Every Atheist Needs: A Signed Copy of A Universe From Nothing

Lawrence Krauss' Signature

Lawrence Krauss’ Signature

I was waiting on posting this one for an article to come out about Mubarak’s situation, but it seems to never have materialized so I’ll post it now. As you know, a while back, we held a contest to raise funds and awareness so we could get Mubarak out of Nigeria. Mubarak is an atheist who was beaten, drugged and detained for saying he doesn’t believe in God. We were raising funds to get him out of Nigeria because it was unsafe. Unfortunately, we did not raise quite enough and he is still there. He cannot get a job or go to school as life out in the open for him is far too dangerous.

The contest ended with one of our favorite theist Twitter friends winning. Frankie, who has a huge heart, and has been supportive of this cause from day one, decided to donate her winnings back to us so we can raise some money with them.

So, today, I’ll launch the auction to grab yourself a signed copy of a Universe From Nothing by Lawrence Krauss. It’s the perfect time to grab this – imagine giving it to your favourite Krauss fan for Christmas.

This auction will start at $20 USD, and if you want to bid, send me an email at mommy@godlessmom.com with the amount you want to bid. I will keep this running for a week, and keep the highest bid amount on this page. Next Monday morning at 8am PST is the deadline. Proceeds will be forwarded to Mubarak, who is still in Nigeria and still in danger.

Good luck!

Highest bid:

$160

Every Atheist Needs: A Break

I am a writer.I may not be the best writer. I may not even be a writer you like. I could be the worst writer you’ve ever come across…I shit the bed at grammar. Sometimes I overlook typos in an eagerness to finish up. I write run-ons and streams of consciousnesses that would horrify any literature professor.I get comments and emails and tweets that tell me I suck. I get called names and am picked apart by all types.Sometimes, I hate my own fucking writing.Sometimes, I read what I posted and crin

Every Atheist Needs: American Jesus

If you’re not a fan of the greatness that is Bad Religion, you’re probably cocking your head right now, going, “dafuq, Mom? Why do we need Jesus?”. You can relax, because you don’t. What you need is American Jesus. American Jesus is a brilliant song by the punk band Bad Religion.The band is fronted by Dr. Greg Graffin, who’s Ph.D. dissertation was titled, “Evolution, Monism, Atheism, and the Naturalist World-View: Perspectives from Evolutionary Biology”.

Every Atheist Needs: An Astronaut’s Guide To Life On Earth

If you don’t remember the time Chris Hadfield spent on the International Space Station, you had to either have had your head bent in prayer or you were binge watching Lost, for which you are forgiven. That ending tho…Hadfield, my fellow Canadian, single-handedly revived our fascination with space as we waited every day for his next photo of Earth from the cupola of the Space Station. We watched for our city or town and were blown away by how small everything looked in every single shot. He trie

Every Atheist Needs: Angels In America

This is, quite literally, the single most brilliant show I’ve ever seen. It’s more than outstanding, it goes beyond what anyone could describe as great. It transcends what you ever thought television was capable of. The acting, the subject matter, the sets and effects, it simply rises above the medium and shakes you to your core.Angels in America is an HBO television miniseries that aired in 2003. It was adapted from the play by Tony Kushner. It stars Al Pacino, Meryl Streep, Emma Thompson, Mary
