With the advent of the American Atheists 2014 Convention, in Salt Lake City, Thursday, April 17th, to Sunday, April 20th, there have been many heated discussions – most notably in the comment sections, following stories run in the Salt Lake Tribune, focused and following up on the Atheists of Utah, and the American Atheists…
These are some of my favorites – ‘bronzed,’ as it were. (See over a hundred more here.)
Announcing the reemergence of our sister-site, ModernAtheist.org © It’s been an interesting couple of weeks around here. It started with our back-up computer (the one my wife uses) going completely bonkers.
