My ten most formative books

Here’s a list and description of ten books that impacted me.

A defence of just letting poor people die

If we aren’t required to support the life of another person without our consent, then what’s wrong with just letting all the poor people die? Bloody parasites.

Why are you quoting Sam Harris on Israel? (Religion is not the problem!)

Why are we all suddenly going to Sam Harris for insight on Gaza?

How not to foster healthy Christian discussions about politics

The Bible says not to be a selfish, hateful jerk. So you should be progressive, like me. Obvious, right? Well, no. Please stop. Sit down. We need to talk, because you’re hurting our ability to talk about politics in a constructive or loving way when you do that. I don’t like the attempt to make […]

Free speech and the crusade against Brendan Eich

We know that constitutional or legal freedom of speech was not violated when you bullied Brendan Eich out of his job at Mozilla because of his view on marriage. But lift your standards a little. “Legal” does not mean “good.” Sometimes, public, ugly spats, cases of abuse or bullying, hate, or division can have the […]

Articles

Here is a collection of articles by Glenn Peoples (or otherwise noted). All of these articles are in pdf format. All of these articles are copyrighted material.

A couple of days ago I got an email advertisement from that great bastion of substance dualism (or more importantly, that good and faithful opponent of Christian physicalism) […]

How to exploit a family falling out for the sake of ideology

A number of people are linking to and commenting about a recent story over at Hemant Mehta’s blog, Friendly Atheist, about “The Atheist Daughter of a Notable Christian Apologist.” The apologist is Matt Slick, and the atheist is his daughter Rachael. Essentially, the article is her relatively short life story about growing up with Matt […]

Are “fundies” inconsistent on homosexuality?

It happens far too often that somebody thinks that they are criticisng simplistic fundamentalism, when in fact they are the practitioner, rather than the genuine critic, of simplistic thinking. Someone recently pointed out a video clip of a guy named John talking about homosexual relationships and the Bible. This is the point where I would […]

The time-saving ability to see what’s going on

A few days ago I got home from a speaking tour in Hamilton, Muriwai Beach, Avondale (for those outside of New Zealand, those two are both in the Auckland region) and Tauranga. Fifteen talks over eight days! All the talks were very well received, and the discussions that followed were excellent. The overall theme of […]
