Help! We’re Living Inside A False Narrative & Can’t Get Out!
From the moment we “accepted” that Donald Trump had “won” the presidency, we’ve been living inside a False Narrative — that Donald Trump won. The implications have been devastating. From the get-go, Trump himself has defensively knee-jerked the word “legitimate” into the conversation. As in “No collusion, my presidency’s legitimate!” If Trump wasn’t a serial…

An Atheist’s Easter Sermon: Why REALITY Matters More Than Ooga-Booga
Christmas is a pagan holiday redirected. For all its “holiness”, all its fanciful storytelling about Wise Men from the East and stars that shine above spots on a planet light years away from them, Christmas still celebrates something; it’s a happy holiday. Easter, on the other hand, is about Christianity’s core message: “Jesus died (but…

True Fact: I’m An Atheist Who Loves Churches
I’m always fond of saying (or selling t-shirts that say) “I am grateful to Hebrew School for making me the atheist I am today” (the t-shirts also have “…grateful to Sunday School…” & “…grateful to Sunday School…” versions because I’m all about being inclusive).

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…

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…

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…

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…

My Jesus Can Beat Up Your Jesus
I bet the ‘liturgy’ in ‘republican churches’ is lovely although it all sounds exactly like the “Money” by the Flying Lizards The best things in life are free But you can give them to the birds and bees I want money That’s what I want No doubt the republicans also believe that THEIR Jesus can…
