Just a little common sense: Why I Regret My Last Post

http://commonsensehumanism.blogspot.com/2012/06/why-i-regret-my-last-post.html

Just a little common sense. Tuesday, June 5, 2012. Why I Regret My Last Post. So, it turns out that the last story. I commented on was complete and utter bullshit. I failed to do some basic fact-checking before I eagerly pointed my finger, and for that I'd like to apologize. Luckily for all of us, TED-Curator Chris Anderson has written a blog post at TED setting the record straight regarding this story. I suggest that anybody who reads this head over there now and read what he has to say. The truth is th...

Just a little common sense: July 2013

Just a little common sense. Tuesday, July 30, 2013. Recognizing Intolerance, The Easy Way. Chances are, this has happened to you too: You start feeling slightly uncomfortable while listening to somebody, like there's something wrong with something they've just said, but somehow you can't quite put your finger on it. Take, for example, Pope Francis' recent remarks on Homosexuality. The problem is not having this orientation, it is lobbying," he said. "That's the most serious problem I think. The problem i...

Just a little common sense: October 2012

Just a little common sense. Wednesday, October 31, 2012. The Moral Case for Vegetarianism. I have stated before that any sensible stand on ethics will inevitably lead to vegetarianism if consistently followed. The shortest and simplest version of the argument I can think of is this:. Premise a): There is an ethical responsibility to avoid inflicting unnecessary suffering. Premise b): In a western society, survival is. Not dependent on the consumption of animal products. Them Shockingly, that still qualif...

Just a little common sense: June 2012

Just a little common sense. Monday, June 11, 2012. Pastor in Houston Publicly Comes Out as Atheist" - News Coverage Displays a Amazing Lack of Empathy. I just read the story about the Houston Pastor who publicly came out as an atheist. If you haven't yet, the link can be found here. They need to move on. They don't need to stay within the church. And especially use their position to try to take others with them. I can think of no more obvious "no way out" scenario than a priest without faith. Such a ...

Just a little common sense: My Tattooed Ode to Reason

http://commonsensehumanism.blogspot.com/2012/01/my-tattooed-ode-to-reason.html

Just a little common sense. Wednesday, January 4, 2012. My Tattooed Ode to Reason. I love tattoos. I plan to be covered head to toe at some point in the future, though I'm in no particular hurry to get there. Over the past few weeks, I've become aware of an increasing number of atheist-themed tattoos out there. A quick google search. Or the invisible pink unicorn. Of the ideologically motivated tattoos, one in particular caught my attention:. The CEO of the British Humanist Association. Got a tattoo of t...

Just a little common sense: Open Letter to Moderate Believers

http://commonsensehumanism.blogspot.com/2012/01/open-letter-to-moderate-believers.html

Just a little common sense. Wednesday, January 4, 2012. Open Letter to Moderate Believers. Some believers have realized this and now subtly go about the other way, by saying "I don't lump you with atheists like Stalin and Mao, so don't lump me with other murderers simply because they believe in the same stuff as I do.". This has happened to me today when commenting on a christian blog. Lead to similar behaviours, such as the suppression of women and the opposition to gay rights and abortions. I am aw...

Just a little common sense: What American Atheists Can Learn From Europe

http://commonsensehumanism.blogspot.com/2012/01/what-american-atheists-can-learn-from.html

Just a little common sense. Sunday, January 1, 2012. What American Atheists Can Learn From Europe. In Europe, fundamentalism is rare. Not as rare as I’d like it to be, but still rare. Biblical literalists are laughed at. The fight against fundamentalism, one might argue, is already won over here. Has failed to step up and fill the void, failed to catch the attention of those who are looking for an alternative, who still seek ritual, celebration, community. From fundamentalism, but. Pastor in Houston Publ...

Just a little common sense: Dear Judge: That's Not How Justice Works

http://commonsensehumanism.blogspot.com/2012/02/dear-judge-thats-not-how-justice-works.html

Just a little common sense. Tuesday, February 14, 2012. Dear Judge: That's Not How Justice Works. A priest who threatened two gay men with hellfire has just been cleared. From two charges of using threatening words or behaviour. According to BBC News, his defense lawyer said he was "merely reciting a passage in the bible". Please note that the wording of the charge is "using threatening words or behaviour". In this situation, that is an unambiguous given. It does not matter at all who. The sad fact remai...
