3 Reasons Why #NormalizeAtheism Is A Good Thing
This past Sunday, Mark joined Paul from the Quranify Me podcast on Thought Prophets to debate the value of the hashtag. Paul had previously posted a video of his own on YouTube more or less discussing what he did not like about #NormalizeAtheism.Now, before I go any further, I feel it necessary to point out that I adore Paul and the fact that I disagree with him on this in no way diminishes the fact that he is top notch people and the sort of person you want around for life. Paul was the only pe

G’day Sheilas & Blokes, This week I want to introduce you to some Australian people who are true blue additions to the atheist community. The first is MrOzAtheist – this guy is a tweeter extraordinaire and a source of some seriously thought-provoking and laugh-inducing stuff. This Melbourne-based Aussie has been consistently supportive of all the bleeding-heart endeavours I take on, helping by getting lots of eyes on #FreeMubarak and #School4Mubarak and more. He’s definitely someone you want to

Happy Friday Godless Gang, So, this week saw the beginning of my atheist videos on YouTube. I got a lot of great feedback, and some wonderful constructive criticism. Here’s one thing: I ruined my HD camera in Mexico over the summer and have to resort to my webcam which shits the bed. My trip to Mexico for my brother’s wedding emptied our pockets, so I have to wait until we catch back up to get a better quality camera. At which point, I will definitely make way better quality vids. In the meantim

Happy Friday Heathens! This week has been incredible. I posted my first video last week about my new Patreon campaign and I’ve had nothing but positive response, even though it was literally thrown together at the last minute on a Friday night. You can check that out by clicking here. I had such a positive response that I am working pretty hard on making some vids for you guys (SO NOT MY FORTE) in the near future. I’ve even had my hubs write me a punk rock intro, which Atheist Andy has sung the

H-hello? Hi guys… *sheepish grin*. Happy Friday. I know I’ve been posting some depressing shit lately, and I just wanted to apologize. I chose the moving words of Forrest Gump to do this, so as he said, “Sorry I ruined your Black Panther party”. I think that says it all, no? Sometimes we have to talk about the not so pleasant as atheists. Face facts and be grown ups about it. I hope you still love me…Here are some incredible people and groups I love, and I think you should follow them.The first

An Atheist On Activism, Human Rights & Getting To Know Heroes
I don’t believe in fate. That much is probably obvious. I do think that a mind that believes something strongly enough will work, sometimes subconsciously, to make things happen. I think when like-minded people suddenly find themselves amongst each other, the reality is, their like-minds brought them there. Fate… fate is just a cop-out.My whole life, I’d been less than thrilled with small talk. I don’t like chatting about the weather, talking about make-up or hair, or wasting my precious and lim

Yes, Mubarak is Free – Here’s What He Had To Say #MubarakIsFree
Keeping Mubarak’s release from the public to ensure his safety served futile. We are excited and elated that he is free, but it’s not over yet. I am overjoyed and proud to be able to post some of his words here, which were published at IHEU.org:“I have chosen to put things behind me for the sake of reconciliation. I am no longer interested in pursuing the reliefs and intervention I earlier sought. I have been assured of my safety, integrity, and privacy as well as freedom of speech, of conscienc

What I’ve Learned About The Atheist Community In The Past Week
During this past week, I have been consumed with the Free Mubarak campaign. I have been desperate to find help with this cause because of my significant lack of skills, expertise and experience in this area. I have never tried to rescue an atheist from the clutches of sharia law. When Mubarak contacted me, I had no idea what to do.Luckily, I was not alone. Mubarak had also contacted several other people. The problem, however, is that most of the people he contacted had no more experience than I
