Adbusters kills the Buddhas of advertising. Yes, it’s true. Advertising is very bad.

Beliefnet Beliefnet’s slogan used to be “Everybody believes in something.”

Books and Culture Great essays on the stuff of the title. Who cares if all of the authors are Christians?

Clamor An exciting anarchist magazine (would anyone want a sleepy anarchist magazine?) that’s more theological than it lets on.

Exquisite Corpse Andrei Codrescu’s magazine of stories and essays, most of which are actually quite lively.

Fortean Times: “The journal of strange phenomena.” Stigmatics, Satanic Santas, snake goddess cults… the usual.

Forward has been America’s leading Jewish paper since 1897. Read the culture section. Even if you’re not Jewish.

h2so4: A post-punk hipster philosophy zine by disaffected academics.

Hermenaut: “Indie intellectual thought”; philosophy and pop culture, Buddha killers afraid to talk about god. But they’re good on everything else.

Kyoto Journal Yet another elegant, vaguely Buddhist journal. Extremely “tasteful.”

Lilith: Jewish feminist magazine unafraid of the goyim.

Metaphilm doesn’t review films; its writers “interpret them.” Whatever. The site’s a lot better than their motto, and it has a great picture of monkey, dressed just like Moses!

MobyLives.com is a weekly review of writers and their foibles by Dennis Loy Johnson, a man with a taste for both irony and the truth. “That whale is out there, man,” he says, and we believe him.

Mountain Record: Hardcore Zen.

Nth Position is an Irish magazine of "high weirdness." No, it's not a drug thing -- that apparently refers to religion, on which Nth Position runs some great reporting.

The Onion Very funny. Lots of Jesus jokes.

Orion An overly-spiritual journal for affluent seekers, this magazine nonetheless has a few sharp teeth, most notably in its “rant du jour.”

Pakn Treger Pakn Treger is Yiddish for “book peddler,” but this magazine covers all aspects of Jewish culture, as well as the adventures of the National Yiddish Book Center.

PopPolitics "Where popular and political cultures meet."

Punk Planet Music, culture, and politics for three-chord Buddha killers.

Resurgence Eco-god.

Ship of Fools the “magazine of Christian unrest.” Plus, it’s funny.

Spike A British ezine of cultural reviews, hi & lo.

Sojourners Lefty evangelicals.

Transition A hi-brow journal of cultural criticism with a truly international perspective that doesn’t dodge religion.

Tricycle The Buddhist review. One of the best general Buddhist magazines in English.

Turning Wheel: The journal of socially engaged Buddhism – i.e., overly-earnest, but at least they understand that Buddhism is more than a spa treatment.

Utne Reader A magazine, a blog, a how-to manual for liberals – Utne is a great resource. Plus, they gave Killing the Buddha an award.

The Adventures of Accordian Guy in the 21st Century is self-explanatory, isn't it?
He likes us. We like his accordian.

Arts & Letters Daily One of the biggest and best blogs, a daily round-up of three of the best articles about culture, politics, books and art available online.

Arts Journal A sharp selection of musings on hi-brow art, music, words, and dance.

The Antic Muse  -- ideas with sharp knives.

Bene Diction -- a clever Canadian "God blog."

Bitter Shack --  "Destroying your comfortable life of denial, one post at a time."

Daily Afflictions is a good website and even better book by Buddha killer Brother Void, A.K.A Andrew Boyd.

Daily Dystopian  -- Smart lefty history daily.

Dangerous Chunky seems to be about knitting for hipsters, and God.

Disseminary -- "Wisdom wants to be free." And here, it is -- this is a portal to several terrific sites with heavy God thinking.

Dr. Menlo is one smart guy, with a sharp eye for images sacred, profane, and in between. Sometimes the doctor riffs on them, sometimes he leaves you to connect the dots.

Get Ethical helps you think about how your consumer dollars shape the world – and do something about it. They don’t just kvetch about corporate domination, they offer alternatives (one of which happens to be Killing the Buddha, so technically, this plug isn’t so much ethical as a quid pro quo).

Chris Halverson  -- Meet Chris, self-professed Confused Lutheran; his blog makes a lot of sense though.

Me Head  -- your head, our head...

Ninadari Blogspot is sharp, funny collection of disturbing absurdities from around the world, presented in English AND German. We can only read the former, but the German entries, which occasionally include references to Killing the Buddha look even better.

Oblivio sounds likes a supervillain, but he’s actually Michael Barrish, a thoughtful fellow with a sharp eye for good stuff on the web, such as Killing the Buddha.

Reading and Writing  -- who can argue with that? We wouldn't want to. This is a great blog.

Relapsed Catholic – the very best godblog on the web, by Killing the Buddha contributor Kathy Shaidle.

Waving and Drowning is another one of those clever Canadian bloggers with an eye for the divine.

Witches and More

Why Wiccans Suck This is one of those titles like “Killing the Buddha” – it’s not really anti-Wiccan. In fact, the site’s author says he’s a Wiccan himself. He’s just sick of “fluffbunny” abuse of the term. We think he’s a cranky witch with some good information.

Witchvox Less entertaining, but more representative of Wiccanism as it’s practiced.

Internet Sacred Text Archive: A great source for scripture from a few dozen world religions. Complete texts (including different translations) of the Bible, Tanakh, Koran, the Vedas, basic Buddhist works, Bullfinch’s mythology, the Book of Mormon, Thomas More’s Utopia, etc., etc.
