My Apology to the Psychic Community.

This is probably the second hardest post I’ve ever had to write.
For years, I’ve railed against the people I considered psychic frauds. No matter what my theology was at the time, I knew…I KNEW that there were cheats and hoaxers that had nothing better to do than create lies about their supposed “powers” and abilities. [...]

Enough.

</foghorn>
Enough of the god / no god stuff. It’s just getting folks all riled up and quite frankly, it’s boring.
Let’s get back to the basics. Coming soon, (I promise) , the fork video. As you can see, I finally figger’d out this here video stuff.
Woo, I say, woo-hoo!

It’s official, I’m going to Hell.

I’ve made a lot of noise lately about renouncing my religion and such. It is very easy for someone to simply get frustrated at their religion and “give it up” out of anger or a even out of a need for attention, but that’s not where I’m coming from. I’m sure some folks out there [...]

Why you can’t trust the Bible (aka: Easter for the honest)

I grew up in a very Bible-based literalistic church. In fact, looking back on it now, I’d have to say my faith was balanced almost entirely on the concept of biblical inerrancy. I was taught that 1) the Bible was the inspired WORD OF GOD as dictated to it’s authors 2) It was the inerrant [...]

Booked a show at QCC

Yay! Prof Gillies just booked me (3rd year in a row!) to do my skeptical psychic show for one of his classes. It sounds like we’ll have the press there again. Awesome. Maybe this time, they’ll put my contact info in the broadcast.

Help!

Anyone know how I can get this:

It’s driving me crazy.

The Reasonably Purposeful Life. Update.

After a few days of dual-reading The Purpose Driven Life and The Reason Driven Life, I’ve come to some conclusions: 1) It is certainly a worthwhile excercise for any thoughtful person with interest in Christianity. 2) It’s something that will take some digesting before I feel I can comment on it sensibly and 3) Rick [...]

The Reasonably Purposeful Life

I’ve decided to embark upon another project. I’m going to spend the next 40 days reading Rick Warren’s “Purpose Driven Life” and Dr. Robert Price’s rebuttal to evangelical christianity “The Reason Driven Life” one chapter at a time. I’m a big fan of Dr. Price “The Bible Geek” and I hope that this will give [...]

Another soldier in the Skeptic Army!

Drop everything and check out Captain Disillusion, really. There are good guys are out there, they just happen to wear silver facepaint…

The Dilemma, continued

So with the discussion of “suspension of disbelief” behind us, it should become clear that mentalism does carry a particular problem…
When David Copperfield flies on stage, the audience rationally knows that he can’t really be flying. People can’t fly, and what we know about physics (even on an intuitive level) clearly states that what we’re [...]
