Dear Christians: Stop Listening To Paul; Listen to JESUS Instead
It sucks that an atheist has to explain Christianity to Christians. But — the fact is — atheists have a perspective on Christianity that Christians intrinsically lack (and can never get). THIS atheist — having perspective — sees a distinct difference between Jesus (the supposed “inventor” of Christianity and “Christianity” (his supposed “invention”). Oy. Where…

If America’s Going To Heal Itself, FIRST, It Needs To Ditch The “Magical Thinking”
Believing in Magic is fun. It’s the deus ex machina side door out of anything hard and overly challenging. Like Life. In the theater, it’s “god from machine” — an ending that doesn’t actually add up or make sense but — it was time. It’s why religion proliferates still — even in the face of…

This Is A Moment In Time Where Magical Thinking Could Kill Us…
…that is if we follow Magical Thinkers and their bottomless capacity to believe utter nonsense is real. I draw a very clear distinction between ‘spirituality’ and ‘religious faith’ because there IS one. Even a humble atheist can feel a sense of awe as he or she gazes out at the cosmos — feels its vastness…

American Culture Has A White-Christian-Male Bias & It Needs To Go
How many guilty Catholic priests does it take to screw in a light bulb? Better question — How many guilty Catholic priests (guilty of SCREWING children) does it take before a Culture opens its damned eyes? That blind spot isn’t the Catholic Church’s alone. The man who sexually assaulted me worked for a synagogue. Jews…

‘MAGICAL THINKING’ isn’t ‘Thinking’, It’s BULLSHIT; That’s Not A Revelation…
There’s a phrase I’m fond of saying here: “BACK IT UP OR IT’S BULLSHIT”. I appreciate that it’s just easier to let other people think for you — especially where the Bigger Questions In Life are concerned. Where did ‘This’ all come from? Why are we here? What is the point? ‘Cos god’ is what…

Is Jeff Sessions Too Stupid For Christianity?
Our ‘sistah-sight’ Mulligan Jesus (which, biased-biased-biased I highly recommend) asks what I think is a very provocative question: Is THIS MAN — Attorney General Jefferson Beauregard Sessions — too stupid for Christianity? We know already he’s TOO STUPID FOR JESUS… But,, who am I — a very humble atheist — to judge. That’s I leave…

Most Christians Only Like The Bible For ‘The Good Parts’ Anyway…
I rail often here about Christians and their insincerity. Yeah, sure — low hanging fruit and all but — but even low hanging fruit tastes good and has some nutritional value. So I’ll pick it. Simple fact: Most American Christians know virtually nothing about their professed faith. They’ve NEVER read ‘The Bible’. Most have never…

Want My Vote? First Question: Is Your Core ‘Belief System’ Based On Real Or RUBBISH?
Here’s the conundrum atheists have faced at each and every election. We have to cast a ballot for people making Life & Death decisions for us. At the presidential level those are LITERAL Life & Death Decisions. A POTUS has the power to literally wipe out huge chunks of humanity. Not ‘quite’ with the press…

Why Do They Even CALL It ‘Christianity’?
Growing up Non-Christian in a predominantly Christian country does things to you — especially when you realize that you know more about Christianity than most Christians — if only because you bothered to actually READ the texts the religion says it’s based on. You start to develop a sore neck cos your head’s always tilted…
