Today I saw a picture, of children, lying on the ground. Two boys, a girl, and a boy’s head’s crown. The girl rests her feet, still, upon that crown whose face below, though still, cannot be found. Another boy, another child face tilted up and to one side a face so still, so [...]

Heard this view on a conservative Christian radio show. It is typical of what I often hear on the subject of marriage from these stations. The host of the show claimed that if a man does not fulfill his role as head of the family that his family will not be a wonderful family and [...]

I have occasionally had to defend Christians and religion in general from a sometimes overzealous attack by some atheists. Just as with any belief system there are varieties of atheists. Some are strongly anti-religion and believe religion and Christianity to be evil and doing nothing but harm in the world and its adherents being ignorant [...]

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 [...]

There is now a story floating around that the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt has passed a law allowing husbands to have sex with their wives for up to six hours after their wife’s death. REALLY?????? I first heard about it from listening to good old reliable Rush Limbaugh. He prefaced it with saying that he [...]

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 [...]

Knight, I came across an interesting analysis the meaning of the different Hebrew words for man. They authors were pointing out that 22 out of the 25 occurrences of adam in [...]

No, still not my abortion blog yet (gee, it better be a good one after stringing this out so long). However I had another thought about an argument against atheism that I thought I would briefly address. It is: Atheism takes as much faith as theism. Part of the basis for this claim (and I [...]
