Celebrate Your Bias
Never trust a person who tells you they are “unbiased.” Any person who exited their mother’s womb more than a few hours ago has biases. A bias is a belief that prevents objective consideration of an issue or situation. Everybody has beliefs that prevent objectivity. Everybody is bias. The reason a person will try to […]
Life Is Not Fair
Life is not fair. This isn’t controversial. It’s an obvious truth that shouldn’t cause any more outrage than saying, “Water is wet,” or “Fire is hot.” But for some reason you’re unable to deal with life’s unfairness. You’re bothered by the success of others. Jealousy eats away at your happiness. You become less likable than […]
God Is Divisive
There is a particularly noisy group of people running around giving speeches, writing books, producing videos, and posting on social media who are blaming me for being divisive. According to these people, I am “causing divisions” when I say stuff like, “Men cannot be women.” Their accusation is fueled by a lot of emotion. They […]
Silence Is Not Violence
What sound does the moon make? I’ll give you time to ponder that question. Take as long as you need. When you think you have the answer, read on. If your answer is, “The moon is silent,” well done! Have you ever looked up at the moon and been struck by the violence? If you […]
You Are Never Enough
Despite what you’ve heard from trendy memes, you are most definitely NOT enough. Far from it. I know this is hard to hear. I just buried a hatchet in the skull of your favorite sacred cow. But before you display your ignorance by typing angry words into the comment section, let me offer a couple […]
Christians Are Better
One of my favorite questions to be asked is, “Do you think you’re better than me just because you’re a Christian?” I furrow my brow, hold my hands up defensively, lower my gaze to the floor and answer, “Yes.” That shockingly honest answer requires some clarification so I quickly add, “In every possible way, I’m […]
Burn The Un-Potioned
You’re eventually going to burn me at the stake. That’s always how these things play out. When people disagree about how to deal with a perceived crisis, the rational person is always killed by the hysterical person. Hundreds of years ago, hysterical people were terrified by the witches living among them. All the bad stuff […]
You Don’t Need To Prove God’s Love
I need to be very careful saying this. I know it might be sincerely misunderstood by some people who make the effort to understand what I’m saying. It will certainly be misunderstood by the people who categorize me as a jerk who gets his jollies from upsetting people. First, it is good to lead a […]
Just Worship Your god Already
I can tell what a person worships by what they suggest will fix my problems. Christian people suggest prayer, bible reading, and generally tell me to “trust God will work everything out for good.” After that, a Christian suggests I ask God for ears to hear His voice and wisdom to understand His answer. Pagans […]
Stop Speaking Your Truth
I’ve noticed that you do not have a friend who loves you enough to shove his hand over your mouth and yell, “STOP TALKING!” That reality makes me sad. I’ll feel a little better if you would do me the favor of placing your hand over your mouth, pretend it’s my hand, and in your […]
