"Question with boldness even the existence of God:
because, if there be one, he must more approve of the
homage of reason than the blindfold of fear." ~ Thomas Jefferson
This page was created to promote reason and critical thinking when considering believing in an unproven God and living a life believing by faith in the absence of evidence. To paraphrase Thomas Paine: In publishing this page, I do not mean to condemn those who believe, for they have the same right to their belief as atheists, agnostics, and I do.
This page is also a platform to show that a political conservative can be an atheist. I believe in low taxes, limited government, a strong military, equal rights, freedom of speech, the right to bear arms, religious liberty, pro-life, the Bill of Rights, our Constitution, and America.
That makes me a minority within a minority group, but to be mentally faithful to myself, despite any repercussions, I must openly and freely admit what I believe or do not believe. ~ Gene Johns
Why I Don't Believe in God I Am a Conservative and an Atheist
I recently discovered a song I had never heard before. It questions the thought that there is life after death. I don't believe there is life after death because there is no evidence for life after death. We would love to see those we loved and who have passed on, and this song expresses that desire. I found this song to be a haunting
love song, and I wanted to share it with others who believe there must be: More to This.

Matt Dillahunty's flagrant use of the "F"
word prevents him from being a four-star activist.
In the video below, Matt unleashes a profanity-filled tirade before settling down and makes some excellent points in response to the caller. Also, the co-host, Jimmy Snow, shows a lack of class with some lewd comments. Come on, guys, you're better than that!
An example of Matt Dillahunty's debating style
The video below is amazing in that Matt never loses his temper or uses profanity. Matt did an excellent job in this debate without profanity, proving he can do that. If Matt were like this all the time, he would be a four-star activist. The subject matter was also good, and Matt had a four-star performance!

Christian Apologist and friend David Bivens:
I have been friends with David Bivens for more than 20 years. Although we live a thousand miles apart, I live in central Florida, and he lives in western Tennessee; we have become good friends, exchanging thoughts about everything from the weather to God and religion. We coauthored a book called A Conversation about God and Religion. I have provided a link to David's blog below. I invite you to visit his blog, but be forewarned: his Christianity is showing! As a friend, I want to allow him to present his side of the argument about God and Christianity to visitors to this site.

If you replace the word "belief" with the word "faith," the statement by Mr. Randi is still just as true!
