Hi, I'm Godlessheathen (also known elsewhere as Lynne). For you IRC junkies, I am the same Godlessheathen who aops in Dalnet's #atheism. (My husband is also an aop and on that page under the nick, AgnosticPope.) I also have my own Atheist Women Webring. When you are done surfing this site, you might also want to check out my Current Status of America's Wall of Church-State Separation site, which is off-site, on the Secular Web. I'm also one of the National Atheist Ombuds, and involved in EARTHWARD, Inc. To find out more about those projects, see my Activism page. In addition, I'm on the Advisory Board of the Secular Student Alliance, and I'm the editor of Suite 101's Humanism page.

For a picture, and more personal junk about me see my Index of Personal and Off-topic Pages.

This page is mostly about atheism, freethought, skepticism, and secular Humanism related stuff. If you need definitions for these terms, see the New Atheists' and Agnostics' Help Series. Because of the fact that I included a Kids' Page series on this site, this entire site has kept it's language "clean", with the exception of the guestbook because of one rude, potty-mouthed Christian calling himself "Russ".

Below is a table for the other pages on this site (and links to other tables for pages in a serial) including notations about what is New! I have made changes since 12/08/01. Just follow the New!

After the table, are three links to other tables or indexes for special series of pages. Don't forget to read about them. The table below is for pages which are not part of a special series (most of these pages); they are color coded in light purple. The Book Store, in association with Amazon.com, is also included.

After that are two humanistic poems, a link to another poem - and the Atheist flag, and the Atheist Circle. If you haven't been here in over two weeks, there may be stuff here new to you which isn't marked as such! You can e-mail me here - Please come back soon and visit me. Enjoy your stay!

Kids' Series, Table of Contents

(I thought of an idea for a kids' series because I'm the mother of an adorable pre-school aged boy named Scotty. I now also have a beautiful baby girl named Hayley:) These pages include definitions of atheism, naturalism and science; an explanation of what science is and how it works; proof that Hell doesn't exist, and several educational pages on evolution, including one that highlights new findings about evolution. The Kids' Pages are all color-coded in light teal.

New Atheist Help Series, Index

This is a series for those who are new to atheism. It included definitions, essays, and links, and pages are color-coded in light green.

Reason Over Hate Series, Table of Contents

The Reason Over Hate series tries to combat messages of hate groups by teaching critical thinking and exposing techniques of propaganda, (and occassionally getting a little sarcastic). This series is color-coded in pale blue.



Is it so small a thing, To have enjoyed the sun,
To have lived light in the Spring,
To have loved, to have thought, to have done;
To have advanced true friends, and beat down baffling foes-
That we must feign a bliss Of doubtful future date,
And while we dream on this, Lose all our present state,
And relegate to worlds...yet distant our repose?
(Poem by Matthew Arnold, 1852?)

A Firefighter's Poem
(Author unknown)

When I am called to duty,
Wherever flames may rage,
I will have the strength to save some life,
Whatever be its age.
I will embrace a child before it's too late,
Or save an older person from the horror of that fate.
I will be alert and hear the weakest shout,
Quickly and efficiently I will put the fire out.
Without a mythical being,
I don't rely on prayer for safekeeping,
Instead I look inside myself for the answers that I need.
Out of care for my fellow humans, I do the required deed.
I want to give the best in me,
To guard my every neighbor and protect their property,
And should I happen to perish,
I want you to know that I love you,
My family, who I cherish .

Another freethought poem called The Teaching is on an off-site page called Bleak Moments
