A Sex Writer’s Defense of Visual Porn
May 29th, 2007 
Greta Christina Originally published in Good Vibrations Magazine, May 2006. Please note: This post includes information about my personal sexuality; family members and others who don’t want to read about that, please hang up now. I’ve been writing about sex for over half my adult life. Sex writing makes up the vast majority of my writer’s resume, [...]
Even If It’s Wrong: Barack Obama, Religious Faith, and Same-Sex Marriage
May 28th, 2007 Greta Christina There was this piece about Barack Obama in the New Yorker a couple of weeks ago. And it had a comment in it — about both same-sex marriage and religious faith — that chilled me to the bone. âIf thereâs a deep moral conviction that gay marriage is wrong, if a majority of Americans believe [...]
Carnival of the Godless #67
May 28th, 2007 Greta Christina Carnival of the Godless is back, this time around at Letters From a Broad. They were kind enough to include my piece Mitt Romney: Gay Marriage Makes Baby Jesus Cry, so I want to say Thanks. If you want to see the latest best atheist blogging, check it out.
It’s Not Fair! The Helsinki Complaints Choir
May 26th, 2007 Greta Christina It’s official: This is the funniest thing I’ve seen online all week. It’s the Helsinki Complaints Choir. And it’s exactly what that sounds like. (BTW, the video isn’t really eight and a half minutes long — it’s more like six and a half, for some reason there’s two minutes of blank space at the end.) [...]
Upbeat Atheism and Dirty Stories: A “Humanist Symposium” Shout-Out and a “Perverts Put Out!” Reminder
May 24th, 2007 Greta Christina First, a shout-out and thank you to the latest Humanist Symposium, a neat and smart blog carnival collecting positive atheist blog posts — i.e., posts about atheism that talk about what’s good about atheism, rather than what’s bad about religion. They were kind enough to include my piece Dancing Molecules: An Atheist Moment of Transcendence [...]
Old Growth Forests and My Butt: The Great Toilet Paper Dilemma
May 23rd, 2007 Greta Christina I found out something very disturbing recently. Not about Dr. Laura, or Mitt Romney, or Christopher Hitchens. About toilet paper. What I found out is that much commercial toilet paper is made from old growth forests. Now, I try to be socially conscious and eco-groovy; but I’m also not a psycho about it. I tend [...]
The Sins of the Mother: Dr. Laura and Son
May 22nd, 2007 Greta Christina You might think I’d be joining in the “Ha ha” brigade. As you may have heard, Deryk Schlessinger — son of notorious homophobe/ sex-phobe/ right-wing relationship and sex advisor Dr. Laura Schlessinger — is under investigation by the Army (he’s a soldier in Afghanistan) for creating a MySpace page with some unbelievably disturbing and fucked-up [...]
Mistakes Were Made: The Arrogance and Fun of Admitting You’re Wrong
May 21st, 2007 Greta Christina “As smug and self-righteous as people can be when they’re loudly insisting that they’re right, it does not even come close to the smug self-righteousness of people who are loudly pointing out that they’re big enough to admit their mistakes.” I’m quoting myself here. See, I get a little tired of hearing skeptics, science-lovers, and [...]
Come Hear Me Read! Perverts Put Out, May 25
May 20th, 2007 Greta Christina Come hear me read dirty stories!
