Secular Sunday – What Evangelical Leaders Told Their Congregations About COVID-19

Of course my hope is that as many people as possible come out of this pandemic unharmed as possible. But I can’t help but note the rich irony that the virus is most likely to affect people who least believe in science, non-religious authorities, and who are the most susceptible to misinformation and false narratives. […]

Secular Sunday – I’d Prefer A Sprinkle of Success in the Red Zone

As an atheist, I always chuckle at athletes who inject their religion into the game or somehow seem to believe that god is helping them win or have success or whatever. I have no idea how much the Riders’ new quarterback, Cody Fajardo, thinks god’s helping him have success but given his “sprinkle of Jesus” […]

Secular Sunday – Atheist Summer Camp

As summer comes to an end, I thought this video was appropriate for a Secular Sunday post (and yes, it’s a Christian making fun of atheists for a change!) The gist of the guy’s bit is what kids would learn at an Atheist Summer Camp and the irony is that Shea and I frequently lament […]

Why Is Easter A Moving Target?

There’s an explanation why the date of Easter moves around but yeah, if it’s supposed to commemorate the day Jesus was resurrected, you’d think that would be not a lot of room for debate. Anyhow, I’ll put myself in the camp of people who prefer it in late April instead of March. Hoppy Easter!

Secular Sunday – What Happens To Your Brain When You Quit Believing in God?

Very similar to the process of quitting cocaine or meth or ending a love affair apparently. (via Reddit)

Throwback Thursday – A Different Kind of Church (April 2007)

In my first librarian job, my boss and I had the opportunity to oversee the move of a crowded small town library into a soon-to-be-vacated nearby church. This photo was during our first visit to the church to see if it would be a workable space once all the pews and other church holdings were […]

Secular Sunday – Happy Blasphemy Day!

Apparently it’s International Blasphemy Day. Borrowed from an atheist I know on Facebook, here’s some self-criticism of some of atheism’s “untouchables” which I (mostly) agree with… In honour of International Blasphemy Day: Christopher Hitchens was an over-rated warmonger. Sam Harris frequently comes to conclusions first and then tries forcing the evidence to fit those conclusions. […]
