The True Hockey Stick
Believer in the new religion of AGW, anthropogenic global warming or climate change will be sick of having their science based faith mocked and their scientist priests ridiculed. To help them hold to their belief we offer a change to own a fragment of the true hockey stick, the sacred symbol of their religion.

The Craziest Doomsday Cult Ever?
America is known as the spiritual home of crackpot religions. There are hundreds of tree worshipping churches, people who pull snakes out of each others' arses, Old Testament goat shaggers and post modernist computer worshippers. People seem to be so needful any control freak with a world domination complex can set up a religion or cult, find some followers who will hail this person as the prophet of their faith, lead the poor saps into the mountains or desert and turn formerly straightlaced people into enthusiastic Jesus loving debauchees. And so long as they invoke God or Jesus often enough nobody seems to mind. They are a bit more suspicious of Hindu's Buddhists, Pagans and other no Abrahamic belief systems. At least not until the kool aid has been handed round and it is all too late...

Barack Obama, The Electric Monk and the Museum Of Creation

In America the collapse of the economy, the inexorable rise of unemployment and the hostility of developing nations to President Obama's climate change proposals have so far failed to dent the belief of Obama's rabid supporters in the divinity of their 'beloved President'...

America Is Collectively Insane
With a President apparently besotted by the philosophies of 1960s West Coast stoners, the religious right convinced Obama is The Antichrist, a judicial system either too arrogant or too afraid of the consequences to deal with contitutionally important questions about Obama's legitimacy and with social order in meltdown is America beyond redemption?...

The Stools Of Satan

When an American Evangelical Preacher starts talking about "the way Jesus want you to eat," it is well worth taking notice, especially if you are an atheist who writes a satirical blog. There is bound to be a lot of good material in it....

They Prayed Him Straight
[ humour, comedy ] ... [ boggart blog ] After the latest developments in the bizarre story of rent boy using homo hating evangelical preacher Ted Haggard I my have to rethink my lifelong refusal to have anything to do with religion....

Blake's Heaven
[ philosophy ]... [ literature ] ... William Blake was probably one of the most remarkable and unique writers and visionaries British literature has produced. Though not in the same class as a writer as Shakespeare or Tennyson, his heretical perspective on mainstream Christian thinking did much to change the direction of society as industrialisation progressed through the nineteenth century. This article then is not so much about Blake the poet as Blake the philosopher...

My Problem With God
Let me say before I start, there is only one God I have a problem with, the God of the Bible fundamentalists, the great celestial puppet master whom they would have us believe is pulling everybody's strings. The more distant God of the Anglicans, Unitarians, Quakers, Wesleyans, Allah, Brahmin etc. are all fine by me.

Our Debt To Islam
Should we let our society be defined by the opinions of a minority of people who, over the past 2000 years have repeatedly shown themselves to be prone to hysteria and far to ready when faced with challenging times to adopt the mindset of the mob. I refer of course to the way in which the events of 9/11 are being written into history as a point in which humanity changed direction. Mistrust of Islam existed before 9/11 of course but since then it has grown out of all proportion to any potential threat. Instead of blaming Islam for all the ills of the world though, we who enjoy the benefits of western civilisation should thank Islam for ....erm, well, ... the benefits of western civilisation or many of them at least....

Mary Gypsy
Christians tend to get on their high horse when paganism is mentioned. They are wrong to deny the true roots of their own religion though. The legend of Mary Gypsy tells us a lot about the way the Chistian faith developed out of pagan beginnings around the Mediterranean and along the Atlantic coast of Europe and North Africa

What A Pagan Believes
So many people misunderstand what it means to be pagan, some deliberately because they are determined to decry every faith, religion or belief system except their own, some because their only information on pagan beliefs come from films like The Wicker Man and some because they like the idea of being slightly sinister and edgy.

Pagans Are Back
Suddenly paganism is back in fashion. But what do these ancient, nature worshipping belief systems have to offer people in modern society? Well maybe it's the nudity and sex.

Atheists Miss The Bus
A plan to put advertisements for Atheism on London buses in competition with ads promoting religion is whacko to say the least.

The Chistmas Legend Retold
At this time of year our e-mail addresses are inundated with messages about how we should all have faith in God, or reminders that amid the shclockfest of the modern winter festival we should be aware of the Christian origins of the celebration. I don't really mind that, if you are Christian that is your choice and I would defend to the death anybody's right to be wrong if they so choose. And I will wish you merry Christmas with true goodwill. What does irritate me, usually at this time of year but in 2008, throughout the year, is the arrogance of Christians in assuming we all share their fallacies and misconceptions.

The True Tale Of The Easter Bunny
Greenteeth is a rather irreligious organisation, we believe that gods, like laws are created by humans and only nature can reveal the truth. Having said that, there are many ways to the truth and we would not deny that Christianity, Islam, Judaeism, Zoroastrianism, Hinduism and all the other religions, one stripped of dogma to offer something to people whose personalities incline them towards ritual. Buddhism BTW is excluded from the list as it is not a religion but a belief system.

A Real Role For The Church
Church leaders particularly in the Church of England complain of dwindling congregations and lack of interest. But could they find a more prominent role in society be being a bit less about Jesus and more about people.

Sexual Salvation
Parents and employers have complained for years that children are getting dumber while politicians point to examination statistics and claim the opposite. So what is going on? We reveal Dumbing Down is a conspiracy.
