I’d never heard of Frank Schaeffer until I listened to Terri Gross interview him on Fresh Air.

It sure was fun talking about things I really haven’t talked much about in a while. It’s nice seeing my old friends trickling in to the blog again, too. Plus some new names–those never stopped, though, amazingly.
If you’ve been reading AgnosticMom for a long time then you know about my position on morality and ethics. While most religious people think morality comes from their god and some non-believers think it is purely a social construct, others of us (including myself) believe that humans have an innate moral sense which is [...]

If you don’t know what I’m talking about, check out my article in the Humanist Network News. Normally I only contribute one article a month, but this month I will have a second article in HNN. This week’s article is a general description of [...]
I’d like to respond to Dan, who has been in the midst of a conversation with Dudley on this blog. I am copying Dan’s last comment where he quotes Dudley, which I have put in italics, and then gives his response. If you struggle with the lack of context, you can see the [...]
I finally started working on a post yesterday that is a response to some of the comments on my earlier post, Evolutionary Psychology And Materialism As A Worldview. These types of posts take more time than my easer-to-write personal story posts. So in the meantime, while you wait, let me send you over [...]
Whether your kids are artists, natural born scientists, or older video game lovers, I have some ideas for activities that will teach your children about biological adaptations that drive evolution.
If you’re not already a subscriber and haven’t yet read my article in the Humanist Network News, make sure you head over and take [...]
