Follow Friday: The Atheist Codger, Free Speech & Homeschooling

It’s Friday! I’ve got beer chilling in my fridge, watching the seconds tick by until the hour reaches a more “appropriate” beer-drinking hour than 9:30am. I am going to hit that couch so hard and binge-watch the Mr. Robot episodes I’m behind on like they’re paying me in Sleeman’s Original Draught to do it. No bars, no theater, no clubs… It’s just me, the chilled beer, Godless Dad and some Rami Malek.

So this week, I want you to subscribe to and follow The Atheist Codger – this fella reads from the Bible on a frequent basis, and gives you his perspective on it as an atheist. He also talks a lot about where he came from and his fundamentalist Christian background, and he loves to expose his viewers to classical music. He’s got a great accent, and is a very clear, to-the-point talker who comes across as well-read, well-educated and informed. Here he is talking about fundamentalist Christianity:

He’s like the enchanting, storytelling Granddad everyone wants. You will not be disappointed with this sub.

Next, you have to check out Wendy McClelland, who is a champion of free speech. Another fellow atheist, Wendy is very outspoken on twitter about issues that affect the secular world, mental health and freedom of speech. Follow Wendy: @wendyweb47

For parents who are considering homeschooling, but are afraid that all the resources out there are for religious homeschooling, you should check out Secular Homeschool on Facebook. It’s an enormous community of homeschoolers who share resources that have nothing to do with any particular religion. They put together a calendar of homeschooling events, sales and workshops that are geared toward a secular education at home. Homeschooling moms and dads everywhere will love this page. Like it here: Secular Home School

If you want to be featured in a future Follow Friday, email me and let me know: mommy@godlessmom.com

Enjoy your Friday, heathens!

Follow Friday: A Nigerian Unbeliever, Mr. Doe and The Atheist Minority

Happy Friday free thinkers!Before we get started on looking at some of my favourite online people, I wanted to remind you that I started a Patreon yesterday. You can see the ad for it in my sidebar promising you a dryer sheet in the mail. That’s just one of the super fun rewards you can get. You can also Skype me with video and I will stare at you, scowling, flipping the bird, saying nothing until you, unable to handle it anymore, exclaim, “You’re not normal, Courtney” and hang up.You know, fres

H-hello? Hi guys… *sheepish grin*. Happy Friday. I know I’ve been posting some depressing shit lately, and I just wanted to apologize. I chose the moving words of Forrest Gump to do this, so as he said, “Sorry I ruined your Black Panther party”. I think that says it all, no? Sometimes we have to talk about the not so pleasant as atheists. Face facts and be grown ups about it. I hope you still love me…Here are some incredible people and groups I love, and I think you should follow them.The first

Atheist Absurdities: Yes, This Man Is Actually Free To Roam Without His Big Boy Pants

Welcome to the Carnival, heretics. I barely survived this one.What I’ve just read was such an assault on my mind, that I actually had to take a break while writing what follows so as not to actually contract the stupid seeping from this Fox Nation article by Ben Carson. Ben Carson is not only a grade A skeeball prize, he should be in fucking solitary at Sing Sing. The man is not well, not in any sense of the word.Ben’s horseshit tirade about the military removing Bibles from their hotel rooms by
