The Wicked Evils Of Morality
•
Fuck morality. I love saying that straight into your half deaf ears. I cannot see myself as someone who is not the best. And if you are cooler, richer, funnier, then fine, I am more moral. So fuck you. Morality is nothing more than a justification for tyranny. It allows…

The Insanity of Belief: Religion, the Void, and Jesus Christ
•
Religion is not just a belief system. It is a shared agreement about reality. About two thousand years ago, a little less, Jesus Christ was dying on the cross. He said, “My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me.” Time itself changed. We still sit here now, doing our…

Armageddon: The Battle Of Men vs Women
•
One thing we all love: war. And war we will have. So much for sweethearts. Oh, the love we could have if… if men were not so demanding. Or women were not so emotional. Being a man isn’t easy. So I figured being a woman must be. That was my…

Religion Is Dying. But Something Much Greater Is Waking Up
•
A call for humanity to rise beyond the God of yesterday and step into our own power. In order to truly know that you are following the correct path, you have to consider the possibility that you are wrong. And in order to consider the possibility that you are wrong,…

Never Leave Your Religion Unless You Can Suffer This Consequence
•
When you’re struggling, people assume you’re wrong. They might even tell you so. “Look at your dating life—it’s terrible.” “How can you not believe in Joseph Smith?” “All you guys have thought about suicide—what a path away from God!” I hear it from FLDS members, from people who only half-left,…

Celestial Bullshit: Why I’m So Pissed at Mormons Right Now
•
I’m glad you’re here, because I am feeling really strongly about this right now and I feel like saying something serious—while also wanting to boot some people in the pants and yell at them with both my hands up to my mouth so they understand what I am really trying…

Born from the Universe, or Made to Rule It?
•
Humans have come to control the earth. And now, we want to reach beyond it—into space, into the galaxy, even across the Milky Way if we could. And maybe we will. After all, we control more than ever before. But that raises a deeper question—one we rarely ask directly: Are…

You’re Going to Die. Here’s What to Do About It.
•
One thing life guarantees is death. Every religion focuses on preparing us to live beyond this veil. That question—what happens after death—was what I struggled with deeply as I considered leaving my religion and my long-held beliefs about becoming a God. Until I asked myself this: When has anyone ever…
