Follow Friday: Theist Edition

Frankie's egg

Frankie’s egg

Happy Friday Unbelievers! I hope all my American readers had a wonderful holiday and are now trying to work of 5000 calories and a hangover.

This week, I want you to follow some theists I love. I know, I know, you’re probably thinking you might get preached at or damned to Hell. With these guys though, it’s just not the case. I have always maintained that I don’t care if you’re religious, so long as you do not expect your beliefs to trickle into government policy, nor judge others for arbitrary things in your holy book, or push it on anyone who may see things differently. These 3 people are exactly what I think people with spiritual beliefs should be: open-minded, accepting, caring, compassionate, funny, relaxed and not pushy in the least.

I’ll start with Frankie. Frankie is a wonderful Catholic woman who has the sense of humour of a drunken porn star. She’s crude, hilarious and truly a caring person. She lent an enormous hand when we ran the #FreeMubark campaign and is constantly willing to help with any human rights and freedom from religion issues we’re hawking at any given moment. She’s incredibly open-minded and smart and I guarantee tons of laughs if you follow her:

Next, and another hilarious one, is Quinton. He’s an up and coming comedian who’s stand up I have been demanding he put on YouTube for a long time now, so maybe you can help. He is a Christian, but I think he has a thing for atheist women cause he spends most of his Twitter time chatting us up 😉 Of course, it’s in a completely respectable, mostly hilarious, and truly friendly way. Q is a sweet and caring man and you won’t be disappointed if you follow him… even his Twitter handle is funny:

@WTFQdiddy

Finally, this girl from Texas is sweet and compassionate and I wouldn’t doubt she’d offer help with anything in any way she possibly could, no questions asked. Jamie Velasco is also a blogger, a Christian and a gorgeous young woman. She helped me find some amazing Texas BBQ recipes, which she says are pretty authentic. I highly recommend following this awesome young woman:

G’day Sheilas & Blokes, This week I want to introduce you to some Australian people who are true blue additions to the atheist community. The first is MrOzAtheist – this guy is a tweeter extraordinaire and a source of some seriously thought-provoking and laugh-inducing stuff. This Melbourne-based Aussie has been consistently supportive of all the bleeding-heart endeavours I take on, helping by getting lots of eyes on #FreeMubarak and #School4Mubarak and more. He’s definitely someone you want to

Follow Friday: Bravery & Generosity Edition

Happy Friday Unbelievers! A couple of notes before I get started:1. My site was the target of a brute force attack and everything crashed twice. So, I have taken some steps to fix it all, including adding the new comment system, Disqus. Things should be faster and functioning now, still some bugs are needing to be ironed out though. Please bear with me.2. I’ve added two sections to my site, which are functional now for the most part. Up above in the menu, you’ll see Memes – this is where I will

Follow Friday: A Great Tweeter, A Skeptic YouTuber & A Group Of Awesome Canadians

Friday came out of nowhere this week, didn’t it? I’m not complaining, I love a good Friday, but I feel like I didn’t get anything done this week. Ever feel like that? Sigh.Before I get started, I just wanted to thank you all for your continued support of this hobby of mine. It’s really blown me away, the response I’ve gotten, and I can’t express easily how much it all means to me. Really. You people are truly amazing and I hope you all have the absolute best heathen weekend possible.This week,

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

Happy Friday Heathens! This week has been incredible. I posted my first video last week about my new Patreon campaign and I’ve had nothing but positive response, even though it was literally thrown together at the last minute on a Friday night. You can check that out by clicking here. I had such a positive response that I am working pretty hard on making some vids for you guys (SO NOT MY FORTE) in the near future. I’ve even had my hubs write me a punk rock intro, which Atheist Andy has sung the
