Republican Theater Festival: Debrief
So, the Republican Theater Festival occurred, and all in all, it was really not that big a deal. No fights broke out; I was not required to do karate on disruptively rowdy patrons; I was not asked to use the power of my atomic intellect to rhetorically break a man down into his component parts.

Atheism, Eben Alexander and a Neurosurgeon’s Experience of…Something.
I want to write about this article, I guess you should probably read it. I thought I’d gotten it all out on Facebook, but no, Eben Alexander is actually STILL making me mad, and I don’t know, I guess I’ve got more nattering to do. I have some things to say, first about atheism, the [...]
