I decided to fool around and play peek-a-boo with my camera today…he, he. And no, I’m not blowing my readers a kiss. I snapped on the “boo” in peek-a-boo.
Well, I had an interesting day today. Went to church and almost got C.O.G.I.C. JUST KIDDING! In all honesty, I wanted to see if there was still [...]

Last year was the climax of my awakening from the nightmare of poisonous religious beliefs. One incident that led to my escape was an update on the life of someone who was a committed and strong Christian. Before I get to the point, I should give you some background info. While away at college, [...]

On any given Sunday, you will find a black woman singing the praises of her God. But what we rarely see are black female atheists or agnostics. I have had the pleasure of corresponding with a few black women who boldly proclaim their atheism and I have to admit one thing. Their rational approach to [...]

I have always wanted to facilitate a discussion between atheists and theists. So I have a few questions that I hope readers will answer.
Theists
1. Why do you believe in God?
2. Do you follow a particular religion? Identify it and briefly share the tenants of your faith.
3. Do you believe that your religion is the [...]

Below is a very interesting video by GodIsImaginary about the erroneous belief that anything and everything is a part of God’s plan. The video asserts that God’s plan is impossible and even ridiculous. Well, there is one correct point. If we claim that everything is God’s plan, we are essentially saying that abortion, child molestation, [...]

If you don’t believe me, just take a look at page 90 of his work, Letter to a Christian Nation
He states:
“There is, after all, nothing more natural than rape.”
Of course some will declare that I am taking this out of context. But hey, people would say the same to him regarding bible [...]

I heard the funniest thing as I watched the debate between Al Sharpton and Christopher Hitchens. Sharpton joked that Hitchenshad to be a person of faith in order to believe that WMD’s are in Iraq. It may have been hilarious, but there is a lot of truth within it. I remember attending a debate he [...]

Dinesh D’Souza asks: Why are atheists so angry?
I must admit that I notice a much higher level of anger from atheists than I do most theists. While some atheists have a right to be angry, many others do not (specifically those who were never theists at one point in their lives). So why is [...]

Ayaan Hirsi Ali is truly an extraordinary woman. She went from a young girl in Somalia, to a young woman faced with a forced marriage in Canada, a triumph in the Netherlands, and now a new life in the United States. Ali purged herself of her Islamic roots soon after the horrific events of [...]
