Ahh, here we go with another episode of people not following their own rules of belief in their religion or deity. So, I’m having a conversation with this Christian of sorts (their explanation is that they’re not actually Christian but of an Apostolic deviation of it…whatever) and they begin telling me of how races shouldn’t mix and that it’s warranted by the Bible.
Really? Read More…
Ahh, parents are so wonderful the way they are so adamant about beliefs. I have one particular memory of someone in my mind today that has been bugging the hell out of me. This person had a rather common belief, at least amongst some of the very religiously devout Christians and related denominations.
Their belief was this one: There should be NO work done on the Sabbath (by today’s standards, it’s Sunday) because it was a sin. Also, their belief was that sin shouldn’t be condoned or supported. So, with that said, let’s dig into some very interesting details of this person and their beliefs Read More…
So, let’s take on a position that most people take on the status of God Almighty: Full out omniscience, omnipresence, and omnipotence. What do those characteristics mean? It means all-knowing, everywhere at once, and all-powerful, respectively. Are we on the same page?
What this then means is that the picture painted of God, or a supposed God, by these standards is inclusive of an entity knowing of everything that would happen before it happens, present for all situations, and having the ability to prevent and/or stop any situations in progress Read More…

I don’t have all night to write this post, so let’s get down to the nitty-gritty. I first came across this paradoxical concept in “A Brief History of the Paradox: Philosophy and the Labyrinths of the Mind” by Roy Sorensend.
First of all, how much of a nerd does someone have to be to bring a book like this into a club on Fri/Sat night and lose it AND spend 48 hours asking for its retrieval? Oh well, let it be done.
The question as posed in this book is a fairly simple one: Can God create a rock/boulder that he can’t lift? Read More…
Why in the hell are kids dying because of parents’ bullheadedness? I’m not going to go into what’s the best method of anything as far as faith and medicine goes, but let me play intelligent devil’s advocate, why don’t I?
I’m watching Nancy Grace…I know, I know…but at any rate, I’m watching it and for all of the topics that are covered in this show I thought I’d never have to hear this story of an 11-year-old girl dying from Type I diabetes because medical treatment wasn’t pursued.
Upon listening to the story further, it came out that prayer was the choice of treatment over any medical treatment…Well, where do I get started? Read More…
Whatever you may believe in, why do people decide that it’s perfectly o.k. to interject their “God” in and out of situations of their life? What I mean, essentially, is why is it that an individual can easily decide at which point in their life to make use of their God but then at a point when everything seems to fail, they decide it’s a “test”.
I see that I’m not making myself clear…Here’s the scenario that I hear day in and day out…”This good thing happened to me blah, blah, blah, and it’s thanks to [insert your God/religion of choice here]” but then something conversely bad happens and then all of a sudden it’s, “We make our own decisions/choices that are responsible for the outcomes” OR “My [insert your God/religion of choice her] is testing me on my faith”. Do you mean to really say that for all the good things that happen, your pick of religion is completely responsible but then for something bad your religion/God is uninvolved because of free will and/or is testing you?
