What is sharia or Islamic law? Sharia law is followed by millions of people in Islam-dominant countries. Below are the popular elements of sharia law purportedly ordained by Islamic holy writings, including the Quran and sahih hadiths, as asserted by many Muslim authorities over the centuries. Although the law differs from one Muslim country to [...]
Excerpted from the essay/ebook: “Believing the Unbelievable” by Barbara G. Walker Why are human beings so frequently prone to believing the unbelievable, trusting the improbable, being convinced by the very eccentricity of the impossible? As a species, we seem to want marvels and miracles more than facts. This might account for the almost assured success [...]
My forum mod’s put together a post on the pagan parallels to the “life of Christ” constantly bandied about around the internet. In my book The Christ Conspiracy, published in 1999, I included several lists of parallels from the “lives” of various pagan gods and heroes. These parallels lists have been reproduced all over the [...]
So, you really believe that a possible “Creator” of this enormous cosmos is obsessed with puny little human beings on a microscopic planet off to the side of one galaxy in a vast sea of universes? Note that the massive star in the image below, Antares – which so dwarfs OUR sun – is itself [...]
This whistleblower rabbi’s been battling against child sexual abuse within the Ultra-Orthodox Jewish community, which has been going on a long time. Naturally, the abusers are accusing HIM of wrongdoing such as being a “traitor.” Notice how they don’t blame THEMSELVES for their own evil behaviors. The Child-Rape Assembly Line: In Ritual Bathhouses of the [...]

Time and again, devotees prove that religious fanaticism causes sociopathic behaviors, including intense human-hatred, misogyny and violence. The hatred and bile with which religious fanatics attack those who question, critique or reject the ideology they follow are relentless and depraved. This sociopathic behavior in defense of an unfeeling ideology often borders on and carries over [...]
This is really an amazingly beautiful story that I could watch over and over again. I love the little child’s comments at the end. Oh yes, you must watch all the way to the end, or you will miss the most moving part of the tale.
UPDATE: Here is the link to Mythicist Milwaukee, where they’ve got the MP3 of my radio program online. Note that Alan worked as an attorney, so he has a unique style in “interrogating” his guests. Also, note that he chimes in quite a bit. Overall, it was a pleasant and interesting show, I think. I [...]

Today’s inspirational Bible quote: “He lays the beams of his chambers on the waters; he makes the clouds his chariot; he rides on the wings of the wind…” Who can see the solar and meteorological imagery here? It is obvious that the biblical god Yahweh is a combination of numerous Sumero-Semitic and Egyptian deities and [...]
Over the years, much has been made of the fact that American president Barack Obama was born to a Muslim father and attended a Muslim school in Indonesia. Those who object to the “Obama is a Muslim” meme point to the fact that he also attended a Catholic school in Indonesia, was raised by an [...]
A new anti-mythicist rant by biased New Testament scholar Maurice Casey is due to be released in January: Jesus: Evidence and Argument or Mythicist Myths? I’m betting this book either contemptuously ignores my work or misrepresents it in a string of ad hominem attacks and fallacies. I’m also betting that I’ve addressed a significant portion [...]
The word “ummah” is used within Islam to describe the global community of Muslims. This term is derived from the ancient Semitic word um or umm, meaning “MOTHER” and “thus hints at the ideal mother-child relationship.” This fact of the word connoting MOTHERHOOD is betrayed by the abject mistreatment of females within this ideology. It [...]
Very moving! Yesterday’s events in DC with hundreds of thousands to possibly a million or more patriotic American bikers descending on Washington, DC, to make a statement about the assault against our freedoms were exciting and encouraging. (Note that the last slide here has last year’s date but the rest of the images are apparently [...]
I’ve been discussing Syria for some time on Facebook. Here is a recent exchange. Hector V. said: “I want to know your opinion of syria. DO you believe all this is a zionist conspiracy as they say? what do you think is the goal of the United states? what do you think will happen? thank [...]
Ah, the peace, love and tolerance! Here are some delightful sentiments that we should encourage spreading around the world! Why, oh why, are there violent religious fanatics attacking nonbelievers all over the globe?? [/sarc] “About sixty-one percent of the contents of the Koran are found to speak ill of the unbelievers or call for their [...]
It is very difficult to believe that the biggest cause of water pollution that leads to damaging the environment by increasing the temperatures of the oceans is in our homes and is very useful to us: It is soap and more specifically detergent soap. What is a detergent? Detergent is a surfactant, and it was [...]
The world is falling apart, so it’s hard to believe there are Christian fanatics trolling the internet, arguing about THIS subject. Regardless of any specifics, the point is that the concept of the VIRGIN MOTHER PROGENITOR OF THE COSMOS is very ancient and predates Christianity by many thousands of years. We are dealing with an [...]
