And now, a cute picture of our cat. I love it when Lydia curls up in a tight ball, with just one back leg sticking out. I love it when she curls her tail over her paw. And I’m entertained by the image of the cat falling asleep in front of the TV while channel [...]

Only Losers Dine At Le Cirque: The Stigma on Sex Work Customers
November 29th, 2007
Greta Christina This piece was originally published on the Blowfish Blog. Note: The piece doesn’t talk about my personal sex life per se, but it makes a couple of oblique passing references to it. Family members and others who don’t want to read about my sex life, use your own judgment on this one. It was a [...]
If You Weren’t An Atheist, What Would You Be?
November 28th, 2007
Greta Christina I have a nosy question for my godless readers. If you had to pick a religion to belong to, which one would it be? Is there any religion that appeals to you, with rituals and politics and practices that strongly resonate with you? Do you ever have moments, listening to a church choir or attending [...]
Atheism in Pop Culture Part 6: “Dear God” by XTC
November 27th, 2007
Greta Christina Ingrid is going to love this one. It’s the video of XTC’s musical screed against religion, “Dear God.” Video below the fold, since putting it above the fold screws up my archives.
Carnival of the Godless #79, and Humanist Symposium #11
November 27th, 2007
Greta Christina Carnival time again! The Humanist Symposium #11 is up at The Greenbelt. The Humanist Symposium is probably my favorite blog carnival; it’s the godless carnival that focuses on the positive side of non-belief. My piece in this Symposium: Godless is the New Black: Is Atheism Just a Trend? My favorite other pieces: Life Without Death [...]
Thanks
November 26th, 2007
Greta Christina I was planning to put this up on Thursday, but I was out of town for the long Thanksgiving weekend, and it turned out that I didn’t have wireless access and couldn’t connect my laptop to the Internet. Sorry for the late-itude. I’m home now, and will be back to my regular blogging schedule as [...]
No, I haven’t disappeared
November 25th, 2007
Greta Christina I’m travelling for the Thanksgiving weekend, and I thought I’d have reliable Internet access but I don’t. So that’s why I haven’t been posting. I’m coming home on Monday, and should be putting up a proper post on Monday evening. Sorry for the interruption; I miss you all, and will talk to you soon.
Perfect Porn and Other Myths
November 21st, 2007
Greta Christina This piece was originally published on the Blowfish Blog. Please note: This piece discusses, not so much my personal sex life, but my tastes and preferences in porn, and it does so in some detail. If you don’t want to read that, please don’t. It’s almost a throwaway line. And yet it’s stuck with me [...]
Atheist Limericks!
November 19th, 2007
Greta Christina Over at Friendly Atheist they’re having a contest for who can write the best atheist limerick. I’ve submitted several of my own, and thought y’all might like to see them. First, I just had to do a Nantucket one: An apologist man from Nantucket Had excuses that started to suck it. His mind twisted and [...]
