Atheists Coming Out Series In the coming weeks, we will be publishing testimonials from atheists all over the world who have experienced coming out as a non-believer to less-than-supportive family, friends, and other loved ones. In some cases, the people featured in this series will have been ostracized or rejected by fundamentalist peers. And, in [...]
Atheists are equal-opportunity disbelievers. We are often misunderstood as being anti-Christian, anti-Jew, anti-whatever. And while Godswill Ministries is anti-religion, atheism is not. Frequently and absurdly atheists are lumped into the same pile as devil worshippers or Satanists. The worship of devil-like creatures has been with mankind much longer than the modern religions of today. [...]
Outside The Pearly Gates, Heaven A visibly shaken and disturbed deity, God presented himself (“itself”, an unnamed source close to God corrected this reporter) for an unprecedented press conference this morning. From within a blinding light of never before seen intensity, the Almighty declared his frustration with humanity and, particularly, with the Republican candidates for [...]
My Dear Pastafarian, Just to clear things up… There is no Heaven and there is no Hell. Your actions, while making you look like a complete putz in front of your coworkers and most likely offending every catholic (bonus points!) you came into contact with, could never offend the imaginary Creator in the sky.

Dear Hater. First just let me share that I’ve been on this earth for many years and have met many people. From that multitude of encounters I’ve learned that what you are feeling is completely normal. As a rule people are little more than dumb animals doing what they were trained to do by [...]
Charles Darwin’s Theory of Natural Selection can be used to explain many of the otherwise inexplicable traits of modern humans from mate selection, to social interactions, and even child rearing. What many people don’t realize is that such a theory can also explain the sense of ‘morality’ among humans in absence of a theological (and [...]
I don’t claim to know an over-arching “Meaning of Life”, but I do operate under the understanding that life should not be lived under the pretense that it is simply a “test” propagated by an invisible, intangible, Creator-God. And it should not be spent identifying with religious traditions and organized groups that, historically, have been [...]
Dear Horny and Going to Hell, I had to meditate on your letter for a while. Firstly because it gave my dusty ole toy box a jump start. And secondly because I couldn’t right away figure out exactly what the problem was. I’m really old and miss my sex drive. Oh goodness, I could [...]
Modern Muslim apologists claim Islam isn’t anti-female. They claim the news reports of honor killings and the statistics about spousal abuse are overblown. They claim that, in modern developed Muslim countries, women are granted equal rights, and it is only in primitive “backwater” countries where women are treated badly. They explain that Islam itself doesn’t [...]
