There are all types of factories in the world, many are useful and make our lives easier and more productive, but some are not only far from necessary or useful, they are deleterious to our health. I want to talk about one such factory, one I like to call “The Guilt Factory.” Religion, 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. [...]

A few hundred years ago, during the time when slaves were still being transported from their native West Africa, many of them brought their religion with them. They worshipped nature along with a number of saintly figures they referred to as Orishi. Today, we call that religion Santeria. When the slaves were brought to Cuba, [...]

IN AMERICA, MOST PEOPLE IDENTIFY with the Christian religion…yet I am not convinced that those “adherents” a) know what it means to be a Christian and understand the historical and metaphorical baggage that comes with such a label, and b) actually follow the biblical teachings associated with the religion. My interest in the field of [...]

I knew this Catholic school girl who believed that anal sex was not violating the Church’s rules on premarital sex.  She therefore declared that she was technically a “virgin.”  Perhaps the technicalities of virginity is an argument best answered by our own Sister Mary Motherfucker: http://godswillchurch.com/ask-sister-mary-motherfucker/ The same tired argument is repeated by atheists: “there were all sorts [...]

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 [...]

There are very few people I despise more than Deepak Chopra.  He convinces his impressionable followers of pseudoscience and makes millions in the process.  Cal-Tech theoretical physicist professor Leonard Mlodinow just so happens to be in the audience and brings the crowd back to reality.   Join the forum discussion on this post

  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 [...]

In order to prepare for Yom Kippur, some Jewish families ritualistically transfer their “sins” to a chicken by waving it around their head 3 times. This practice is called Kapparos. They then slaughter the chickens and donate them to needy families. Nothing tastes better than a sinner chicken at a pre-Yom Kippur feast. Mmm mmm [...]
