Whoops, meant to publish this last night, but my internet connection was crappy. So here it is a bit late! Revelation 1: “The information in the book you are about to read is more up to date than tomorrow’s newspaper. I can say this with confidence because the facts and predictions in the next few [...]

People often assume that atheists have never read the Bible despite the fact that many have. The next time someone says this to me, I am going to explode. I have read the Bible, but so what? How many of those hypocrites that deny evolution have ever read Darwin’s Origin of Species? I can guarantee [...]

I think I am going to change the title of my blog from “Redheaded Skeptic: Notes on the Journey from Minister’s Wife to Atheist” to “Redheaded Skeptic: Notes from an Adult Atheist Living with Christian Parents.” My parents live in a small town. This time, I am going to be a little smarter and not [...]

Okay, I confess, I peeked ahead a little last week when I was trying to figure out whether or not Jesus’ disciples actually followed his instructions. He does send them off, but not to cities, and reading ahead, I realized something: I don’t like Jesus. At least, I don’t like Matthew’s perspective of Jesus. It’s [...]

Wow, so according to the poll, most of you do like WNBS! For the few who didn’t, I’m sorry! Just don’t visit the blog on Wednesdays! Or make a comment if there is anything I could do that would help you like them better. So we will continue! And if they ever get old or [...]

My tattoo is based on a quote that says, “Don’t be afraid of death, but rather the unlived live. You don’t have to live forever, you just have to live.” I love this quote (obviously!). Death isn’t scary. Eternal life is scary. Living your life to the fullest should be your goal. There is a [...]

Goshdarnit, I had another moment. I haven’t had one in awhile. I don’t even remember the last one. My own damn fault for getting carried away in some ministry blogs/Facebook notes. They make everything look okay. Like life turned out just fine for them, and it probably did. Are they honest? I couldn’t tell, but [...]

Last week, I got through Matthew 5:20. Today, I am going to wrap up Chapter 5 and see how far I get in under 1500 words. Matthew 5:21-48 I have decided that I don’t need Richard Dawkins to be an atheist. The Bible itself, when examined without an emotional lens, makes no sense. And is [...]

When I write a guest post somewhere or someone else links back to my blog, I don’t usually discuss it unless it’s relevant to another post (like my Hanukkah post). I will post it on Twitter, but I try not to toot my own horn too much (not that it’s a big horn. It’s actually [...]

I love Christmas! Some atheists don’t like it because of modern religious connotations and some Christians don’t think atheists should celebrate either, but really everyone complains about how secularized it has become. I don’t have a problem with a tree and presents. Plus, my parents tried to suppress Halloween, and it didn’t work too well. [...]
