After a hiatus, Open Forum Friday is back! At least for this week.
This Week’s Topic
A friend referred me to an article on Greta Christina’s awesome blog the other day, where she posted a two part topic about the Atheism movement and diversity (Part 1, Part 2).
Although I’m not saying you need to read it for [...]
Resurrection cookies: Sweet, tasty salvation
Read about Resurrection Cookies! A good Christian parent is supposed to make these with their child to teach them about Jesus. Then enter our contest, searching for the recipe for atheist cookies, and win an autographed copy of I Sold My Soul on eBay by Hemant Mehta, the Friendly Atheist!
A group long overdue…
At least that’s the sentiment we’ve heard from many of the new members of IPFW’s new student organization Campus Atheists and Agnostics. Started this semester by Chad (aka FFW blogger Butter) and myself, Campus Atheists and Agnostics seeks to provide a forum where non-believers (and any theists who want to come with an honest desire [...]
Reality show gives points to clerics for converting atheists
Ahh, Turkey. The only country where evolution is less accepted than in the US. Now they have a new show, Penitents Compete, where the producers reportedly “pit a Greek Orthodox priest, a rabbi, an imam and a Buddhist monk against one another in attempt to convert atheists to their respective religions.”
The show’s producers say there [...]

Atheist schizophrenia
For maybe a million years we have toiled.
Long it seems we have waited for our present minds to dawn.
Several billion years go by in the blink of a new-born eye.
Yet, eternity will go by even faster when you’re dead.
Why must purpose be attributed to everything?
And why is life’s apparent purpose always confused with life’s apparent [...]

Are “new” atheists hurting other atheists’ agendas?
An article from the Nashua Telegraph is pitting atheist against atheist. It’s painting “new” atheists as detrimental to the causes (whatever those may be) of other less vocal or moderate atheists. Here’s my response to the article (still awaiting moderation):

Stu-stu-stumbled upon
I stumbled-upon a blog that stumbled-upon freethoughtpedia’s funny theist quotes.
Some of these were too good not to share:
From years of studying environmentalists I have come to the conclusion that they are both religion based and mentally ill. This makes for a dangerous combination. [...]
The mental illness of environmentalism manifests itself is three forms; Paranoid, Delusional [...]
