"Res Atheisticae Fortuitae"
"Random Atheist Stuff"
Whole bunch:
Pascals Wager <- not bad
Ask An Atheist Episode 3 <- they're doing great work, I think
Sexual strategies predict religiosity and attitude toward drug use <- fascinating
What Does it Mean to Take and Pass The OTF? <- nice, but one of the comments is weird:

I'm a Christian, and I passed this test. As a matter of fact, there have been times in my life, when I have felt as if my faith isn't doing enough for me. Then, I imagined myself in someone else's shoes, looking at all the great things that Christianity has done in my life, and it always restores all of my confidence in Jesus. The OTF doesn't cause me to doubt my religion, rather, it causes me to feel more and more confident that it is true.
This seems to mean, "My faith can pass the test because I can imagine someone else with similar feelings about the perceived benefit of my faith agreeing with me."
Well, in that case, any faith can pass the test.
On Being Judgmental <- here is where I don't agree with Chris Mooney
There are No Real Atheists in Foxholes, No Real Atheists: Atheists Can't Exist <- eh? No Truth Atheist? Figures!
High points from the trip <- JT is made of Win!
Can Science Talk About Morality? <- good question!
Evolution and Accommodationism <- atheist-bashing? Say it ain't so!
Style over substance fallacy <- certain people need to know that this is a fallacy; someone might dismiss an argument because the other person was "being mean!!!" (wah wah wah!), but that does not mean that he or she should get to walk away from it without being called out on account of that dismissal
Weekly Poll: Appropriate Adjectives for so-called "New Atheists"? <- another great question!
Atheist Meme of the Day: "You Can't Disprove God" Is A Terrible Argument <- it's a horrible argument, too
