FROM A NOTED DEVELOPMENTAL PSYCHOLOGIST and anthropologist at Oxford University, this fascinating theory about the value of religious faith posits that we are all predisposed to believe in God from birth. We are all Born Believers , explains Professor Justin L. Barrett. It begins in the brain. Infants, under the sway of powerful internal and external forces, make sense of their environments by imagining a creative and intelligent agent, a grand controller who makes the sun shine and the night fall. In the chaos of childhood, where so much is out of the child’s control, this belief in a morally good creator can bring tremendous comfort and calm.

Today, a lot of snow fell on us here in Tacoma, and for the first time in a long while, the phrase ‘snow day’ has meaning for me thanks to Becky’s teaching career. Even so, we were doing more than staying indoors, watching RiffTrax and playing Minecraft. While we normally shy away from political topics such as this one, this is a topic which I believe transcends most political ideologies, and clearly intersects with the message of Ask an Atheist, as we say above. Participating in activities such as these should be a rare thing for us, and I welcome any feedback you have about our participation, positive or negative. The good news is that the stunt seems to have done the job.

Atheist Sees Image of Big Bang in Piece of Toast
For Immediate Release: Miracle Toast? (ACPA-london) Excitement is growing in the Northern England town of Huddersfield following news that local atheist Donald Chapman saw an image of the Big-Bang in a piece of toast. In an exclusive interview with "The Huddersfield Express" Chapman, 36, explained that he was sitting down to eat breakfast when an unusual toast pattern caught his eye. "I was just about to spread the butter when I noticed a fairly typical small hole surrounded by a burnt black ring, right in the middle of the bread." said Chapman. "But then I noticed the direction and splatter patterns of the crumbs - flowing outward from the center of a black hole, changing shades as distance from the center grew. A perfect match to the chaotic-dynamic non-linear patterns that followed the Big-Bang.
[Journalists] seem to feel let down when they discover that the real people aren't anything like the way they so relentlessly portray us; as if, since they've gone to the trouble of inventing extravagant caricatures of us, we should at least have the decency to live up to them in real life.

Suite à l’application de la loi de finances 2012, le taux de TVA sur les livres est de 7% depuis le 1er avril 2012, contre 5,5% avant cette date. En conséquence, la majorité des éditeurs répercutent cette modification législative par une augmentation des prix de vente TTC. L’augmentation des prix n’est pas homogène. Certains éditeurs appliquent la hausse exacte de TVA ; d’autres ont profité de ce changement de TVA pour augmenter leurs prix nets. Nous attirons cependant votre attention sur le fait que, compte tenu des modifications des prix à l’initiative des éditeurs, les prix figurant sur le site pourraient ne pas correspondre à ceux affichés avant le 1er avril 2012.

Did you know - Quran (4:34) orders a man to beat his wife if she doesn't obey him? Quran 4:34: Men are the maintainers of women because Allah has made some of them to excel others and because they spend out of their property; the good women are therefore obedient, guarding the unseen as Allah has guarded; and (as to) those on whose part you fear desertion, admonish them, and leave them alone in their sleeping places and beat them ; then if they obey you, do not seek a way against them; surely Allah is High, Great.
