Holy Shit, that’s in the Bible???

This will be an ongoing series. When I started searching for my first batshit crazy Bible verse, I decided to pick an uncommon WTF verse. I could’ve started with the story of the 2 bears eating 42 children for teasing a bald prophet, but I wanted to choose a lesser known verse. So, here we […]

Thou Shall Not Fuck or Kill Children

Which of the three major religious holy books actually has a commandment banning the harm or abuse of children? Christianity? Judaism? Islam? Am I wrong to think that should be an important commandment (along with rape, slavery…)? Christianity? Hell no, just ask the Catholic church. Judaism? Nope…when God commanded Moses and others to pillage towns, […]

Rant #1- “You shouldn’t hate anything”

While I sarcastically praised the country singer performing during a Thanksgiving Day football game halftime show, my father-in-law said, “You know, you shouldn’t be so critical of country music. You shouldn’t hate anything…I don’t hate anything.” By the way, […]

Suspension of Reason and Critical Thinking

“Fundies” refers to religious fundamentalists of any religion- Christianity, Islam, Judaism, to name a few. It blows my mind how educated people can suspend reason, critical thinking, and the scientific method and actually believe the Noah story in the Old Testament is fact. While reading an article about newly VP-elect Mike Pence, my mother-in-law balked […]

Who I Am and What to Expect

I am a 40-something-year-old special education teacher living in the DM(V). I attend Atheist conventions and consider myself to be an active atheist. A few of my favorite things- my wife and son, teaching and learning, craft beer (especially dark beer), books, music, classic movies, profanity, and stimulating conversation. I try to be open-minded, so […]
