Outshine The Sun

When the gods are shaken from the sky,
there's a scientific reason why.
There's no wish to replace them
and no-one's rushing in to win
the race to fill the empty space
    — All About Eve, "Outshine The Sun"

Estranged Notions

In Jan 2014 the Catholic blog/debate site "Strange Notions", which had expressly invited debate from atheists, banned many of its most prominent atheist commenters (including Andrew G., the owner of this blog) and deleted over a thousand of their comments. They also deleted all discussion of the incident.

For now, the posts labelled "Estranged Notions" are being offered as an alternative venue for discussion.
