The God of Abraham’s not a shit,
He’s just a myth that doesn’t fit,
The modern world because we know
Too much.
I wondered how I could have been so blind
Genocide and slavery
Gaslighting and rape
All sanctioned, even ordered
By this God of perfect love
Arbitrary punishments
Capricious twists of fate
Hypocrisy, failed prophecy,
Sadism and hate!
The devaluing of woman
Only useful when they breed
A receptacle for callous
Selfish men to sew their seed
And I realised in trembling fear
Shredding many a heartfelt tear
That this hateful God was far from good
No one with integrity could
Support its vile crimes
My discussion about faith, atheism, mental health, evolution and nursing with Robert Shaw
The Unshaw podcast discusses faith, atheism, religiosity and a whole lot more besides. In this episode Robert Shaw (no, not THAT Robert Shaw) and I discuss mental health, faith and deconversion, politics and even evolutionary psychology.

Ryan Matus is a presuppositional, Calvinist Christian. He’s no fool and he certainly knows scripture. This online conversation was one of the most interesting and enjoyable I can remember and I’m certainly looking forward to talking more with Ryan.
There’s a real problem with #faith in #Christianity but that’s not the only issue. Self-censorship is the underlying problem.

If you want to experience the peace that passeth all understanding – you’ll find it much easier to achieve through secular means.
Christians promise an indwelling peace, ‘the peace of the spirit’ when people submit themselves the their Lord, Jesus. It’s this promise of peace that prompts them to claim that atheists are miserable. There’s only one problem – it’s nonsense. I spent 10 years trying to find that peace and I can tell you – it’s a lie.
But don’t despair. If you want to experience the peace that passeth all understanding – you’ll find it much easier to achieve through secular means. Try this instead…
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.
