I had a bunch of browser tabs open (in the queue!) for a while and finally got around to reading them. Most of the tabs were of essays to look at and forget about, but a couple were more interesting.

One link is the following video clip. I came across the video at Scanners (and there’s a decent conversation about the clip in the comments) on April 12th — which shows you just how long it’s been in the queue. I like the general idea of the clip, that you can believe something based on evidence and remain open-minded. It’s simple, it generalizes discussion points, and there’s room for debate around the video, but I think it’s a good message in the proper context.

The other link is much more recent (June 26th!) and is a response to the idea that non-theists promoting non-theism are behaving religiously in nature. Here’s a snippet from the article:

The sentiment gets worded in many different ways. “The new atheists are so evangelical.” “This atheist criticism of religion is just intolerant.” “You atheists are just as close-minded as the hard-line religious believers you’re criticizing.”
