I think its a douchey thing to do. All it does is help reinforce Christians in their preposterous claim that “they are the opressed ones” and that there is a radical atheist agenda that controls everything.

I often run in the Phoenix Park and enjoy its many amenities. If, as a tax paying citizen I am not permitted to run there on the day of the visit by Jorge Bergoglio, even though I am being forced to fund his visit by my taxes, would it be a “legitimate” form of protest?

I do have a…[Read more]

I have my web site.  The problem I have (that I identify) is that my writing is very clunky.  It’s difficult to put down bits of facts and research piecemeal and expect it to read nicely.  I notice that other writers on a similar subject (morality) know their material like a charm, and so they can just reel it off when needed, and it really fl…[Read more]

I am writing a book about the nature of belief and belief in gods in particular. The premise of the book is to help people with doubts to reason themselves away from god. It will be commercial – if I ever finish it!!! with 10% of profits going to a charity I support.
