Sheep Don’t Save Sheep
Christians are down with the idea that God doesn’t need anything from us. But I’m not sure that our activities always reflect that belief. We act like God needs us to reach lost people. WHAT ABOUT THE GREAT COMMISSION, JOHN? JESUS TOLD US TO MAKE DISCIPLES!! I know. Please stop shouting… No question that Christ expects us […]
You Can’t Remove Your Religion
I heard someone say this: “Belief in God is like cancer.” Cancer, of course, is a bad thing. Cancer should be removed. Cancer harms people. Cancer kills. God, in contrast, is life. Belief in God is NOT like cancer. It cannot be surgically removed. “His brain is filled with Faith! We must operate immediately!” Belief […]
Christianity Doesn’t Harm Anyone
Christianity doesn’t harm anyone. You can stop crusading against the evils of biblical teachings. There aren’t any. Go slay some windmills instead. Baptists don’t toss heretics off the roof of their building. Catholics don’t enslave non-believers they find in the parking lot. The Bible doesn’t tell Baptists to protest at funerals. The Bible doesn’t tell […]
The Fruit of Your Religion
This post might seem like it’s about trans-genderism to transgender advocates because EVERYTHING is about gender when you’re a trans-gender advocate. If, as you read this, you find yourself becoming agitated by the perceived abuse of LGBTQ+ people, then you are not understanding the point of this article. In case you haven’t heard, J.K. Rowling […]
Well, They’re Screwing Us
Maybe, just maybe, you’re not SUPPOSED to be happy. Perhaps you were intended to live a life of pain and sorrow so others will be able to gauge their own happiness. Maybe you exist so people can say, “Thank God I’m not like her!” A few years ago, I had a conversation with a friend […]
Be Kinda Like Jesus
I don’t like New Year’s resolutions. That will surprise nobody who regularly reads my posts. I tend to be contrary about a lot of things. This isn’t a conscious decision. I’m not doing it on purpose. When I was younger, I didn’t realize how “toxic” and “arrogant” and “argumentative” I am. Thanks to years of […]
This Makes No Sense
Some people are good at math. I am not one of those people. In school, I was thrilled with a ‘C’ in arithmetic classes. I suspect I passed Algebra class because the teacher wanted to save himself the headache of dealing with my incompetence for another semester. During a typical, frustrating class session while the […]
Worry About Yourself
“Mom! He’s not doing what you told him to do!” When we were kids, my brother and I took turns tattling on each other. When my brother ratted me out it was because he didn’t understand that I was perfect. When I informed our mother of my brother’s wrong doing, it was because I had […]
Here’s A Useless Blessing
To you self described “non-religious” people who see no benefit to religious beliefs. To you who are ‘good without God,’ and evolved beyond the need for faith in a higher power. To you who ridicule religion as regressive superstitions. To my intellectual superiors who have rejected Christianity for a more enlightened worldview… Your ‘Holiday Greeting’ […]
Your Brain Is A Sandwich
Have you lived long enough to know everything? Some people have! I’ve met them. They use their own perfect wisdom to measure the truthfulness of my ideas. You may know a person who knows everything or perhaps you ARE such a person. People who know everything quickly identify themselves with the statement, “I’ve never heard […]
