Why Is It So Much Easier To Sell People Bullshit Than It Is To Give Them The Truth?
Magic is sparkly bullshit. It’s no more real just because it glitters a little.

People Who Believe In Magic Can Never Be Trusted — Because They Believe In Magic
You’re lying on a gurney, about to be wheeled into emergency surgery. The surgeon appears — big smile on his face — just before they put you under. “Nothing to worry about,” he says (a little too loudly), “You’re gonna be fine — I just know it! I prayed as hard as I could and…

From A Branding Point Of View, “Christian” Is Kinda Spent; Followers Of Jesus Need A New Name
I’ll own it — a born atheist has no business telling Christians anything about their brand. Except, Christianity — being a sales-based religion (“Hey, have ya heard the ‘good news’ style proselytizing started with Paul, the actual inventor of Christianity) — relies almost entirely on how it’s perceived by others. After all, isn’t the point…

Why Do They Even Call It “Christianity” When Their Religion Has Nothing To Do With Jesus & Never Did…
I’ll confess right here — lifetime atheist though I am, I am also a big time fan of Jesus. I don’t know for sure if a historical Jesus ever existed but someone like the character depicted in the New Testament seems to have put forward a teaching — “Do Unto Others” — drawn directly from…

No, SCOTUS — A Cross Is Not (And Can NEVER Be) “Secular” In Any Way – BECAUSE Of Its History
The Supreme Court just came down 7-2, allowing a 40-foot World War I memorial in the shape of a Christian cross to remain standing in Maryland. The American Humanist Association had sued Maryland; they wanted the state to replace the cross (erected in 1925 as a memorial to 49 local residents who died) with something…

There’s A Huge Honkin’ Difference Between Being “Spiritual” & Being “Religious”
Even a stone cold atheist can feel profound awe as he or she stares up at the stars. Atheists especially understand the scale — tiny human on a rock at the far edges of a galaxy in the middle of a billion galaxies feeling both his insignificance in the greater scheme of things while also…

Wanna Know What America’s Problem REALLY Is? White Man BAMBOOZLEMENT Syndrome
Yesterday, Senate Majority Leader — and traitor — Mitch McConnell got up on the Senate floor to give his “final thoughts” on The Mueller Report. Despite the fact that everyone in the whole world capable of reading English could see with their own eyes that Mitch was LYING about the Report’s conclusions, Mitch said —…

It Sucks Being Hated. It Sucks More When The Reason You’re Hated Is Entirely Based On Fiction
It sucks when the thing at the end of “I hate you because…” is bullshit. I’m a yid. A kike. A sheeny. I grew up part of a hated community. As a kid, you ask the obvious question — “But WHY do they hate me (never mind us)?” The answer you get back isn’t satisfying…
