Jewish Antitheist

Posted on February 15, 2014 by Nathan Hevenstone

So a little while back, I finished watching this incredible discussion between Miri Mogilevsky and Chana Messinger about being Jewish Atheists. I am so angry with myself for missing this discussion when it was live. It’s a brilliant discussion and … Continue reading →

Posted on September 13, 2013 by Nathan Hevenstone

So I’ve been participating in the comments of a blog post by BJ called “An Open Letter To Those Who Doubt or Deny God“. Recently, a Christian named Marc responded to one of my posts. So I responded. Then he responded … Continue reading →

Response to “Investigating Atheism”

Posted on August 24, 2013 by Nathan Hevenstone

Over on News24, BornAgain_Believer posted a series of questions called “Investigating Atheism“. I want to start out by noting, however, that these questions are loaded and have a lot of assumptions that are simply incorrect, at least for me. My … Continue reading →

An Open Plea to the Atheist Community

Posted on June 24, 2013 by Nathan Hevenstone

No, it’s not about what you think. I just finished reading the following post by Ophelia Benson about The Apostasy Project. She quotes a short letter they received that quite literally made me cry: “I am an ex Muslim living … Continue reading →

Atheism and Social Justice

Posted on June 22, 2013 by Nathan Hevenstone

I’m an atheist. I’m an atheist because the idea of a higher power seems, to me, absurd on the face of it. I find it downright impossible to believe in something like that. There are a myriad number of reasons … Continue reading →

SUPERMAN IS JESUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Posted on June 17, 2013 by Nathan Hevenstone

Okay. I’ve been keeping myself to a policy of not reading any reviews or anything about “Man of Steel” until I see it. But then this came up in my feed and I *had* to read it: Superman: Flying to … Continue reading →

But I’m a Good Christian™!

Posted on June 11, 2013 by Nathan Hevenstone

So Dana Hunter wrote this awesome post about “Christian Love” that I really liked. I think the most important part is this: It doesn’t matter how friendly you are. It doesn’t matter how much fluffier your Christianity is compared to … Continue reading →

Skepticism and “Don’t be a Dick”

Posted on May 4, 2013 by Nathan Hevenstone

So earlier this morning, Hayley is a Ghost put up this post called “How it is”. Honestly? It’s a good post. I understand her point of view and get where she’s coming from. It’s just that I’m not 100% sure … Continue reading →

An Atheist Commercial

Posted on May 3, 2013 by Nathan Hevenstone

So yes, I think an official commercial would be incredible. However, the commercial needs to serve a very specific purpose. It should not be about proselytizing atheism or otherwise trying to get theists to become atheists. That, obviously, is a … Continue reading →
