You can also use the handy guitars at the bottom of the page to navigate to First, Previous, Next, or Last tracks, or go directly to the Marshall Stack Archive!

As an atheist, one of the things I often hear as an argument for religion is the idea that you can’t be moral without it, that somehow I, as an atheist human being, cannot be a good, moral person unless I’m willing be be bribed (heaven) or extorted (hell) into being so. That’s not only deeply offensive, but there is mounting evidence that it is wrong. The study Mo references here is one such item of evidence.
As I mentioned before, one of my former students has published a novel. I’ve read it. I liked it. You should buy it. There’s a link to get it on Amazon at the bottom of this blog.

Please check out the Groupie Squirrel Store above and below. If you like the comic, and you like one (or more) of the shirts, then please help us keep the comic going by buying an awesome t-shirt! And I just finished the design for a new shirt that’s going to be the best of the bunch! And here it is!
Oh Blue-Eyed Haysoos – you will be chewed up and spit out like… like…

I also find it deeply troubling. Because the converse is that if these people ever lost their faith, they would have no compunction about going on a crime spree. That literally the only thing preventing them from murdering me where I stand is that God said that was bad.
