A Glass can only spill what it contains
I know it’s been a while since I’ve posted anything, that’s largely because I’ve been preparing for a live debate coming up on September 17th between myself and Rip Snow in Waycross, GA. Go to www.GodorNoGoddebate.com for more information on that. I thought I should probably try to push out a little bit of…
Those who fully embrace doubt do so at the expense of every comfort they’ve ever known.
I don’t spend the time on Facebook and Twitter making trouble (read: attempting to dialogue with Christians) that I once did . I do, on occasion, find reason enough to interject my opinions into discussions with believers and one such instance occurred rather recently.

Note: This blog would have been posted much sooner than it was – unfortunately a series of unfortunate events have occurred around myself and some of my friends, including the sudden death of a dear friend. While it may be a week late for this to seem topical, I believe it very much is and…

It’s rare that I find stories that so precisely and eloquently put words to the way it felt for me as I lost my faith. It’s rare that I ever feel like someone actually gets it. Jim Etchison does such an incredible job describing these thoughts and feelings in his book Songs of the Deconverted,…
Prior to last week I had never been to a funeral for a friend. I’ve been to funerals of course; when the parents of one of my friends died and they needed my support, or when an inlaw died in support of my wife. This was the first time since I was probably 8 years…
What’s a street preacher doing here? This last Saturday I was doing some audio work at the local Pondtown Festival; a little arts, crafts, and music festival in the tiny city of Rhine, GA about 20 minutes from where I live. As I was sitting behind the sound booth I noticed a sign off in…
