UPDATE: See the comments for more on the saga. The MySpace group mentioned has been restored.
Skeptico has a post titled Sniveling Cowardly Christians. And yes, the title is justified:
Early this month, MySpace again deleted the Atheist and Agnostic Group (35,000 members). This deletion, due largely to complaints from people who find atheism offensive, marks the [...]

An attempt at a modernistic and rational translation of “The Evil committed by Atheism”. Not edited, just composed, thrown together, and published. Quite verbose. I will prune this down some time.

I promised eventually explaining why I blame atheism for much of the evil in the world. “God” has surprised me by inspiring me to write this right now.
I blame atheism for fundamentalistic Christianity. Which means, everything you say is wrong with fundamentalistic Christianity, I can throw right back at the atheists. And it’s not their [...]

For the time being, I’m providing [...]

This is an open letter to the Freethinking Maties executive committee, that consists pretty much of atheists. (I would like to specify more accurately what kind of “atheist” I am talking about, however, I will refrain from doing so. I do not really want to offend anyone, and the rest of this post will be [...]

This is the third post in a series of three, aimed at making evangelicals in the field more successful in their ministry to atheists. The previous post was Get the Good News Right. (Getting the Good News right is really the crux of the issue.)
The only difference between theists and atheists, is that we speak [...]

This is the second post in a series of three, aimed at making evangelicals in the field more successful in their ministry to atheists. The first post was How to Convert an Atheist. Go and read that one first if you have not already done so.
What exactly is the “Good News”? Evangelising Christianity is about [...]
