The Daily Beast - An Atheist at Conservative Woodstock

I just finished reading most of the Jamila Bey comments (and reignited my extreme disdain for Nick Gotts and Nate Havens along the way). If one is in the mood for litmus tests, I offer this: can you articulate a secular argument against elective abortion (i.e., those that are not needed to save the...

I understand the posters at Pharyngula being so pissed off at the Republican Party.

Interesting position. Is that from the Kama Sutra?

James Caruthers - is this the music you grew up with, or are you a whippersnapper appropriating the music of your elders & betters? I thoroughly enjoyed catching up on some of those.

American Atheists national convention is coming up in early 4/2015. Lanyrd schedule Not surprisingly, David Silverman & Jamila Bey are listed as speakers. Heina Dadabhoy is also listed.

It might have been possible for most of FTB to ignore Bey's talk at CPAC, lord knows there are things others among their group have done that they've tried to ignore & hope noone notices, but once Myers put up a blog post the red carpet was out for his commenters to have their say. Myers tried earl...

We now get to see what wins out: identity (woman, poc) or political views (republican) or tribal affiliation (FTB, but only half a point, since she is new).
