A former 40 year Atheist analyzes Atheism, without resorting to theism, deism, or fantasy. *** If You Don't Value Truth, Then What DO You Value? *** If we say that the sane can be coaxed and persuaded to rationality, and we say that rationality presupposes logic, then what can we say of those who actively reject logic? *** Atheists have an obligation to give reasons in the form of logic and evidence for rejecting Theist theories.

Question of the Day 04.15.11
Why is it called "Free Thought" instead of "Structured Rational Thought"? Perhaps because it really is neither structured nor rational?
Just a thought that occured to me while riding on my tractor. Spring means stuff to do on the farm.

What they think: freethought means free of religious dogma (what you would call ecclesiasticism). Seems reasonable...
What's actually the case: freethought means dogmatic materialism with complete lack of self-awareness. Highly unreasonable...
Message to all "freethinkers": don't be so distracted by religious dogma that the dogma in your own backyard sneaks up behind you.
