Today is December 1 and I’m 51. Impossible I know but alas! This year I moved back to California to be closer to my disabled parents so I can more regularly help them out. But California is expensive. Much more than Ohio! I’m also coming up on some expensive dental work, automotive repairs, and all the usual vicissitudes of life.

I sure know the pandemic isn’t making it easy for anyone. But those who are still doing alright and want to support my work, please do! And spread the word to anyone else who might be interested in becoming a patron of independent academic research. Patrons do serve the good of everyone that my resulting work is made freely available to the whole world over, to instruct and educate and aid them in their journey into sense and reason, or help them make more capable arguments for good ideas and against bad.

So please consider becoming a Patreon Patron (or recurring PayPal Patron if Patreon is not to your liking). There are of course Other Ways to Help (like buying or even just continually recommending my books, or taking my online courses, and the like). But I benefit most from getting my monthly income up for the four major blog posts I make every month that are Patron supported. That’s been the biggest blessing and helps me stay independent and productive, while still granting free worldwide access to my articles to all who can’t afford it but benefit from it. From over a decade of reader feedback I know it’s already helped many atheists build better worldviews and improve their reasoning, helped many Christians escape their toxic faith, even deconverted Muslims abroad, and aided and edified hundreds of thousands of readers.

Check out my Patreon page for all the perks being a patron gets you as well (recurring PayPal patronage earns the same). And note once you are in you can set monthly maximums. So though patronage pays per each of four blog posts per month, you can set your per-blog support at the minimum of $1 but then set your monthly maximum lower than the resulting $4 if you need to, even as low as $1. Though of course I really appreciate more than a dollar a month from each supporter. And there are extra perks at much higher monthly maximums to check out and consider, too.

Thank you for even just thinking about it! And I wish a happy holiday season to you all even in this gloomy time.
