At the end of April I wrote a blog titled “Does God Have a Plan B” discussing the problems inherent with the whole concept of an omniscient and omnipotent God, free will, and God being a moral being. I used Judas’ betrayal of Jesus as my starting point asking did Judas have a choice in [...]

Recently my newspaper, the Fort Worth Star Telegram, published a “Cheer” that read: “Cheers: To the unidentified lady who prepaid for my fountain drink at QuikTrip on Central Drive in Bedford. The display of kindness to a disabled person such as myself was deeply appreciated. Your kindness will be warmly rewarded by God. “ This [...]
Does God Have A Plan B?

One of the reasons I became an atheist is because of the inherent conflict between the idea of an omnipotent and omniscient God and the idea of free will. Free will is an especially important concept for those who believe in a judgment after death and also believe that God is moral and just [...]

Finally found the time and energy to finish this blog. My apologies for all who have been waiting with bated breath for this – and for all of you who have not been, well my apologies anyway. I actually came across this at the same time that I started writing my series of blogs about [...]

Many Christians explain an atheist’s ability to deny what seems so clear and plain to them by saying that atheists are too prideful – they do not wish to submit their will to God nor do they wish to acknowledge anything more powerful than themselves and because of this we reject God despite the clear [...]
A Reason Why God Allows Suffering and Evil. But Not Really

The question of why a good, loving, and merciful God who is also both omniscient and omnipotent allows suffering and evil is one that theists have yet to provide a good answer. They have come up with some partial answers that deal with some of the evil and suffering inherent in the world. But only [...]

Tis the season of the Politician again; a time when politicians – both actual, would be, once were but now not but want to be again, and wish they were but don’t have a chance and are too clueless to realize it – run hither and thither in a mad frenzy to collect both money [...]

While listening to a Christian talk station again bemoaning the state of New York’s passage of gay marriage I was struck by something the commentator said. She talked about the increasing role of “eros” in our culture and how the homosexual community had disguised this by calling it love. What struck me was the fact [...]
Genesis 6:5-7 and the Problem of God

I wonder how many Christians have considered in depth what they read when reading the Bible and what it means for their belief in an omnipotent, omniscient, moral being. For example, from the New International Version: Genesis 6:5-7 5 The LORD saw how great the wickedness of the human race had become on the earth, [...]

I have already mentioned several of the questions that eventually led to me becoming an atheist. However I don’t believe that I have mentioned all of the questions that led me to becoming an atheist nor have I mentioned the questions that came to mind after becoming an atheists that confirmed my choice was the [...]
