Project 365

Thursday, December 31st, 2009

Beginning tomorrow, I’m going to launch a bit of a side project. This next year should be an interesting one for me, and I want to document it, so I’ll be taking part in something called “project 365.” Each day of the year I’ll be taking a photo and putting it online, keeping track of [...]

Why I am Agnostic, pt 2–causality

Sunday, December 27th, 2009

I mentioned, in a comment yesterday, that I had jumped the ship of theism about a year ago, and had somehow gotten caught up in trailing the ship for some time after that. The next few posts will discuss how those remaining ties were severed, and I’ll probably end with something on why I am [...]

Sunday, December 20th, 2009

I’m back. I think the time off was much needed and incredibly beneficial. I think you’ll find a (not so) subtle difference in the content, which will begin tomorrow. I’ve changed in many ways, yet still remain connected and interested in the emergent expression of faith I was a part of before my world blew [...]
