If Jesus Did Come Back, The First Thing He’d Do Is Sue Christianity For Defamation
Poor Jesus. It was bad enough the poor guy literally got crucified. Not a nice way to go. But then to get crucified all over again – every single day – by the very religion that claims Jesus as its… what? What does Christianity think of Jesus as? It’s “founder”? He did no such thing.…

How The Bible SHOULD Have Been Written
(Note: one in a continuing series). Today’s Episode ADAM & EVE: The Scene: God says he created everything including Adam and a nice place (the Garden Of Eden) for him to live in. He’s filled the garden with fruits and vegetables and animals – everything Adam might want. “It’s all yours, kid,” God tells Adam,…

Profiles In Monotheism & Madness: Kenneth Copeland
If you don’t know who Kenneth Copeland is, you should. Kenneth Copeland is the poster boy for why monotheism is dangerous. Ken’s a televangelist and a big fan of the “prosperity gospel”. He preaches that contrary to what Jesus actually said about money and how corrupting it is, “true believers” like Ken owe it to…

Republicans Have Achieved “Peak Magical Thinking”
The Republican Party could run a master class on magical thinking. That’s a measure of their absolute expertise on the subject – from imagining it to propagating it to accepting it. In essence and in fact, magical thinking is a safe space for tender, snowflakey feelings. Facts are anathema. They simply don’t get along with…

A War On Christmas? More Like Christmas Declared War On US!
When you first enter the world famous “Pantheon Of Nonsense”, one of the first rooms you come to (and how can you miss it, there’s so much light coming from it?) is one marked “The War On Christmas”. Inside, the room feels both enormous and yet crushingly small; it’s such a massive complaint about nothing.…

There’s A HUGE Difference Between “Christians” And “Followers Of Jesus”
Question: How do you get from “Do unto others” to “Onward, Christian Soldier!”? The truth is you can’t. Even a humble atheist can “do unto others”. A Christian soldier? They do unto others before others can do unto them. That’s their idea of Jesus. In other words, they have no idea of Jesus or, whatever…

Michael Flynn Is The Poster Boy For Why Monotheism Is Dangerous
Ever notice how it’s never Jews or Muslims or Buddhists or Native Americans or anyone other than Christians who think their religion should be the only religion practiced in America? What is it exactly about Christianity — okay, American Christianity — that makes it so easily taken in by megalomaniacs like Jim Jones and David…

I Am Sick To Death Of People Who Literally Think They’re God
Personally, I blame monotheism. We’ve got it in our heads that monotheism was a positive evolutionary step forward from polytheism. That is, “people who believe there’s only one sky deity are more advanced in their thinking than people who think there are more than one sky deity”. Can I tell ya? From an atheist’s POV?…

Personally, I Blame Monotheism For This Freakin’ Mess We’re In
A monotheist is someone who thinks his imaginary friend can beat the crap out of your imaginary friend. The problem is, the monotheist’s friend isn’t all that “imaginary”. This atheist absolutely accepts the sincerity of all his monotheistic friends (and he has many!) that they believe a creature far larger than themselves created everything. And…
