I found this terrific story over at ExChristian.net that really struck me. His story is so similar to my own, which I describe in How I Became an Atheist. Read it and watch my video and you will get a sense of how difficult it is to throw off the oppressive beliefs of Christianity or any religion.

In this article EURweb.com is reporting that Disney is being accused by a Christian group of giving preferential treatment to Gays and Lesbians. The premise of these Christians is ridiculous. They are comparing Disney organized/sponsored events with ad-hoc events that Disney has not participation in. If I were a Christian Preacher and I were to say to my flock, "On May 19th 2009 we are going to Disney World would y'all like to join us?" would that put any onus on Disney to accommodate me in any special way? NO.

Evidence That God Does Not Exist -

Here I present an argument using Occam's Razor that God does not exist.

Here is a video about how PZ Myers was Expelled by the film's producers from a screening of the film while his guest, Richard Dawkins, was not. Very funny story.

"Coming Out" as an Atheist -

I use the phrase "Coming Out" because in many ways coming out as an Atheist is very similar to coming out as gay. It really depends on the types of people that make up your family but I am sure there are some people for whom coming out as an atheist would actually be harder then coming out as gay. I seem to remember someone making a joke about telling your parents you are an atheist so that you can say that you were just kidding and that you were just gay.

See this video for the reaction that young ex-Catholic got when he came out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P8Aq00yJSxo

This is the first in a great series of videos about one man's quest to discover who wrote the bible. This examination takes him to many places and ends up with a realization that the bible is not the true word of God. I cannot be. It is the word of men and sometimes petty chauvinistic and devious men, at that.

This is a response to some of the comments I received on my video, "I was a Creationist"
(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AIhf92ki4Us)

In it I discuss the assumptions that I make that support my acceptance of Science and its consensus Theories such as that of Evolution by Natural Selection.

A link to the story I mentioned about the Milky Way being twice as large as we thought: http://www.usyd.edu.au/news/84.html?newsstoryid=2163.

This video is sort of a follow on to the one I made last week about how I became an atheist ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uDpbL9X3iyg ). It discusses one aspect of that transition: How I let go of the myth of Creationism.

I mention the "Institute for Creation Research" ( http://www.icr.org/ ). I do not recommend this site for the weak-minded. It contains dangerously flawed "logical" arguments.

How I Became an Atheist -

This vid describes my transition from a fundamentalist Baptist up bringing to my current Atheistic world view. I hope that those struggling with the same questions might hear my story and take heart that they are not alone and that the logical conclusion that you are struggling against is not as bleak as you may think.

I mention several books here are links:
