Hello there. Thanks for dropping by. My name's Tim Kidd. As you must have guessed by now, I am an atheist and a humanist. On this page are essays which reflect my views (often unorthodox and irreverant) on religion, life, happiness, politics, science and other related topics. I also include links to some of my favorite atheist, humanist, church-state separation, and science/evolution webpages. There's also a book review section where I review some of the best (in my opinion) freethought material available. Enjoy it all, and feel free to comment, if you are so inclined!
For more about me, here's a brief Biography
To clarfiy common misconceptions and shatter stereotypes, here is an explanation of what Atheism is and what it is not
Here is an Atheism FAQ and a Humanism FAQ which should answer any other general questions
I have compiled a lengthy, but my no means complete description of Biblical Fallacies which should cast serious doubt on the validity of Christianity's "holy" book.
Here's a collection of short reviews for some of my favorite Freethought Books
Here's a collection of Freethought Essays , including my own and some from other webpages.
These are the Articles I wrote for my campus newspaper during the 1998-99 academic year

Every month I will spotlight an atheist's personal webpage that I find very informative and enjoyable.
For November check out Adrian Barnett's Wasteland of Wonders. This witty Englishman provides
one of the most thorough and devestating critiques of religion and I have seen on the net.
Having trouble finding freethought/atheistic books or products?
That's not at all surprising as mainstream merchants shy away
from marketing anything controversial (especially in regards to
religion) out of fear of a Christian Coalition boycott. Below are three great websites which market market freethought books and merchandise.

Up until two weeks ago, I was also managing a mayoral candidate's campaign at the university. Of course getting college students to vote is like raising the Titanic with tweasers, and I harbored no illusions about the difficulties in my work. As expect, we lost, but the student turnout was a little better than normal, which earned me a small bonus. Most importantly, I have my foot-in-the door for future campaigns.
My Atheist student group has been a much bigger success than I ever expected. We are called "The G.O.D. Club" ("Gregarious Opponents of Dogma") and include about 15 members who regularly attend meetings; the email list is at about 40. Right now, we're still just a discussion group although some have expressed interest in community service, which I'm all for. Also, our advisor (this really cool philosophy professor) has suggested sponsoring a debate with whatever Christian group that would be interested.
