A Glass can only spill what it contains
Ever since I was very young I’ve felt an unexplainable drive to seek out , discover, and even defend truth, whatever that may be. I think somehow this desire translated into a fervent religious belief through my teen years and a lengthy role in defending that belief. That drive still exists, though my methods of…
I found out yesterday that a local pastor used me in an illustration in one of his recent sermons. This was brought about because the pastor had seen a Facebook conversation or two that I had been in with a friend of mine that attends his church. When I listened to this I expected…
I’ve ran into some internet connection issues that will keep me from updating both Twitter and this post for the rest of the week if not a little longer, be back soon. I can be reached at revoxley501 at gmail dot com

Today, hundreds of thousands – perhaps even millions of atheists are delighting themselves in calling it Zombie Jesus Day, much like I did…
Next week will be the first official "A Week on Facebook" in which thousands of Atheists will be changing their profile picture to the well known Scarlet letter 'A'. The purpose for this is to show the world that we, as atheists, are here and regardless of what the world may believe about us, good…
Saturday March, 20th 2010 at 11PM EST I will once again be a guest on ParaTrinity Radio. This episode will feature myself, an Atheist, as well as a Christian and a Wiccan and we will be discussing beliefs, god, religion, and all sorts of other things. Last time I was on the program it was…
