The Tearfree Mission

Tearfree promised a detailed mission statement, but upon reflection it became clear that a short simple statement would be best. So here goes…

The mission of Reject the Koolaid is to make common sense common again.


For providing us with that brilliant pithy summation, we would like to thank the inimitable François-Marie Arouet, better known as Voltaire.

Tearfree has always had a bit of a thing for Voltaire, who was kind of a Jack Bauer of the enlightenment.

How can you not love an atheist who says things like: "I have never made but one prayer to God, a very short one: 'O Lord, make my enemies ridiculous.' And God granted it."

Tearfree knows exactly what he meant.

"Though I may disagree with what you have to say...
