Atheist Advent Calendar – Day 5 – Out of Nearly 40,000 Denomination of Christianity You Picked The “Right” One (You Should Try The Lottery Next)

Not sure how accurate the claim of 38,000 denominations of Christianity is but whether you’re talking about 40, 400, 4000 or 40,000 denominations, the point remains the same. (And that doesn’t even take into account other religions, major and minor, over the years.)

Atheist Advent Calendar – Day 3 – “Take The Risk of Thinking For Yourself…”

Christopher Hitchens is one of the patron saints of atheists.  (Er, there’s probably a better way to describe him!) 😉

Atheist Advent Calendar – Day 2 – Music Monday – “I know the Good Book’s good/Because the Good Book says it’s good/I know the Good Book knows it’s good/Because a really good book would”

I suspect Tim Minchin will be making up the content of all my Music Monday posts for Atheist Advent! 😉 “The Good Book” – Tim Minchin

Atheist Advent Calendar – Day 1 – Introduction

In past years, I’ve often done a series of posts during Christmas week about atheism/religion/the Christmas holidays that are (hopefully) educational, humourous, thought-provoking or occasionally maybe even all of the above. Pace opened the first window on his Lego Advent calendar today and that made me think that the concept of Advent “a season observed in many Western Christian churches as […]

Friday Fun Link – If You’re Gonna Get Detention, These Are The Ways To Do It.

  I love these (and am particularly sympathetic to the kid who corrected the teacher about a mile being longer than a kilometre and got in trouble for it!) although, as always with the things you read on the Internet, skepticism is important too.

In Defense of @justintrudeau and #askjustin (sorta kinda)

This won’t be the first time I tried to defend the seemingly indefensible on this blog. So let’s take a deep breath, swallow the bit of throw-up that’s rising in my throat and dive right in… 😉 Social media sites (especially Twitter) exploded over the past 24 hours after an e-vite for a $250/person fundraiser […]

Is This Pace’s First Freedom to Read Experience?

 So this is an interesting one… Pace’s Grade One class has started a daily reading log where they’re assigned some easy readers.  They have to record the titles of the books as they read them. In addition to the assigned reading, they can also record any other books (or chapters of books) they read or […]
