I keep hearing the accommodationist mantra that religion is compatible with science (or vice versa). There have recently been issues regarding a person who happens to be a skeptic, while at the same time being Christian (of the Roman Catholic sect), becoming upset that her religious ideas were openly ridiculed by other skeptics. There have …

No, I’m Not Helping: I’m Enjoying My 1st Amendment Rights
If you read Greg Laden’s Blog, then you’re probably familiar with another blog called You’re Not Helping. [No, I’m not providing a link. Think I’m going to help them? Fuck them.].

Pssst… It’s Okay if You Don’t Really Believe in God
Yes, I know I shouldn’t be giving away secrets like this. Your family members would probably come after me with a mob of villagers carrying torches and pitchforks if they only knew what I was about to divulge.

Unsolicited Insanity
The contact form here on my blog gets rather little use. Most people who have something to say will say it in post comments, or email me directly (providing they have my address).
