The beard is not just a right for Muslims: How religious exemptions hurt everyone

Posted on October 9, 2014 by Ryren Cadora

The Straw Man in Theology: Everyone gets religion wrong

Posted on October 5, 2014 by Ryren Cadora

The dumbest thing ever done in the name of religion

Posted on September 23, 2014 by Ryren Cadora

Remember Jim Jones? Marshall Applewhite? David Koresh? What about Li Hongzhi? These are all bat shit insane cult leaders who compelled their followers to commit mass suicide (or maybe it was murder??) (ok, so Waco’s debatable). The point is that every … Continue reading →

Posted on September 22, 2014 by Ryren Cadora

An open letter to atheists, Christians, and Muslims about working together to condemn ISIS

Posted on September 9, 2014 by Ryren Cadora

My criticism of religion must take a back seat for a moment. Lately I’ve been writing a lot more about ISIS — and with good cause. The Islamic State is the perfect example of what happens when religion goes horribly … Continue reading →

Moralism Islamic terrorists can learn from the Westboro Baptist Church (More death threats)

Posted on September 8, 2014 by Ryren Cadora

One of the things I find rather striking about Islam is how quick its members are to lobbing threats of violence and death. As I wrote about before, I received death threats from Muslims and alleged members of ISIS after … Continue reading →
