My Comfort Zone Is Too Small
As I prepare myself to grumble about the triple digit temperature outside, I remember just a few weeks ago when I was grumbling about the insufferable cold. It occurred to me that I’ve got a very narrow ‘comfort zone.’ I’m not just fussy about the temperature either. I will complain when my stomach is empty […]
If You Have Ears…
To the surprise of nobody, there is some confusion among the atheists about my motivation for writing stuff. I’ll attempt to clarify my position for any heathen with the courage (and reading ability) to understand. I don’t care if you ever come to believe in God. My goal is not to find agreement with you. […]
Where Did That Bird Come From?
These days, nobody takes atheists seriously. Excluded from all relevant conversations, the non-believers are mostly relegated to tossing silly memes into social media streams. There are no parades for atheists. The atheists don’t get ‘Godless Lives Matter’ campaigns. The most marginalized people in our country are the people who pretend they don’t believe God exists. […]
The Christianity You Don’t Need
One of the main reasons that people are running away from your church is because you are saying things like this: “If you are lucky enough to raise a teenager that never drank or smoked or got arrested or snuck out or cheated on a test; if you were lucky enough to never feel like […]
Anti-Religion Is Religion
“John, you moron! Everybody doesn’t believe in your god! We all have our own faith!” Say it again, louder for the relativists in the back! “Everyone believes different things! Faith is personal. It is completely separate from logic, reason, and science! Any religion is true if it works for me!” I hear you! These kinds […]
The Truth Is A Fact
A few blatant relativists commented on my previous post explaining that ‘truth’ is different from ‘facts.’ They are trying to convince me that it’s possible to have personal ‘truth’ that is separate from universal ‘fact.’ The gist of their argument can be summarized by this statement: “Facts rule the day. Math, gravity, weather. Things no […]
A Dumb Reason to Cancel A Drag Show
Never let it be said that irrational devotion to my home State has hindered my ability to recognize idiocy in Indiana. I love you Hoosiers but I can’t let this slide without commentary. Jasper, Indiana, in Dubois (pronounced ‘do boys’) County has canceled a family friendly drag show after the event received some negative attention […]
You Don’t Get Your Own Truth
There’s a meme I keep seeing that pictures two men looking at a symbol on the ground that could be either a ‘6’ or a ‘9.’ The man at the top says it’s a ‘9’ while while the man at the bottom says it’s a ‘9.’ Both men are correct from their perspective. The picture […]
Pride in Pride is Insane
Every year we spend the entire month of June testing God’s patience with something called, “Pride Month.” It is a celebration of something that the Bible repeatedly tells us we shouldn’t do— be proud! During the month of June I traditionally ask the most energetic celebrants, “What are you proud of, exactly?” Instead of answering […]
Christian Extremist Death Cult
I see you cult members! You who claim to follow Jesus but worry about biblical laws being forced on society. You who brainwash people with your false religion. I see you! You cultists are quick to remind me that we live in a pluralistic society and that I shouldn’t expect secular society to follow the […]
