Welcome to Average Joe Atheist. A humorous (hopefully) and irreverant blog about why I don’t believe in any god or gods. I am not a scientist, I do not have any degrees, I’m just a guy who had questions and found I could know longer believe what most of you believe.

Who Am I?

I’m not a doctor, scholar or liberal elite. There are no PHDs after my name, in fact, I don’t even have a BA. I’m not a Dennet, Dawkins or even a Dillahunty (I do know what alliteration is though, obviously).

I was studying to be a minster in the Methodist church when I started to question. I considered myself a born again believer and had many experiences I attributed to God (the Christian one). I remember standing in front of the congregation with tears rolling down my eyes believing I had felt the holy spirit. I even believed I spoke in tongues once.

Now I am trying to do my part to spread skepticism about not just the Christian religion but all gods and supernatural claims, although since I grew up Christian this blog is heavily focused on that religion. I believe the world is a better place when we look to ourselves for purpose and morals (Yes, we can do that). I think world views informed by religion are very dangerous. Yes, that means I believe we can do better than your god (whichever one it is).

But whether it changes anyone’s views or not my greatest hope is that it makes them think. I try to make my page informative and funny. I love to argue my point also. I don’t censor the comments, so if you have something to say, fire away! Oh… and THOR bless you! (No, don’t believe in him either)

  • The Great Ape Debate: Evolution, Chromosomes and Monkey Business

    Hey there, fellow primates! Yeah, I’m talking to you. Ever wondered why we humans, with all our fancy tech, sophisticated lattes, and love for bacon, mocha chocolate lattes, and avocado toast, have fewer chromosomes than our ape cousins? Or why, if we evolved from apes, there are still apes swinging from trees, munching on bananas,…

    The Gospel of the Living Dead: Matthew’s Tale of the First Zombies

    Betcha most of you didn’t even know this was in your bible. Ah, the Gospel of Matthew, where things get real spooky, real fast! Ever read the end of Matthew 27? It’s a doozy! Picture this: Jesus breathes his last, the earth shakes, rocks split, and tombs break open. And then, hold onto your hats,…

    King Herod & The Baby Hunt: A Biblical Whodunit or Historical Hiccup?

    Ah, the tale of King Herod, the original bad guy of the New Testament! You know the story – three wise men, a star in the East, and a king with a serious case of baby fever. But, hold onto your frankincense, folks, because this tale might just be a historical hiccup! In other words……

  • A Better Ten Commandments!

    I’m taking this from another of my blogs because I really like these commandments and think they deserve their own blog entry. You can see the original blog post here. It’s pretty obvious that the bible is not a moral guide, no amount of pretending can change that fact. Only a couple of the actual…

  • Birth Pangs and Really Bad Apologetics concerning the genealogies of Jesus.

    This blog post is not meant to disprove any god. Not even the Christian one (in fact nothing I ever write can disprove god) So, if you read it, and then come at me and say it doesn’t disprove your god, well… your correct, I literally just told you that. I expect someone will do…

  • Why is God so angry when his children disobey?

    God knows all things and has an ineffable plan, right? 1st John 3:20 For if our heart condemn us, God is greater than our heart, and knoweth all things. Acts 15:8 Known to God from eternity are all his works Proverbs 15:3 The eyes of the LORD are in every place, keeping watch on the evil and…

  • Jesus Creates the first Deviled Ham, while ruining a Pig Farmers life..

    Do you love Deviled Ham? I rarely have it, but I like it. By today’s standards, “Deviled” just means to make spicy. Usually with Cayenne, Hot Peppers or Mustard, things of that nature. You can Devil up all kinds of foods, such as Eggs, Chicken and even Turkey. Mmmmmm Deviled Ham… Yummy But is that…

  • Sure Jesus cured the blind man… but just so he could show off!

    Today I listened to the Gospel of John (I’m a driver and I’m always listening to something). In it, Jesus cures a blind man (John 9:1-12). When the Pharisees asked who sinned (and caused the blindness) the man or his parents, Jesus told them neither. He was born blind just so Jesus could prove God’s…

  • Was Jesus smoking the Devil’s Lettuce?

    There are a growing number of people claiming that Jesus (if he was real) was using Cannabis Oil in his anointing oil to cure people. I haven’t given this any thought since I have never read anything that claims CBD heals leprosy or brings the dead back to life. However, I just recently read the…

  • From Atheist to Prophet in one Day – Really, Really, Really Young Earth Creationism

    Today I went from Atheist to full-blown prophet for the one true God. He spake unto me and made me write the following, there may or may not have been some golden tablets written in revised Egyptian involved. God can’t lie.  The book (okay pamphlet, blog post, or whatever)  says so. I God wrote this…
