Censorship Is Insecurity
Every now and then the Spirit urges me to remind my fellow believers that there is no reason to censor comments that contradict scripture. We should not be afraid of the dark. I know you think you’re doing a good thing when you delete stuff that doesn’t line up with your theology. You believe you’re […]
Atheism Kills A Lot of People
So, you’ve rejected the moral authority of all religions, but still want to lecture me about murder, rape, torture, abuse, and corruption?! LOL! Go pound sand! You have no right to rebuke any behavior. You declared sin to be a ‘myth.’ Why should I care about your opinion of genocide? (That’s not a rhetorical question. […]
Love Note To Me From Me
In case you think idolatry is an ancient superstition that isn’t practiced anymore; here’s what it looks like to worship a false god in the modern era. True idol worship requires incoherence and blind faith. Idol worshipers turn ordinary objects into deities. Things like oceans, stars, plants, animals, and even human hearts are credited with […]
Being Sensitive Is Not A Super-Power
“Never apologize for being sensitive,” is excellent advice for anyone who wants to be insufferable. If you are angling to be repugnant and repulsive, by all means lean into the idea that sensitivity and emotionalism are strengths. Sensitivity and emotionalism are not super-powers. Sensitive people are wounded by the tiniest offenses. Emotional people collapse into […]

Now, this is going be frustrating to hear but I’m a true friend who tells the truth even at the risk of upsetting you. Relying […]
Those Wonderful Unholy People
Christians: One of the hardest things for you to believe is that sin makes people unlovable. You have pagan friends who aren’t serial killers, or baby eaters, or leather-winged demons. The pagans are often civilized people who donate to charity and loan their lawn mowers to neighbors. It’s very hard for you to accept that […]
Are Same Sex Couples Bad Parents?
I was asked, “Do same sex couples make bad parents?” Before I answer that question, you need to define the word, ‘parent.’ Obviously same sex couples are lousy at contributing the necessary DNA to produce a child. In strictly biological terms, God himself has decided that same sex couples make bad parents. The definition of […]
How I Speak to Fools
The following is an exchange I had with a pagan. I submit it, unedited, along with commentary that I hope will help you Christians see that I’m not the one making communication difficult. ME : I am going to assume you have never had a real conversation with a person with whom you disagree. I […]
Try To Persuade Me
“I COULD be persuaded to CONSIDER…” “I COULD be persuaded…” Really? You could be persuaded? How exciting! Where do I sign up for a chance to persuade you to consider ‘some form of creationism’? This is all I’ve ever wanted! It’s the reason I became a Christian! Long have I dreamed of the day when […]
