The handsome, dashing and debonair chap to your left is moi, and for my sins I founded "The Big E" blog; most likely during a fit of peak, the reasons remain hazy to me.
Transplanted from England to Pennsylvania in 1999, I've been busy reclaiming the colonies ever since, and so far it's been going quite well. Baptized a Catholic with the given name Paul I evolved into a godless, liberal, and militant atheist with no time for the bigotry, hate, intolerance and irrationality displayed by the religiously minded.
We genuinely hope that The Big E blog can bring something fresh and exciting to this communication medium. Blogging on important issues that highlight the clash between the secular world and the religious seems like a worthwhile pursuit, and we hope that we can achieve our ambitions with this blog and keep posts fresh, informative, and frequently amusing. You're welcome to let us know how you think we're doing at any time by commenting on posts.
We will also delve into issues other than religion from time to time. We'll look at pseudo-scientific claims, the paranormal, spiritualism, crypto-zoology, alien visitations and other claims of a fantastic or seemingly supernatural nature.
This blog is a collective of authors who share one common trait, a distaste for the imposition of religious dogma on our lives. We are different people with a broad spectrum of political and social stances. The Big E does not have a "corporate" manifesto, each author is free to contribute their own posts without review or editorial oversight. If other authors disagree with a post, they are free to comment as is any visitor to the blog.
You can see a list of The Big E contributors in the panel to the right. I am hugely grateful to have these smart, articulate and very humorous allies working with the team.
Please be aware that we do not moderate the use of language or comments made on on The Big E blog. If you're offended by certain words such as fuck, twat, shit, piss and beef curtains, please kindly fuck off and visit some other blog.
