Grief and the loss of your faith

This particular post is being written with the ex-christian and ex-believer who has embraced atheism or agnosticism in lieu of their former faith.

Debating God In The Bible Belt

Some months ago I was contacted via email by the organizers of the God or No God Debate and issued a challenge to debate the topic of God in the town of Waycross, GA – about 2 hours from my home town. Public forum debate is not a common occurrence around here, this is the buckle…
