“Curious how many of you out there have had a similar experience. Any things you would now like to claim as your own, and not as a result of God randomly choosing to make it happen for you?”
I’m curious to know why you are curious about this. Are you seeking validation?
Also, now that you [...]

If I knew then what I know now I would have:
Questioned the church leaders a LOT more, and made them actually answer my questions
Stopped being friends with people just because I thought I had to be (even though I didn’t like them!)
Told that church going asshole that he WAS an ASSHOLE
Dated that nice non-christian guy [...]

In high school, it was pretty much known that if you were a Christian at our church you were pro-life. Pro-life in a decently conservative way… thinking that even in a circumstance of rape, one must at least consider having the child. I remember being somewhat uncomfortable with the pro-life movement (perhaps this was my [...]

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 [...]

The following verse was pulled from Sanders Web:
John 8:32
“…and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”
This verse seems as fitting and applicable to me now, as it did back when I was a Christian. Why, you ask? Because, I have asked questions, studied and come to find answers. I have [...]

Focus on the Family has a new leader, Jim Daly. He’s alraedy making changes and making statements. Statements like, “he wishes more families were more like the Obama’s.” What?? This, from the organization who personally tried to drive Obama into the ground during the election? Well, there is some kind of change. My favorite thing [...]

The Matthew Shephard Act is close to getting through and becoming a law. This has some Conservative Christian’s panties in a bunch. They claim we don’t need any hate crime laws. None. at. all. One of the reasons they give for opposing the Matthew Shephard Law… get ready for it… they fear that Pastor’s may [...]

Growing up in the public school system I got involved in various school activities. One was a group of kids who formed an after school Bible Study that happened to meet on campus. It was pretty informal, and didn’t show up officially on any club roster. One teacher joined us, but completely on their own [...]

Latest ramblings from our friend Newt Gingrich are so far from right, they are laughable. Although, they’re not laughable, becuase this is how many politicians and voters from the religious right feel. Here is what he said:
“I think this is one of the most critical moments in American history,” Mr. Gingrich said in a speech [...]
