For an atheist, I tend not to talk much about religious matters anymore. When I first came “out” as an atheist, it was an interesting topic of discussion for me, but I quickly bored of it. Still no evidence for god? Okay, move along. I’m much more interested in the immediate harm of anti-vaxxers and [...]

My webernets presence has been pretty sparse lately, as I’ve been away from home and on the road for almost a week and a half. And I had a blast! So much so that I’m having trouble readjusting to being home. So here’s the recap for those who care. (If you don’t give a darn, [...]

I’m still around. Promise! The last few weeks have been super busy with travel, being sick, and work. Coming up in the next few weeks are my thesis committee meeting, a regional conference for my grant, a bellydance workshop, and a class project to design and guide, and generally trying to keep my project moving!

A few fun, fantastic, and important things of note from the weekend:
Duck! An asteroid is going to come whizzing by, as the Bad Astronomer points out. Okay, it’s not coming dangerously close, but astronomers are getting better at detecting approaching asteroids. The pun-master also ends this post with a real side-splitter.

Purity in Religion?
Posted in atheist, culture, labels, morality, religion, vaa on February 9, 2009 | 1 Comment »
Last week at the meeting of the Virginia Atheists and Agnostics, we had a fascinating talk by Chris Bell, titled “When are Tibetans not Buddhist?” Chris is working on a Ph.D in religious studies with a focus on, of course, Tibetan Buddhism. I won’t even pretend to recap the incredible depth of detail, [...]
An invitation…
Posted in atheist, religion on December 23, 2008 | 2 Comments »
I got this message in my YouTube inbox the other day, probably in response to my old and only video in response to the Blasphemy Challenge (no I won’t link to it, I hate myself on video!)
Just saying…

Hardcore Atheist?

As first posted on Friendly Atheist and seen on skeptigirl, 50 questions to determine if you are hardcore about your atheism:
Participated in the Blasphemy Challenge. (My first and only YouTube video…)
Met at least one of the “Four Horsemen” (Dawkins, Dennett, Hitchens, Harris) in person. (Hitch signed my book and kissed my hand… did I tell [...]
WBC recap
Posted in Charlottesville, atheist, picture on November 21, 2008 | 1 Comment »
So I mentioned earlier that I would be attending the counter-protest to the Westboro Baptist Church’s protest of the “Laramie Project” at UVa. Although the WBC never showed up, the counter-protest was pretty darn awesome. Lots of people showed up to support the message of tolerance and love!
A bit of the crowd lining [...]
Carnivals come and gone…

Carnival of Space #77, a little late, and #76, which I missed entirely. Spacey goodness abounds!
Also on my list of things to check out, Chris Basinet’s Top 5 up-and-coming blogs at Edger. We all knew Skepchick was the awesomest place on the t00bz, right?
Also great reading, SkepticBlog, the new haunt of those [...]
Religulous

Which, I may add, is pronounced with a soft “g.” I had been saying it wrongly.
Okay, so the fabulous and wonderful VAA trekked out to the Vinegar Hill Theatre in CVille to see Religulous on it’s opening night. This is the “guerrilla-style” documentary by Bill Maher and Larry Charles which aims to reveal [...]
