Better Than Faith

Better Than Faith is a resource for anyone questioning faith. Whether you are doubting your own faith or you just want to shine a light on religion and expose some of its dirty little secrets, you should find something here to help you.

We feel that where there are proselytizers trying to convert people to their religion, there should be a voice of reason to help those people make an informed and rational choice instead of potentially caving under the confusing mind games and bullying that many preachers use.

If you would like to join us, we would be glad to have you. If you want to start your own group, we wish you the best of luck, and we hope that our materials will help.

Holiday Music Recommendations

If you’re out at the First Friday art walk in downtown Phoenix with us at the time this is posted, there’s a good chance you’re hearing some of the fun holiday music we’re playing, so in case some of you go home and check the web site out I thought you might like to know what the music is.

Most of our holiday music comes from A Very Scary Solstice and An Even Scarier Solstice, both by The H.P. Lovecraft Historical Society. You can listen to It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like Fish-Men, which is one of my favorite tracks, as well as some others on their web site. If you like what you hear, please buy it and maybe they’ll make another album for us!

Webcomic of the Week: Remember to cite your sources

Questionable Content webcomic has put up another potently hilarious strip, “Another Penny-Rant.” It is good to keep in mind that the majority of people are not the extremophiles who end up pushing their children away from their own cultures—the way that Young Earth Creationism and other deep-field cults can; but that the fanatic edge is the most shrill.

Eventually we sometimes do drift apart, and we all have different reasons for it. The more ridiculous the presentation, the further divorced it is from common social norms and reality the more likely it will draw ridicule and eyerolls.

The Mill Avenue Resistance is still going strong, but lately the preaching on Mill has been even more pathetic than usual. The last two weeks in November, Al (who is usually reliable for a laugh) refused to haul his god and pony show out for ridicule, but late last Saturday night there was a spark of hope for the preachers in Al’s surrogate Brant, until he opened his mouth.

If you thought you had heard nonsense from a street preacher before, you should really talk to this guy. He did have the same basic street preaching template that the others had to work from, but he seemed to have little or no knowledge of anything outside of that. It was pathetic.

So preachers, if you’re listening, step up your game and bring on someone who can at least give a half-assed attempt at defending your (admittedly indefensible) fairy tale god, or take a cue from the rest of your dwindling crew and just pack it in.
