Although I prefer a less caustic tone, this article about atheism, written by a non-believer is worth a read: “On Atheism” This part is especially interesting: Atheists will argue that atheism is the opposite of religious belief, but that’s what is called a gratuitous assertion. The atheist believes there is no superior being. They have…

My Christian Belief Does Not Make Me Superior…
Did that title make you think I was going to apologize for the excesses of Christianity…or possibly the reverse…that somehow I imagine I am better than non-believers? Actually, it was a play of this interesting article I saw a few days ago: “My atheism does not make me superior to believers. It’s a leap of…
Okay, I Stipulate God Is an Alien
To my atheist readers and friends, the article below will come off a bit snarky, but I actually respect your skepticism and penned it the way I have to prompt dialogue, not insult your laudable aversion to blind faith. It seems to me that atheists (and others) can hold I am someone who has blind faith in fairy…
A God that Does Not Want to Be Measured Will Not Be Measured
One of the (many) shortcomings of Christian religion to atheists is that God remains unmeasurable. Here is a being that purportedly has often interfered in the natural realm (including its very creation), yet no scientific instrument, photograph, video, or so on has captured a single one of His miracles (although I'm sure some Christians would…
“Alan the Atheist”
If you are a regular reader of my bulletin articles, you already know that Twitter is often an inspiration for what I write. This week's motivation began when a Christian I follow retweeted: I am #atheism, and the behavior of the most fanatically devout is so often my best argument. #islam #catholicism #christianity I responded…
“Two rival religions? … The real struggle is between Christianity and Post-Christianity.”
There is a very interesting article by Albert Mohler that is worth your time titled, “Two Rival Religions? Christianity and Post-Christianity.” Not only does it explain why it is near impossible to convince a liberal Christian of something outside their worldview, but it (in great respect) puts into words how secularism is itself a religion with…
Why I Am a Heretic
I am no longer going to update this post. Instead please see the Beliefs page to read the most up-to-date list of what I believe. AKA, "What I Believe" I had an interesting conversation with a Twitter friend, and after he agreed to an uncomfortable implication of his belief system I commended him on being…
God is Dead (Again)
Space.com had to know they were going to grab some attention a tile like this for an article: “The Big Bang Didn’t Need God to Start Universe, Researchers Say” And the beginning of the piece doesn’t disappoint: SANTA CLARA, Calif. — Our universe could have popped into existence 13.7 billion years ago without any divine…
My Close Personal Friend Penn Jillette
Okay, I'll be up front…I have never even met Penn Jillette…so the title of this article might be considered a wee bit of an exaggeration. 🙂 No, he isn't a close personal friend, but I have had a couple times where Penn has responded to me on Twitter…and considering he's got over 1.7 million followers,…
Creation Belief = Bad Commencement Speaker
"What worried me the most was the fact that he said if you do accept evolution that you’re somehow ethically lacking." First, I don’t know if Dr. Carson actually said that, but, theoretically, if materialistic evolution (no God) is right, there is no real foundation for ethics. That doesn’t mean atheists are less ethical, but…
