Stone tablet rocks biblical circles
A tablet consisting of 87 lines of Hebrew that scholars believe dates a number of decades just before the claimed birth of Christ is causing a bit of a stir in biblical circles.
The tablet appears to speak of a messiah who will rise from the dead after three days. If this is the meaning of the text that it will establish that the death and resurrection of a messiah figure was an established part of Jewish lore and not unique to Jesus.
The death and resurrection of a messiah figure was an established part of pagan lore as well. This tablet is rather interesting, but I doubt it will shake the faith of many Christians.

If God Is Dead, Who Gets His House?
Some within the New Atheism movement are trying to create atheist social organizations to replace the theist ones they rail against. I hear Hazel Motes is doing great things with his Church of Christ Without Christ.

The Irrational Atheist
Vox Day, writing on John Scalzi’s Whatever blog, describes writing The Irrational Atheist, a book which takes apart recent books which “take apart” religion in ridiculous ways.
There was a single thought that repeatedly entered my mind when slogging through the interminable morasses of The God Delusion, The End of Faith, Letter to a Christian Nation, God is Not Great, Breaking the Spell and Trattato di Ateologia during the course of researching TIA, and it was “I cannot believe so many people are falling for this utterly abysmal nonsense.”
It’s nice to see someone take on this most recent crop of angry atheists who seem to think that spitting in God’s eye is something new. The book is available for download as well.
