I’ve been following some more debates between people who believe in God and those who don’t lately. And I think I’m starting to pick up on something. It’s rare to see one side moving the debate to the other side’s territory. Religious people tend not to engage atheists in scientific debate, and atheists fail to [...]
Ah yes, musings about the nature of God. This is the kind of thing that gets sticky sometimes, so I just want to say right here, I don’t profess to know the true nature or mind of God. Everything I write in this piece is speculation, both my own and others at points where I [...]

Just reading the title, you might think this would make sense given how much some conservatives love Bible quoting.

A religion built on assumptions about reality, then logically extended from there until there is a large amount of dogma around this religion called science. There’s only one problem… anyone making this claim is wrong!
Now, I’ll be the first [...]
Why is it, on the internet at least, atheists and theists have such a hard time getting along? Why all the preconceived notions? Well, okay, I can understand why, in that we’re bombarded with the stereotypes of each all the time. But buying into these preconceived notions makes things worse, because then one side attacks [...]
Religiously speaking, I used to identify myself as a Christian. This was mostly a label, as I don’t really believe the only way to salvation is through Jesus. I tended to identify as Christian more because I believe in a concept of God similar to that of the loving God many Christians follow. Jesus, I [...]
It’s time for believers to speak up. So I’m stepping forward now. I believe in God. I also think it’s everyone else’s right to choose what they believe. Whether they believe in a single god, many gods, or no gods at all. Or if they don’t know what to believe and decide it’s best not [...]
