Yesterday’s New York Times featured an article about the popularity of football leagues for the home-schooled. As they often do, the NYT also published a related slideshow. The first photo from this slideshow: Obvious sign is obvious.

I found two really interesting summer camps for little skeptics. One of them is Camp Quest. I had heard of Camp Quest a few years back but I never really looked into it as a parent. There are four camps in the US, one in Canada and a new one in the United Kingdom...

Mark Edward at Skepticblog has a post up suggesting we (skeptics, not FFW) take up “ambush skepticism“. Just a couple of the suggestions he makes in his post: Offer a tarot reading to the Watchtower person once you agree to have them come into your house to discuss Jesus...
Back in March, I posted about a hot news item about the Pope positing that condoms were actually making the AIDS situation in Africa worse, not helping it. I condemned the church for wanting to take away what little family planning already exists in Africa...
I know Greg Epstein rubs some of us the wrong way, but I think this contest is a great idea. Let’s flex some FreeThought Fort Wayne rhetorical muscle: Good Without God Essay Contest The deadline is June 23, and first prize is $1,000.00, which would buy a lot of Firefly coffee. Good luck!
Notorious religious nutbar Rev. Wiley Drake of the First Southern Baptist Church of Buena Park, CA is inserting himself into the news again. Well, that’s assuming you don’t find the phrase “Fox News” to be a non sequitor...
A week agoanother doctor who performs abortions was shot to death. His name was Dr. George Tiller. He was shot by an alleged pro-life activist while attending church. You can get the rundown here, US abortion doctor is shot dead,if you are unaware of the circumstances of the news story...
A couple months ago some of us shared presentations on what inspired us during the monthly meeting, I was asked to share my presentation on the website as well so here it is. The Beauty is in What You Make It I’ve accepted the reality that I cease to exist at the moment of my death...

The mild-mannered (though slightly eccentric) scientist sporting a tweed jacket complete with patches on the elbows is still the prevalent image that most people have of those who work in scientific fields. The truth is science and those who are passionate about it are anything but mild-mannered...
Today is the day when most of us Americans get a day off from work. We get this day off in order to honor the veterans of our armed services although many of us just get to the lake if possible. We often take for granted in our daily lives the freedoms we have and the security we enjoy...

NPR has been doing a series on the science of spirituality. I’ve only caught a couple of the broadcasts, but I found the final installment completely engrossing. [Mental note: renew NPR membership] I find the concept of this series incredibly fascinating, but there have to be a few caveats...
Author Mathew Barron will be joining us for our June Meeting and we decided to change locations due to the small size of the only available room at the main library. We are now going to meet at the meeting room at the Shawnee Branch Library...
This Week’s Topic Rather than the usual topic for debate, like “will theists and atheists ever get along?” or “Star Trek or Star Wars?” today I’m going to offer a different sort of question: What sort of blog features do you want to see on FreeThought Fort Wayne, or what sort of events...
Another sign that the religious right is retreating even further into delusions after its pet political party lost power. From Think Progress we learn that televangelist Jerry Falwell’s Liberty University has shut down its’ student-run Democratic club...
