Over at Friendly Atheist, Hemant posted this video featuring a dialogue about atheism. The religious participants offer trite arguments concerning atheism’s supposed intolerance. At 1:57, a religious think tank commenter drudges up Stalin, Pol Pot, and Mao as evidence for the purported terror associated with atheism. This exceedingly simplistic and reductionist argument belies the [...]

Why are so few Christians vegetarian?
I meet vegetarians from all walks of life except this one. In my three teenage years in the Church of Christ, I never saw anyone eating vegetarian. (Except by the happenstance that homemade ice cream and desserts usually contain no meat.) Christians claim to care about life (leaving out [...]

“Without God, how can you have objective moral values?”
Many atheists roll their eyes at this. Of course moral values can exist without God. We don’t need God to tell us that rape and murder are wrong.
