The Latest From Godless Mom...

This is secular living with a pulse: sweat, appetite, style, thought, beauty, decent lighting, a kitchen that gets wrecked on purpose, and a mind that stays gloriously unbound with bullshit. We write about evidence-based wellness, fitness, culture, sustainable living, philosophy, and how to build a life so honest and fucking good that no sermon, no guru, and no smug little deity could ever compete with it.

Why Ben Affleck Is Wrong

Ben AffleckIt’s funny, Ben looks exactly like my brother and seeing him so passionately argue on TV makes me want to sympathize and defend the guy, because he looks like my fucking brother. The fact cannot be changed, though: Ben is wrong.First, I think it’s important to note that Ben’s heart is clearly in a good place. He dislikes hatred and bigotry and racism and that’s something to be commended. The problem is not necessarily Ben himself, but our culture of “don’t-upset-anyone” politically co

Dutch Comedian Insults Islam, Only Gets Funnier When Confronted About It

Yeah, I already posted today, I know! This was too awesome not share with you folks though. The best soundbite I took from this is,“Do you think that when I put on the TV, I don’t see things that annoy me? That I don’t feel insulted now and then? But one develops a shield to deal with these things. That’s what you do in a free society, because you’re inevitably confronted with things you don’t like. The religious are very bad at this because they tend to believe they have a monopoly on the truth

Finally! Someone Explains The True Meaning Of Marriage & Why Homosexuals Shouldn’t Have I

It wasn’t until I became an outspoken atheist blogger, that I spent so much time writing about sex. In response to endless, blathering blog posts and articles by Christians and Catholics who seem beyond obsessed with the act, I have written dozens upon dozens of rants on the topic. Prior to Godlessmom.com, I hardly ever wrote about sex, because, well, you know us atheists and our preference to actually have sex over chatting about it, and not having the need to get up in everyone else’s sex life

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
