Haven’t posted much lately, so I figured I’d dive back into the deep end of silly. I didn’t attend Women in Secularism this year, nor did I attend it last year. It costs a fair bit for travel, lodging etc… so I really need a good reason to attend a … Continue reading
Pope Jr. pontificates about the evils of money
But is anyone listening? I have to say, I don’t actually disagree with his call for reforms… Pope Francis issued a strong call for world financial reform on Thursday, condemning a heartless “dictatorship of the economy” and saying the economic crisis had made life worse for millions in rich and … Continue reading
Office of atheist freedom
CFI is working to make sure Canada’s foreign policy protects atheists and skeptics around the world. And you can help too!
Anti-vaxx at SFU
While I’m generally pro-capitalism, and making money, public institutions have a responsibility that goes along with maintaining their reputations. I’m glad the FHS is standing up on this issue.

My rights… under the law

Michael Shermer is…
There is a trouble abrewing on the libertarian front. Or… maybe not trouble per se, maybe it’s just a guy thing. Seems only yesterday it was Sam Harris profiling his guns. Or something. Ok, so here goes. First Ophelia got upset with Michael. I can sympathize. Even if he was … Continue reading
I get mail
No, I’m not some hipster blogger whose going to complain about the hate email I get from crazy people. I actually got mail, in my mailbox. The real deal. To be fair, it wasn’t addressed to me, directly, but I feel it was destined for me to read. Most of … Continue reading
Atheism doesn’t equal critical thinking
