I read Pharyngula, which leads to reading Skatje, which led to Ebon Musings, a big site of atheism essays, many of which I've now read, in a great gorging upon sympathetic ideas. Some particular finds:
Atrocities, and related articles on God as domestic abuser (perfect fit!), and the evil great sage.
What archaeology has to say about the Old Testament. No evidence for patriarchs, emphatic absence of evidence for Exodus and conquest -- and isn't it rather odd that Exodus doesn't *name* the Pharaoh? The Bible is hardly name-averse, after all.
Did Jesus really exist?
The Argument from Locality -- not a new idea, and one I've had, but he names it well.
Faith vs. reason in religion, with something at the end which made me think happy Technocratic thoughts again but that's me.
