David Fitzgerald Defends “Nailed”
January 25th, 2012 Greta Christina About a month and a half ago on my blog, a debate sprouted up in the comments here about David Fitzgerald’s Nailed: Ten Christian Myths That Show Jesus Never Existed at All. Fitzgerald has recently found the time (how and where, I have no idea, his plate is even more crazy full than most people [...]
Dream diary, 1/18/12: The blood test for books
January 18th, 2012 Greta Christina I dreamed that the government had created new medical technology where they could test your blood and find out what books you’d been reading. I was upset about the invasion of privacy this represented, but mostly I was embarrassed and annoyed that my recent reading list hadn’t been serious enough and had so much escapist [...]
The Skeptical “Pride and Prejudice”

8 Comments »Mental and Physical — We Need Non-Supernatural Language
September 16th, 2011 Greta Christina If you think there’s no spiritual or supernatural world, and that consciousness/ emotions/ intention/ etc. are all products of the brain and the physical world… then what language to you use to distinguish between the mental aspects of your body, and the other aspects of your body? I’ve been talking with JT Eberhard, good friend/ fellow [...]
How Sexism Hurts Men, Part 2: Why Do I Care?
September 28th, 2010 Greta Christina This piece was originally published on the Blowfish Blog. So why do I care? I devoted yesterday’s post to a silly pop-culture book, Undateable, which gives straight men snarky- but- sincere advice on how to make themselves attractive — no, strike that, tolerable — to women. I devoted the column to all the ways this [...]
