Random Thoughts from these past few weeks

Tuesday, January 26th, 2010

Eh, this was all written via my iPhone and transferred over to wordpress, forgive any typos/grammatical errors/punctuation errors. I didn’t check for them (not that I ever really do). I’ve been away for a while; I find myself distracted often by books, music.  These two distractions I don’t mind so much… they’re productive and I [...]

“What does it matter to me?”

Thursday, September 3rd, 2009

I often find myself listening to talk radio during the mid-to-late morning hours. During these fine hours there are two voices that I am able to frequently switch between, both, as is normative for talk radio, are supposedly representative of the conservative/right wing point of view. Please take note of my usage of the word [...]

Religion as that which allows us to lose morality

Friday, August 14th, 2009

I had sat down a while ago to write a post about the possibility of morality without religion, but I ended up getting side tracked and the post was left unfinished and forgotten until my Google reader had this post waiting on me this morning from Religion Dispatches. The post, entitled “Imagine No Religion: Sustaining [...]

What Gospel is (to me)

Monday, August 3rd, 2009

The other day I asked: “What is Gospel?” We got a few different answers, so before we begin take a second to read through the thoughts others had in the first post. Anyways… Jesus was born of a virgin, died for our sins, and was raised again. Oh, and there was some teaching mixed throughout [...]

Food and the (coming) Revolution

Thursday, July 23rd, 2009

I view the act of eating as a religious act. One in which I feel the least number of steps between the ground and our plates is the more religious route, one in which organic food (where the essential rape of the Earth does not play a part in the ‘food cycle’) is the more [...]

on community, organic food, and perfect settings

Thursday, July 16th, 2009

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 [...]

Wrestling with my own Agnosticism (read disclaimers!)

If you can’t tolerate strong language but still want to understand why I wrestle with agnosticism, take an hour and read as much of this site as you can. Disclaimer 2:This was written in a [...]

how the evangelicals lost me, and why I might go back (pt5)

Sunday, June 21st, 2009

To recap: Pt 1: Worship Pt. 2: Apologetics Pt 3: Wave Making pt 4: (down with) Sola Scriptura! Today is the final day, Part Five: Remerging (into) Church. Towards the end of each post, I’ve given a reason (or two) in which the evangelical church can improve, I have not, however, really given any reason [...]

how the evangelicals lost me, and why I might go back (pt4)

Friday, June 19th, 2009

Pt 1: Worship. Pt 2: Apologetics. Pt 3: Wave Making Pt 4: Sola Scriptura! (by the way, if you know where that picture is from, then you spend too much time on sites that are bad for your health!) This is the only doctrinal reason that I find myself seeking separation from the evangelical church. [...]

how evangelicals lost me, and why I might go back (pt3)

Thursday, June 18th, 2009

Today’s post is on “Failure to be the change”, part one was on “Worship“, and part two was on “Apologetics” A few years ago I went to a Passion concert thingy. It was back when Louie Giglio was still the 7:22 guy, and Passion was a once a year thing. They had recorded this CD [...]
