- Love LabyrinthsA friend of mine is getting married next weekend and she wants to have the ceremony in a labyrinth. Knowing that I’ve researched and visited labyrinths around the world—as well as written about them in Skeptical Inquirer magazine and on this very blog—she asked me to write a short piece about “love labyrinths” to be read during the ceremony for her guests wh […]Ben Radford
- Francis and the Accidental ExorcismThe Morning Heresy is your daily digest of news and links relevant to the secular and skeptic communities. The anti-blasphemy machine rolls on: Turkish writer Sevan Nişanyan is sentenced to 58 weeks in prison for “insulting the religious beliefs held by a section of the society.” GOP Lt. Governor nominee E.W. Jackson of Virginia (Democrats are a “coalitio […]Paul Fidalgo
- “Renoir”: A Nickell-odeon Review[Pierre] Auguste Renoir (1841–1919) was, with Claude Monet and other French painters in the 1860s, a founder of Impressionism, a movement allied with artistic Naturalism. Its adherents sought to paint real life directly from nature—among their goals being to capture light’s changing effects. Why do we care? Because appreciation of art is part of what makes u […]Joe Nickell
- The Wise Old Goat in a Flock of SheepThe Morning Heresy is your daily digest of news and links relevant to the secular and skeptic communities. Obviously, most Americans’ hearts and minds are concentrated on the victims of the tornadoes in Oklahoma and across the Midwest. We’ll have a formal statement soon, and in the mean time please consider donating to help those affected. Wowie-wow-wow-WO […]Paul Fidalgo
- If You Threw Yourself in Front of a TrainThe Morning Heresy is your daily digest of news and links relevant to the secular and skeptic communities. The conference was great. It had a high bar to meet with last year’s huge success, but it was easily cleared. Talk to talk, panel to panel, and the amazing freaking voice of Shelley Segal, it was a real and substantive pleasure to be at Women in Secul […]Paul Fidalgo
- Watson’s World and Two Models of CommunicationRebecca Watson inhabits an alternate universe. At least that is the most charitable explanation I can provide for her recent smear. Watson has posted comments on my opening talk at Women in Secularism 2. It may be the most intellectually dishonest piece of writing since the last communique issued by North Korea. Her distortions begin with her second parag […]Ronald A. Lindsay
- A Few Examples of “Shut Up and Listen”So I gave a talk yesterday afternoon in which I emphasized how horrible it was that women had been suppressed for thousands of years, and, on many matters, had been instructed to remain silent. As I stated at the end of my talk, this enforced silence robbed women of their humanity, and I indicated that CFI was committed to working toward a society in which […]Ronald A. Lindsay
- My Talk at WIS2There has been some discussion, including many tweets, about my talk today at Women in Secularism 2. I think some of the comments have been highly misleading. One of the principal points of my talk was the critical importance of advocacy for women’s rights, and how this advocacy was integral to CFI’s mission. This is something I emphasized at the beginning a […]Ronald A. Lindsay
- “42”: A Nickell-odeon ReviewMy first understanding of the moral imperative of racial integration probably came from my father. He had been a talented baseball pitcher in college (with, I’m told, an impressive all arms-and-legs delivery and a tremendous “slider” ball). I think some part of him always regretted giving up that tentative career for a sensible job and the role of family man […]Joe Nickell
- Laugh or Cry? I Can’t DecideThe Morning Heresy is your daily digest of news and links relevant to the secular and skeptic communities. Women in Secularism 2 kicks off today! To judge by the tweets of attendees, there is an enthusiasm for this conference that I’ve not seen for an event at least since the Reason Rally. And not for nothin’, but the WiFi in the hotel lobby is great, and […]Paul Fidalgo

Fear God, and give glory to him; for the hour of his judgment is come: and worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters.

@Pete As an atheist I reject claims of the existence of any gods. That includes yours. I think you would agree that fearing or giving glory to or worshipping that which does not exist would seem pretty silly. Therefore, I respectfully decline.
