• We Still Live In What Carl Sagan Called “The Demon Haunted World”

  Occasionally, I write horror movies for a living. I don’t see the Bible as a book of religious inspiration, I see it as a launching pad for horror movies. In my career, I’ve worked with both Billy Friedkin (director of “The Exorcist”) and Richard Donner (director of “The Omen”); those are two of the biggest…

• A War On Christmas? More Like Christmas Declared War On US!

  When you first enter the world famous “Pantheon Of Nonsense”, one of the first rooms you come to (and how can you miss it, there’s so much light coming from it?) is one marked “The War On Christmas”. Inside, the room feels both enormous and yet crushingly small; it’s such a massive complaint about nothing.…

• If You Haven’t Sampled The Faitheism Project Podcast, This Is A Good One To Sample

• The 3 Words That Make Me An Atheist: “I Don’t Know”

  “I have always been grateful to Hebrew School for making me the atheist I am today”. That’s how I sign on to “The Faitheism Project Podcast” that I do every week with my good friend the Reverend Randy Lovejoy. In fairness, I’m pretty sure I dropped from the womb an “unbeliever”.
