Man arrested for allegedly throwing pipe bomb at Satanic Temple

Sean Patrick Palmer, 49, of Perkins, Oklahoma, was arrested on charges of "using an explosive to cause damage to a building used in interstate or foreign commerce", the United States' attorney office for the district of Massachusetts said in a statement. 

The Satanic Temple does not actually worship the devil or believe in the existence of Satan or the supernatural, but rather uses Satan as a symbol of free will, humanism and anti-authoritarianism. It regularly angers rightwingers and Christians...

Uproar as after-school Satan club forms at Tennessee elementary school | Tennessee | The Guardian

June Everett, ASSC's national campaign director, said in response to the reaction of the Chimneyrock community members: "I'd like to believe that people that don't agree with us and don't think that we should be allowed equal access into the same schools that these other clubs are running, that this is a reminder of what a great and free country that we live in. 

"It's the first amendment at work."…

Daniel Dennett & Gregg Caruso — Just Deserts: Debating Free Will (moderated by Michael Shermer)

The concept of free will is profoundly important to our self-understanding, our interpersonal relationships, and our moral and legal practices. If it turns out that no one is ever free and morally responsible, what would that mean for society, morality, meaning, and the law? Just Deserts introduces the concepts central to the debate about free will and moral responsibility by way of an entertaining, rigorous, and sometimes heated philosophical dialogue between two leading thinkers.

The Case Against Free Will

Free will does not exist. That's the claim I'm making, anyway. To me, it seems impossible even to imagine a world in which free will makes any sense...

The Right Note (Dan Barker and Annie Laurie Gaylor, Freethought Radio)

Dan Barker announces the publication of his new book, Free Will Explained. After hearing about FFRF in the news and complaining about a Tennessee pastor who sexually molested a high-school girl and then apologized to his church to a standing ovation, we learn the connection between the anniversary of Otis Redding's "Sittin' On The Dock of the Bay" and Dan Barker's piano playing. Then, after hearing world-renowned classical pianist Jarred Dunn play Chopin, we speak with him (on the phone from Poland) about his freethought views, and about the views of Chopin.

Everyday Life Without Free Will - Alex J O'Connor (Cosmic Skeptic)

Why hello all! I hope you’re well. So I’ve recently had the awesome opportunity to have two fantastic conversations with Alex J O’Connor (Cosmic Skeptic), at his house no less! One on Free Will (this video), and the other on The Moral Landscape (click here to see this conversation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lyp3t...). Both are fruitful and thought-provoking, and I’m sure that you, like me, will be impressed with what Alex had to say on both subjects.

The GOP’s new brand of freedom: The privilege of being without health insurance

When I think of freedom, I think of it in positive, aspirational terms: our First Amendment freedoms, for example, or FDR's "Four freedoms" or the uplifting songs of freedom sung by oppressed people around the globe.

But right-wing, corporate-funded ideologues have fabricated a new negative notion of "freedoms" derived from individual choice. You're free to be poor, free to be politically powerless or free to be ill and uncared for; it's all a matter of decisions you freely make in life, and our and our larger society has no business interfering with your free will.

This is what passes for a philosophical framework behind many of the policies of today’s Republican congressional leaders....
