This video summarizes the basics without any need for ghosts, Gods or ghoulies!
Christianity promised to teach me how to be contented in any circumstance. The church, its people and its mythical God broke that promise.
I’ve spent decades since working out how to live peacefully, happily and well. This video summarizes the basics without any need for ghosts, Gods or ghoulies!

All humans are irrational. We evolved that way.
All humans are irrational. We evolved that way.
If we hadn’t developed these tendencies to be irrational it’s doubtful that our species would ever have made it off the African Savannah. Actually it’s doubtful that we’d have evolved beyond some earlier species of quadruped, let alone primate or hominid.
But if we’re irrational, what on earth can we do about it? Click the link to find out!
Don’t take yourself too seriously.
If you want to be happy you first need to stop taking yourself too seriously. If others laugh at you it’s because there’s something funny. Find it – enjoy it – laugh at it.

Sometimes I just check into a hotel. It doesn’t need to be far away – that’s not the point.

It might even be just around the corner.
According to Christianity my honest inquiry will lead me to burn for all eternity!
Few propositions are quite so coercive as those threatening eternal torture as the price of disbelief.
According to Christianity. People like me who strive to leave the world better than we found it, who genuinely work to help others and who take the principle of ‘do no harm’ seriously will burn for all eternity.
And what’s our crime? What terrible abomination have we committed to deserve such a sadistic end?
We thought about the things we were told and we remained true to our honest conclusions.
It’s hard for mere mortals such as myself to fathom the depravity of a mind that thinks such a state of affairs would ever be, could ever be appropriate. And yet this, apparently is precisely the system created by the vicious God of Abraham… that psychopathic, egocentric sadist who seems to get off on the misery and suffering of others.
One way to discern the character of a human being is to see how they treat those who aren’t able to stand up for themselves – waiters and waitresses, shop assistants and other serving staff whose livelihoods depend upon treating the customer, even the abusive customer nicely. Those people who treat such workers badly are rightly judged to be arrogant, hateful and even bullying by the rest of us.
What then should we think of a torturer God? Ah yes, I forgot…
The ways of God are strange.
40 years ago I was approached by Christians. It was an unhappy time for me – I was 17 and had just split up with my first real love. I was desperate to feel a sense of belonging. In other words, I was ripe for harvest. The bastards got me.
Ten years later, having accepted young earth creationism, the inferiority of women and the bigotry of Christian homophobia to name just three of the travesties I accepted, I found myself reviewing it all. And once I allowed myself to think critically again the whole thing came crashing down – and so did my sense of self.
Christianity promised me a better life but all it really did was screw me up. This channel aims to help others avoid that trap with a blend of counter-apologetics, critical thinking skills and an alternative set of principles for a happy life – ones that actually work this time.
This stuff has been 30 years in the making so far. I hope you find it helpful.
