Cancer is a ‘judgment from God?’
Some demented Christians are claiming, of course, that my cancer is “God’s judgment.” Unfortunately for these utter idiots, most cancer cases in the United States are occurring in CHRISTIANS, so are they also being judged by God? But thanks for demonstrating once again what a horrible and unloving “god” you follow! Torturing those who don’t believe […]

Health update
UPDATE: I have cancelled the MRI with the contrasting agent gadolinium after more careful consideration of potential side effects and the experiences of others, as well as the warning on the website insideiradiology.com.au: Gadolinium contrast medium should be avoided in patients with reduced kidney function or kidney failure (either chronic or acute), and hepatorenal syndrome […]

Tempest stele is NOT an account of the Bible’s 10 plagues story
In the video below is yet more unscientific nonsense from the PT Barnum of religion, filmmaker Simcha Jacobovici, who hasn’t met a myth he couldn’t turn into history or an artifact he couldn’t fudge to fit the Bible. As I demonstrate in my book Did Moses Exist? The Myth of the Israelite Lawgiver, despite such […]
Bible-abuse victim: ‘I’m a psychic slave to religion out of fear’
I received the following message from an individual obviously in severe distress. He asked me for help in overcoming Bible abuse that had left him crippled with fear for decades. I sent him a copy of my book The Gospel According to Acharya S, which can serve as a bridge to my more scholarly works […]
Ex-Muslim: ‘Fear of hell and the death penalty for apostasy kept me from leaving Islam’
(Editor: The following is from a young Pakistani ex-Muslim who wishes to remain anonymous. It is reprinted here with his permission.) I just wanted to reach out and say thank you for the work you are doing. I’m an ex-Muslim atheist, meaning I read the Quran and hadith and left the religion. You are one […]
What does the Koran say about Jews?
Here is a long list of passages in the Koran/Quran about Jews – they are not loving. There is more Jew-hatred in the hadiths and sunnah. (Not vetted – feel free to point out possible errors in the comments below.) Qur’an 2:61 “Humiliation and wretchedness were stamped on the Jews and they were visited with […]
Ex-Muslim imam: ‘I wasted a significant part of my life believing in this load of crap’
(Editor: An ex-Muslim from Fiji posted the following comments on an article here, The Islamic State, apostasy and ‘real Muslims.’ ) I am an ex-Muslim with a seriously long axe to grind. I was born into a Muslim home. As the eldest child I was supposed to carry the religious ideals of the home, and before […]
The Islamic State, apostasy and ‘real Muslims’
Many people today deny that the violent and fanatical Islamic State or ISIL/ISIS is actually Islamic. Appalled by its horrendous crimes against humanity, political and religious leaders and members of the public alike have been scrambling to claim that “the Islamic State isn’t really Islamic.” Muslims who deny ISIL’s members as “real Muslims” are engaging […]
Rabbi: Did Jesus actually exist?
Below is a talk by “countermissionary” and “Jewish apologist” Rabbi Tovia Singer regarding “Jesus mythicism” or the opinion that Jesus Christ is a mythical figure. Initially, I thought Singer would adhere to the typical “historical Jesus” party line, proffering “proofs” that have been rebutted for centuries. I was pleasantly surprised at certain parts as I […]
What people are saying about the work of D.M. Murdock/Acharya S
Over the decades that I’ve been writing about and teaching what is called “Jesus mythicism,” many educated people who have studied my work have made supportive comments. While my detractors like to toss out defamatory claims, the one thing most of them have in common is that they have never read my work and are […]
Dutch theologian and banned pastor: ‘Christ in Egypt’ is a ‘fantastic book!’
A Dutch theologian who was banned recently from appearing in a local Reform Church for saying that Jesus is a myth drawn from Egyptian religion has stated that he has studied my book Christ in Egypt: The Horus-Jesus Connection. Rev. Dr. Edward van der Kaaij ruffled many feathers when he publicly avowed what is called […]
The King and the God: Telling tales in Proto-Indo-European
I’m such a nerd. I’m fascinated with listening to this Proto-Indo-European reconstruction and with reading the accompanying text, figuring out which words are what. The date for this hypothesized language’s spread from the Russian Steppes to Ireland would be about 8,000 to 3,000 years ago. Amazingly, there are some recognizable words in Proto-Indo-European (“PIE”), such […]
The belief Jesus was “pure spirit” was prevalent in early Christian history
“For many deceivers have gone out into the world, men who will not acknowledge the coming of Jesus Christ in the flesh; such a one is the deceiver and the antichrist.” 2 John 1:7 (RSV) “By this you know the Spirit of God: every spirit which confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh […]
What is a mythicist?
Just as declaring oneself an atheist does not make one automatically an expert in religion, seeing Jesus as a myth does not make someone an automatic expert in Christian origins. There are many people calling themselves “mythicists” – i.e., someone who views various biblical/supernatural figures as mythical, not historical – who are not experts in […]
Jesus passage in Josephus a forgery in toto, says Greek expert
I have written a review of the important paper “A Narrative Anomaly in Josephus” by linguist Dr. Paul J. Hopper concerning the so-called Testimonium Flavianum or “Jesus passage” in the works of ancient Jewish historian Josephus. Since this brief passage in Josephus is held up widely by Christian apologists as the “best evidence” of a […]
Radio/video program on Bible, Moses, Exodus, religion and myth!
Here’s the Youtube recording of our conversation at “Beyond the Trailer Park” on January 21, 2015. I explain quite a bit about ancient religion, mythology, the Bible, Moses and the Exodus!
Moses discussion with Aron Ra of American Atheists-TX
UPDATE: Aron has promoted my book at the beginning of his video discussing the 10 Commandments and Christian commentator Dennis Prager: Here’s the Youtube video of my discussion on November 20, 2014 with Aron Ra of American Atheists-TX and Mark Nebo of BeSecular.com. In the caption on the video, Aron relates: “Previously I have interviewed […]
Bart Ehrman errs again – this time about virgin births
In a blog from December 2014, New Testament scholar and ex-evangelical Christian Bart Ehrman tries his hand at comparative religion and mythology, which is clearly not his forté. Indeed, Ehrman demonstrates abundantly his non-expertise in the subject by making blatantly false claims, so we must wonder why he is pretending to be an expert? After […]
