Posted on July 14, 2014 by Ryren Cadora

I don’t think I’ve ever written about occult-type beliefs. Well, I suppose it’s about time. The other day one of my friends — who says his religion is “eclectic paganism” — made a Facebook update with a colorful picture. I … Continue reading →

Posted on July 13, 2014 by Ryren Cadora

I’m vegan, have been almost my entire adult life. There are many other atheist vegans out there, by the way, although admittedly we are a minority in a minority. And I’m not here to argue animal rights. I really don’t … Continue reading →

Don’t stand in the way of science in the name of god if you don’t know what god is

I recently discovered that my cousin is a young earth creationist — she should know better! — and I was forced to confront her when she posted an anti-science video to her Facebook page. Most of my family is moderately religious (there … Continue reading →

Bible Contradictions #42: When did Baasha die?

Posted on July 10, 2014 by Ryren Cadora

Posted on July 8, 2014 by Ryren Cadora

Exorcisms have been in the news lately, from the (probably bogus) claim that the Pope performed a public exorcism on a Mexican man last month, to Gordon Klingenschmitt, who’s suggested that atheists should be exorcised so that they’ll feel comfortable going … Continue reading →

Is Django Unchained inspiring blacks to leave Christianity?

Posted on July 7, 2014 by Ryren Cadora

I’m a member of a closed Facebook group called Black Atheists. It’s an interesting group because the general assumption is that black people in the US tend to be religious. This page helps to break that stereotype. Today I logged … Continue reading →
