Vagshal's revision of the history of the Vilna Talmud, or, One of the most egregious examples of censorship I have ever seen, by 'Mississipi Fred McDowell', from On the Main Line. He exposes Vagshall's pious fraud.

Load-bearing Beliefs vs. Cosmetic Beliefs, by Jewish Atheist. He explains the difference between load-bearing arguments (reasons) and cosmetic arguments (excuses) when engaging believers.

Religion is Not Really About Hope, by John Shook from the Center for Inquiry. John explains that: "Non-religious people can live just as positive and hopeful lives as religious believers. Believers doubt this atheist attitude, and love to bring up the topic of heaven in response.".
