So I saw a video on YouTube this morning from the most recent Atheist Experience episode and it just illustrates the point that I’ve made before. Just because you’re non-religious, that doesn’t make you automatically rational.
As long as we’re on a roll, let’s just go for it. So I just got back from Stater Bros. to pick up a couple of things that we forgot over the weekend. As anyone who has read the blog for a while knows, I’m not that impressed by Stater Bros., they were profiteering off of the pandemic and frankly, their employees are generally assholes. However, I’m really starting to wonder why the hell we even have baggers anymore? What exactly do they do? Continue reading What’s the Point of Baggers?→
I came across this yet again on the latest episode of Truth Wanted, where co-host Dave Warnock decided to pretend that there’s only one side in any political debate.
I know this is hardly a surprise but I just caught another instance and thought I’d bring it up. There are a lot of people out there who simply cannot keep their emotions in check. They clearly don’t even know that they’re doing it. Exactly why is that?
Not long ago, Richard Dawkins posted the above tweet and the leftist world shit it’s collective pants. What the hell else is new? Yet this time, I think people are starting to recognize the standard progressive dog whistle isn’t actually working. Lots of very influential people on the atheist and skeptical side are starting to ask questions and recognizing that this isn’t actually making any sense. So here’s my take on it and why none of this is actually a surprise.
This came up in an atheist subreddit recently, where people were asking what’s stopping the world in general and humanity in particular from improving and my answer, as should be no surprise, is “stupid people”. It’s certainly more nuanced than that short answer, but I noticed that it was a pretty common answer to the thread.
I hear this a lot from the non-religious, as though it’s a demonstrated fact and it’s not actually true. Recently, I was listening to a lot of Atheist Experience clips and the subject of slavery comes up a lot. That’s fine, of course, but it also shows a very clear bias and irrational bent from Matt Dillahunty that I think it’s important to look at the problems with these claims. So off we go.

I’ve been watching a bunch of Thomas Sowell videos of late and he’s always been someone I’ve enjoyed. He’s a black author and speaker who is staunchly conservative and thinks that most things the political left are doing is simply wrong.
And he’s completely right about that. But I don’t just accept what he says as gospel truth, I think there are some things he’s wrong about too. So let’s talk about it. Continue reading The Absurdity of Race→
This kind of thing has come up before but I ran into someone today who said they write “lesbian stories” and they wanted to know how to frame conversations between lesbians, as though that was different than conversations between anyone else.
