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 [...]
The pastor featured in Richard Dawkins’ show, The Root Of All Evil has made the headlines. But it’s not a good thing. If you haven’t been paying attention to the news, or you just didn’t recognize the name, click here to see why he is getting so much attention. If you saw [...]
This week’s installment of the Humanist Network News is out today and includes my article, The End As We Know It.

Have you seen it? The Humanist News Network, for which I write a monthly column, has a completely new look. If you are not subscribed and didn’t see last night’s edition, please go check it out.

My Pat Robertson Radar has been on. Pat is in the news today, this time applying the repentance concept. Of course, it required a major consequence to compel yesterday’s apology.
