The recent cold weather, including snow in May in the northern U.S., may have some thinking that global warming has taken a pause. Maybe climate is changing back. If only that were so. Unfortunately, the heat content of Earth continues to rise unabated, with most of the increase currently going into Read more [...] 
I find it odd that the George W. Bush Presidential Library and Museum is slated to officially open on the tenth anniversary of the "Mission Accomplished" speech. Really. I don't know why the Bush team chose this date. It can't be coincidental. It's not just any old anniversary, it's the tenth anniversary, 
A while ago, a friend of mine said in passing that climate change is my passion. That's true, as far as it goes, but something about it got me thinking. While I am concerned about how we are changing the climate, my real passion is for the truth, and the global warming "controversy" is an example of 
THE CISPA BLACKOUT -- A Message from Your Anon News:
On Monday, April 22, we are asking you to dedicate at least a portion of your day to help us fight CISPA.
What is CISPA, you may ask...
CISPA, or the Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act, is a law that would allow the government to 
A few times friends have asked me, "So, you're an atheist, now?" I responded with what is becoming my standard answer of relative atheism, which I will define for you shortly. First I have to explain what it is about that question that bothered me.
I don't mind people asking me about my beliefs. If 
I've been told that I should just shut up and go away. Well, not in quite such blunt terms, but I have gotten the impression that people sometimes react that way to my well-intentioned words of wisdom. I’m as welcome in a Christian Bible study as a skeptic at a magic show. You know, the one who has 
This is a special way of being afraid
No trick dispels. Religion used to try,
That vast moth-eaten musical brocade
Created to pretend we never die . . .
~ Philip Larkin, Aubade
I used to fear death. No matter that my faith instructed me in the nature of the afterlife, and in my assurance of salvation 
Skeptic: A person inclined to question or doubt all accepted opinions.
A Little History
I have been accused of having a closed mind, because I mentioned that I think astrology is bunk. A closed mind, really? I'm the ultimate skeptic, which is the opposite of being closed-minded. I was raised to 
It has been many years since I was taught how to duck under my school desk at the first sign of a nuclear explosion. I imagined it would be like an enormous camera flash coming into the schoolhouse, etching the silhouette of the windows on the far wall. I wondered how the teacher would escape the falling 
I get tired of friends telling me that slavery isn't necessarily so bad, that it was different in Old Testament times. Is that so? What do you do with this?
When a man strikes his male or female slave with a rod so hard that the slave dies under his hand, he shall be punished. If, however, the slave 
My counseling degree does not qualify me for clinical practice, but my studies did give me some insight on what would characterize good counseling practice. Gay conversion psychotherapy, also known as "reparative therapy" or “sexual reorientation therapy,” qualifies as quackery. The American Psychological 
Full disclosure: I am not a big WWE fan. I learned how to actually wrestle in high school gym class, and what we learned is not what is done in "professional wrestling." If you are not familiar with the genre, South Park (mature content) has a pretty good description of what it is. Personally, I prefer CAFE NEXO
