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.

One Dozen Reasons To Leave Homophobia Behind You

Jeez, he’s not even cute.Imagine a world where we are all the same. We dress the same, we talk the same, we watch all the same movies and have the same interests. We all have the same color skin and the same taste in music. We all believe the same thing brought us into being, and we all believe in the exact same post-death scenario. Imagine we all love soccer, and hate basketball and only drink crantinis and are allergic to eggs. Imagine we all wear our hair the same way and we all look pretty a

Every Atheist Needs: Waking Up by Sam Harris

Boy! You think you a know a person (from reading tweets), and then they go and write something so beautifully surprising and delightfully different. The atheist community has some amazing authors, and Sam Harris is definitely already one of them, but nothing has been written like this before. Nothing.First, the style. This could have easily been a dry book with no personality and and an intense snooze-factor, but with Sam’s intelligent wit and frequent use of openly honest personal stories, this

Follow Friday: Southern Skeptic, and Two Kickstarters

It’s Friday! You know what that means, heathens… in a few short hours, Godless Mom is gonna put on her lazy pants, drink a beer or two and fall asleep to the sweet nothings of Sam Harris laying the smack down during a debate with Deepak Choprah.

Married To A Fatass: What You Owe Your Spouse

There’s not much better for comic relief than marriage advice from a jeebanger. Here’s one who says we should probs not be fatties, because it shows we don’t care about our spouses.Sure. If you marry a jeebot.Before we take a closer look at her argument…Godless Mom got back. I have never been, and never will be, a stick. In my opinion, I have curves in all the right places, and it’s more often than not proven by my frequent use of the phrase, “Hey fucktard, the eyes are up here!”. My weight has

Take Off Your Panic Pants: Applying Reason To Parenting Paranoia

Godless Dad has a saying for when you might not be seeing a situation rationally and you tend to freak out a little more than it warrants: take off your panic pants. I dunno, I think because he’s a red-blooded hetero man, it may just mean he wants to see some rational panties, but it’s pretty effective at bringing people back into the land of calm reason. I think there are a lot of parents out there who need to take off their panic pants and pack them away in the attic. Some parents just don’t s

Every Atheist Needs: Shelley Segal

I first came across Shelley on launch day of Atheist TV. She’d made an appearance at the Reason Rally, which was the first thing broadcast on the channel. I listened to this Aussie singer/songwriter get up and belt out lyrics that would make any atheist’s heart swell. I was in love with the music. Shelley’s tunes are definitely indie/folk sounding tunes, but I love that some of them have a hint of reggae in them. She both plays the guitar and sings on all of her songs, and she’s also credited wi

My 5 Pet Peeves As An Atheist

So, I dug up my old Flip cam which I thought was broken, and found out that it is not broken at all. As such, I was able to make you a way better quality video. I’m still finding my way around this YouTube thing, so any pointers you may have are very much appreciated. The song was written by my husband especially for me and we are still working on vox, since neither of us are all that great at it. I did write lyrics though and they go something like this:my mom is going to hell
