Welcome to Earthly Religion, the Internet presence of God’s Goods, a humanistic, naturalistic, deistic religion.

This religion does not expect you to believe in God, the Bible, or any particular religious authority. Rather, it places faith in our human prerogatives and abilities, our earth’s interrelated system of life, and the natural laws which allow security, ability, freedom, and ultimate meaning.

Both non-believers and believers are welcome here.  The emphasis isn’t on believing; it’s on being and behaving, living well with yourself, each other, and life on earth.

The attention here is on the earthly. Supernatural speculations and possibilities are interesting but diverting.  Our religious responsibility and opportunity is found in these bodies on this earth.

While we take our religious perspective and work seriously, we don’t want it to be stuffy. Too often, religions are alien to the human condition rather than affirming of it.  We lean more towards the fun and sexy, natural and lively, human and humane.

Look through the essays, editorials, sermons, reviews, and blogs.  You’ll find pertinent, provocative thinking towards a free, ethical, and healthy way of life.   You may respond and participate.  All sincere input is welcome; spam and hateful rants are trashed.  As this site gains attention, participation, and contributions, it will grow to include and serve many worthy causes.

With your participation and support I will be more able to develop and apply the core ideas and values found here.

    Better than Guns “Speaking is difficult, but I need to say something important. . . Violence is a big problem. Too many children are dying. Too many children. We must do something. It will be hard, but the time is now. You must act. Be bold, be courageous, Americans are counting on you. Thank you.”  Gabby Gifford I do not mock Gabby here; I join her in desperate vulnerability.

  • Debt of Honor (Book Review)

    Thinking I spend too much time reading essays, opinions, and information, I dove into a big, fat novel, Tom Clancy’s Debt of Honor.  766 pages later, I wondered why. If I cared about radar technology, war-game theory, economic analysis, etc. I might have a debt of gratitude to Mr. Clancy.  He did a fine job of bringing me the inside scoop on how these things work and how various forces and personalities might use them to ...
