Matthew 12:36-37
36 “I tell you, on the day of judgment people will give account for every careless word they speak, 37 for by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned.”
Well, I can think of more than few Christians who have apparently forgotten this verse. Too bad for them, [...]

I just put it up last night, and already there are 15 members. I hope that this Facebook group will be a good extension to this [...]

Why did I not think of this… seriously!?
Check out the BoingBoing post about it.
Excerpt from the original:
We are a group of dedicated animal lovers, and atheists. Each
Eternal Earth-Bound Pet representative is a confirmed atheist, and as such will still be here on Earth after you’ve received your reward. Our network of animal activists are committed to step in when [...]

The Secret Diary of Steve Jobs is perhaps my most favorite blog out there. I’ve been reading it for years, before we all knew who was writing it, and it has never failed me. Even knowing who it is that is writing it… doesn’t ruin it. When I read this post… I just had to [...]

Philippians 2:3
“3 Do nothing from rivalry or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves.”
I think a lot of Christians should read this verse over and over and over. I don’t know very many who act this way. Instead, they are better than those who don’t believe. They are a better Christian than [...]

I’ve been traveling, and had a very good dinner last night with a good friend. We started talking about spirituality, and what each of us believes, and it was a very interesting conversation. I told her, that after 10 years away from the church, I know I don’t believe in Christianity, and that I’m skeptical [...]

Okay, wait a minute. You must be kidding right… there is church… at night!? What kind of amazing utopia is this? I get to come in on Sunday morning, sing, worship, study the Bible, hang with friends… then I get to have lunch with my friends… then I get to hang out with my friends [...]

Luke 12:29-31
“29 And do not seek what you are to eat and what you are to drink, nor be worried. 30 For all the nations of the world seek after these things, and your Father knows that you need them. 31 Instead, seek his kingdom, and these things will be added to you.”
Really nice [...]

Okay, so you’ve heard the beginning… I’m going to fast forward just a little bit, becuase the really interesting stuff is from my high school and early college years. I could practically write about every single day during these years. I was intense… and it was for good reason. I had gone through a lot, [...]

Found this funny… especially after I read the article about promoting marriages at a young age. The fact is, most don’t wait, and those that do can have just as many issues as those that don’t. It’s hard to believe that this is considered an answer to the failing abstinence message. How about you tell [...]
