I talked a bit yesterday about the need for a constant outlet of doubt, and I had intended today to talk a bit about the political changes that my agnosticism has brought about (not idealogical changes but changes in how I approach differences/“the other”), but after yesterdays post, a comment by a buddy on Facebook, [...]
Again, many of my more philosophically inclined friends have summarily dismissed the “proof theories” as worthless rubbish, and I acknowledge that, but they’ll need to forgive me for continuing on with these posts. These friends of mine are not the intended audience for these posts, the posts are more of a personal clarification of the [...]
I talked a bit about why I am not a Christian, and a bit about the Christ I see and follow, now I’d like to begin stepping into why I don’t believe in god. I’d like to thank everyone that’s read these posts so far, all the comments I have received have been of good [...]
I’ve always written about that which was currently going on in my life. It’s easy to tap into that source and come up with plenty to talk about, it got me through my first two years of blogging, but now… now I’m stuck. What if what’s going on in my life isn’t something that needs [...]

I’ve been attending a series of seminars called “Ancient-Future Emerging Jesus” which is an interesting mix between a spiritual practices workshop and an exploration of the Gospel of Thomas, I mentioned it previously, so if you want more information check this post out. Anyways, one of the questions was “What is Gospel to You?” That’s [...]
Over the next four Wednesday’s (starting this upcoming Wednesday, the 22nd) I’ll be participating in and speaking (on a panel with other speakers) in the Ancient Future Emerging Jesus seminar(s). If you live in the Atlanta area please consider joining us, the event will be held at Unity North in Marietta, and promises to be [...]
This past week Becky and I went to hang out with her best friend, a recent grad of Lee University, and some of the people that her friend has grown close to over her college career. It’s kind of awkward writing this post, as some of them will read it, but it’s on my mind [...]
