driscoll (you know, the one who says masturbation makes you gay), has posted a bit explaining why science requires the Christian world view. Not joking.
Yeah, it’s that inane. This is the kind of thing that would make Richard Carrier double over in agony. I think I’ll email it to him as a practical joke. Chip in for Cranston February 22, 2012 at 3:00 am doctorburger DrB here.
Note exhibit 1: The faithful of Cranston.
I do not doubt for a single minute the Christians of Cranston felt deep conviction that the school banner needed to stay up. They showed up at meetings, they have some pretty sweet signs hanging there, and took time out of their schedule to send violent death threats to a high school student, all while basking in the warm glowing embrace of their Lord. The Daily Twitter: Atheists are Satanists February 21, 2012 at 6:55 pm Christina Christina here… I think we are going to start a new feature of this blog: The Daily Twitter. Hopefully TDT will actually occur daily, but… no guarantees. Why would we do this, you might ask? Mostly because Twitter is aflutter with very interesting characters. About half of my Twitter interactions look like this:
