Merry Christmas From An Atheist!

December 24, 2014 · by Patrick Benson · in Atheism

Today is Christmas Eve, and I will soon be entertaining with family and friends to celebrate the holiday. Now I could not care in the least about the name of the holiday being Christmas. The holiday has about as much…

My Personal Path To Atheism

December 10, 2014 · by Patrick Benson · in Atheism

At one time I was a practicing Christian. I was raised as a Lutheran. A significant part of my family is Catholic, so I am familiar with that denomination of Christianity as well. Later in life I joined the United…

#GamerGate’s Actions Are Its Message

December 5, 2014 · by Patrick Benson · in Uncategorized

Recently I returned to school to acquire an M.S. in Communication. Working full time in sales for a start up tech company plus pursuing a graduate degree has been very time consuming to say the least! It has been a…

You Can’t Reason with a Woodpecker

October 29, 2014 · by Patrick Benson · in Social Justice

“Tap, tap, tap, tap…” That is the sound of my home owning nightmare. Steady, rhythmic, unrelenting, and an announcement to all that the local woodpecker has returned to destroy the cedar siding on mine and my wife’s simple little home….

October 22, 2014 · by Patrick Benson · in Skepticism

September 17, 2014 · by Patrick Benson · in Uncategorized

Something that makes me cringe is when I read or hear someone say that “There is no scientific evidence that evolution is real.” This statement says a great deal about the person making it, and absolutely nothing at all about…

Atheism Inspires Hope

September 10, 2014 · by Patrick Benson · in Atheism

Some people who practice a religion have told me that being an atheist means that a person has no hope for the future. That by not believing in a god, or the supernatural, a natural consequence is that life suddenly…

God Is Not Pro Life

June 29, 2014 · by Patrick Benson · in Atheism

I saw a bumper sticker that read “God is pro-life!” Now if you believe in a god, in particular the Judeo-Christian god mythos, then the bumper sticker’s intended message is that because god is pro-life you must also be pro-life…

This Crazy Work Life

March 16, 2014 · by Patrick Benson · in Uncategorized

Just a personal rant, because it is a Sunday. This has been buzzing around inside of my head for a while now, so it is time to get it out so that I have bandwidth to focus on other stuff….
