I Love Atheists.

For those of you who know me, this won’t come as a surprise, but for the last few months I’ve been reading a blog called Atheist Revolution. Let me explain. I love atheists. I love agnostics. I love talking with them, reading their thoughts, listening to their arguments. Most of my best friends in this […]

To Worry

wuhr-ee (v) : to torment oneself with or suffer from disturbing thoughts
I think worrying should be an official disease. I mean it’s not as bad as Diabetes or anything, but it’s just as bad as A.D.D. It’s something that hinders you and it’s really hard to control and some people have to deal […]

The Public Debate

On May 9th, I wanted to stab my eyes out with a needle.
In case many of you were unaware, there was a public debate concerning the existence of God on ABC that Wednesday. The debaters? Well, representing the “dark evil atheists” were the Rational Response Squad, the group that started the “Blasphemy Challenge” where people […]

Flinging Poo

It’s disgusting when one comes up with a blog title like this one, because possession of a decent web tracking system like Mint or Analytics yields disturbing results. Ever since I wrote a post called “We pee our pants,” some of the top five search referrers are looking for something like “girl pees panties” or […]

The Difference Between

Recently, I was linked by this blog over the Love Thy Gay Neighbor post, where the author basically said how frustrating it was that I accepted what was culturally acceptable as opposed to the undeniable truth of God’s Word. And like always, to the surprise of no one, I let my pride get hurt and […]

God Inc.

Easter coincided with my father’s 50th birthday this year, so to celebrate, Vida and I drove up to Missouri for a surprise party. Besides seeing my family and old friends, we stayed in Springfield with my “surrogate family,” a couple that took me under their wing for a few years, forced me to go to […]

The Book

Once in awhile, something comes along that amazes me. Something which gives me hope that not everything is lost. And though from the pulpit of this website, I am likely to rant and rave about the ridiculous discrepancies between what our faith commands of us and how we obey, it is certain that I am […]

Belief Fits

I want to use this post to discuss an article recently published in the New York Times (note: free registration is required to read this article, if you would like to forego that, please download the .pdf document here) where a question was brought up. A question that has recently been a hot debate among […]

Thorn. Flesh. Mine.

It was a rough week. Not because of any one thing, but because I’m afflicted with both a blessing and a curse. I’m a writer, a thinker and I have a tendency to get lost inside my own head. And while this doesn’t usually affect my daily life, every so often, it does. And when […]

We Pee Our Pants

When you were in school, more than likely you ran into the following situation more than once. That is, unless you were one of the “cool” kids with your cool-ass clothes and trendy haircuts. For the rest of us, there were what we commonly referred to in our minds as the banes of our existence, […]
