Persephoneer Skeptics

Oh yes! I love that blog. Can’t believe I forgot about it.

@Flutterbitch Although its atheist author deals mostly with the Quiverful and Christian Patriarchy movements she was raised in Love, Joy, Feminism  is theist-friendly and has a diverse commentariat with regards to […]

Yeah, based on that post I’m a hard agnostic (though I don’t impose that on other people, but I really do believe no one has any fucking clue and those who think they have proof are delusional to some degree) […]

@flutterbitch I second you on the call for religious-people-friendly sceptic blogs – anyone know of any? I saw Alain de Botton’s Religion for Atheists get ripped apart on most of the atheist blogs I read, and […]

“Religion is not going anywhere, and it’s unrealistic to to not accept that fact. I have no problem whatsoever with religious people, so long as they don’t allow those beliefs to dictate public […]

Actually, it’s not something I see very much in the atheist community but it does frustrate me sometimes how many white people I see who were raised Christian or Jewish are willing to believe in extraordinary […]

I used to want to believe I was “spiritual but not religious” and tried out different beliefs to see if any of them spoke to me, but I eventually realized they were all bullshit and I didn’t have to be […]

I’ve wondered if there are any skeptics’ blogs that are more friendly to other lines of thinking than, everyone should be an atheist and everyone should look down on all religious people. I identify as agnostic […]

@redpensplease I think what you said with this was spot on: “but I think those who have never left the religious establishment have never had to think about altruism or morality outside of how it’s framed […]

@tossgoblin This is absolutely something I feel like I face a lot, even here in my NYC bubble of loose women and academically-minded colleagues. I was raised a pretty liberal hippie Jew, so I was never so worried […]

@redpensplease brings up an interesting question that I have nothing to contribute to (though I hope everything works out for your friend), but it makes me ponder a related question that I feel like I’ve never […]

@redpensplease It’s quite hard to find mental healthcare related resources out there for secular people in general – I’ve seen very, very little in the interwebs regarding addiction recovery that doesn’t have […]

@Brigit Thanks much! I have tried doing some searching around myself, but it’s tough out there for a non-believer.

@redpensplease I don’t know how helpful it would be, but there was a post in Skepchick regarding nonreligious alcohol and addiction help and some commenters wrote about additional resources: <a […]

Hi all,

I’m a new persophoneer who’s happy to be here with her fellow skeptics! Anyways, I have a crowdsourcing type question re:blogs / materials / resources. A good friend recently accepted his […]

I say I am a spiritual atheist, and it is always a challenge to talk about what I mean by “spiritual.” I think, perhaps, the spiritual roots from something beyond reason, beyond understanding, beyond language. […]

Spirituality is one of those weird things for me. I’m in a very interdisciplinary environmental studies/science PhD program and one of the other women in my cohort is partially focusing her dissertation on […]

Some interesting ideas. The definition of spirituality seems quite broad, though I would still say that I’m not spiritual as – by my own definition – it is something which involves belief in an element of higher […]
