Rice Alum Named President of American Atheists
This is a week or so old, but Dr. Ed Buckner (B.A., English, Rice University, 1967) was named president of American Atheists - the organization founded and headed by Madeleine Murry O'Hair.

I figured there would be some who knew him. There's a bunch of his writing on the net if you google him...

For a few years Rice's most well-known alumnus was Alberto Gonzales, who as Attorney General seemed to stand for the theory that man (or at least government) is not bound by law.
Now we have an alumnus who is a national spokesman for the theory that man is not bound by God either.
One might wonder if unleavened "critical thinking" leads to too much critique and not enough thinking.

I have got plenty of nothing-plenty of nothing have I (Since he has no God).

Certainly. Only an unthinking fool would doubt His existence.
