My Letter to the CFI in Support of Ron Lindsay

My Letter to the CFI in Support of Ron Lindsay:

Dr. Ron Lindsay, president and CEO of the Center for Inquiry, is under fire for comments he made during his opening address at the Women in Secularism 2 conference. Now, a handful of angry ideologues are trying to force him out.

Watson’s World and Two Models of Communication | Center for Inquiry:

Myers-Watson assume you should never question, you should never argue back, because the person from the marginalized group must have the expertise.

I do not share that assumption, and I doubt its wisdom. Indeed, I think it is a horribly misguided, logically infirm understanding of communication. This model of communication asks us to put our critical thinking on hold merely because the person speaking comes from a marginalized group.

We Need More Atheist Voices

Thu, 16 May 2013 20:00:56 -0500

I understand that people are drawn to others who share their political views. Still, I don’t think the secular community is anywhere near large or influential enough to reject, silence, and shun those who do not happen to share our preferred political ideologies. We need more vocal atheists, and this is not the time to marginalize our own.

“It’s a bit ironic that PZ Myers is offended by the direction that skepticism is taking yet seems blind to the re-branding of “freethought” that he supports.”

Elevatorgate: Everything You Ever Wanted to Know and More

Fri, 03 May 2013 20:00:56 -0500

What is this Elevatorgate thing everybody mentions? Believe it or not, there are still a few atheists out there who are not familiar with the controversy known as Elevatorgate. I thought I’d share one of the best sources of information on the incident and its aftermath I’ve been able to find. Freethought Kampala wrote two incredibly thorough posts on the subject in 2011:

The first will bring you up to speed on the Elevatorgate incident itself, and the second will explain the beginnings of the aftermath, something many are continuing to deal with today.
