		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m a bit of a definition junkie. I think it comes from studying philosophy. It seems that most of the big questions are difficult to answer because the terms involved turn out to be so ill-defined. Thus much of the efforts in philosophy is not really aimed at answering the big questions, but precisely defining [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Recently, Roger Ebert wrote a wonderful essay about death &#8211; his death in particular. Overall, I think his attitude towards his own demise is a very healthy one. It also shows that one can approach the end of life fearlessly without any belief in an afterlife. I know it is coming, and I do not [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I am an Unaffiliatist (among other things) &#8211; that is, I am unaffiliated with any religion. I&#8217;m also a statistic. According to the results of a recent Pew survey that explores how Americans change religions, &#8220;The group that has grown the most in recent years due to religious change is the unaffiliated population.&#8221; 16% of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Theologically speaking, I self-identify as a &#8216;deist-agnostic&#8217;, which really functions no differently than modern atheism. I live my life as if there is no God. So why even use the &#8216;deist&#8217; label, why not just use &#8216;atheist&#8217; or even &#8216;agnostic&#8217;? Sometimes I do. It depends on the situation, the audience, and the level of detail [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This post is a response to the December 11th episode of Raborn Johnson and Steve Sensenig’s wonderful podcast Beyond the Box. The podcast is basically the two’s take on Christianity free from the interpretational filter of organized religion. Even as a non-believer, I find the podcast intelligent, thought provoking, and entertaining. I highly recommend listening [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I live in North Carolina&#8217;s 8th district, I don&#8217;t believe in the Jedeo-Christian God, and because of that, I&#8217;m supremely frustrated and disgusted with my representatives in both the House and Senate. Last week, I saw this advertisement paid for by the National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC). I write a letter. Later that same day, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The New Yorker has a fascinating article about differing views on human sexuality between conservatives and liberals. While there&#8217;s not much too terribly new in it (we already know liberals take a realistic approach to human sexuality that emphasizes family planning where conservatives want to dominate human sexuality through fear and misinformation), it&#8217;s well written [...]]]></description>

The author, Shawn Stover, writes about the functional value of Stephen Jay Gould&#8217;s non-overlapping magisteria (NOMA). NOMA is the idea that science and religion are quests for knowledge in two completely separate areas of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I just got back from seeing a pre-screening of Bill Maher&#8217;s new movie, Religulous. I found it quite enjoyable. It was very different from my usual, prefered method of approaching religious skepticism. I&#8217;m accustomed to the more intellectual approach championed by the likes of Richard Dawkins and Sam Harris. In contrast, Maher comes across very [...]]]></description>

I found this opinion piece by Jo Glanville by way of a RichardDawkins.net reprint. In it, Glanville calls the corporate coward Random House Books to [...]]]></description>
