Latest Update - 31 December 2004

Meditations: Russell Odell writes on Adam and Eve; John Pariury writes on Practical Atheism vs Philosophical Agnosticism, we consider the implications of philosopher Antony Flew's abandonment of atheism, some relatively relevant extracts from the Devil's Dictionary, and a plea to consider the tsunami victims.

Debate & Discourse: Controversial bunnies, St. Anselm critiqued again, and a quip on a comment (or perhaps a comment on a quip.)

Rationally Speaking: Massimo addresses shaky philosophical writing. (added 03 Jan 05)

Talk Back: Apparently, most of our references and mockery are directed towards the Judeo-Christian religious traditions.

Ask the Patriarch: We respond to a suggestion that the term "Apathetic Agnosticism" is too intimidating.

etc: Ambrose Bierce Day has been added to our days of celebration, and the information about the origin of Festivus has been corrected in the Calendar. A print friendly poster of the Articles of Faith and commentary is now available.

Note: I don't claim to be perfect. I welcome those who point out spelling and grammatical errors. It can only lead to a better web site.
