Pat Robertson says the earth is older than 6K. If you want to keep the kids believing, you gotta admit that dinosaurs came before people. True. Kids love dinosaurs. What do you say about the turn around? httpv://youtu.be/4sKIymtsOAc

The Dating Site The Atheists Love
Had to link to this cool article in The Washington Post about OkCupid. It’s founder recently won Humanist of The Year from Harvard. It wasn’t his intention to hook up non-believers, but as the Hemant Mehta, author of “I Sold My Soul on eBay,” said in an interview. “It’s anecdotal, but I never really met nice… Continue reading The Dating Site The Atheists Love
I Hate Well Dressed Crowds
I’ve been thinking about my social fears and discomfort lately and trying to brainstorm ways to overcome it. In particular, there’s an event Saturday night at work I’m dreading. I’m starting to realize my social anxiety is just me being incredibly conceited. Nobody cares about me when I’m in a crowd. Only I am cowered… Continue reading I Hate Well Dressed Crowds
The Nones – Enlightened Masses or Apathetic Poll Subjects?
“One-fifth of the U.S. public – and a third of adults under 30 – are religiously unaffiliated today, the highest percentages ever in Pew Research Center polling.” Every time Pew runs this study, worldview blogs catch on fire with excitement. Secularists see it as a victory of a newly enlightened young population. Christians see it… Continue reading The Nones – Enlightened Masses or Apathetic Poll Subjects?
Compassion, On the Internet?
A wonderful story, yet again, coming out of Reddit. This time about religion and misunderstanding and how to handle cultural differences with civility and compassion. All psycho zealots take note.

If God Were President
I found this via https://twitter.com/almightygod Not sure where he got it. But it’s awesome.
Creepy and Awesome
As a writer, I often think, “Who really cares what I write? I’m just entertaining people with a story and taking them away from everyday life.” Then again, I do hope maybe they’ll think a little differently afterwards, right? Certainly you remember a Fiction book, maybe a classic, that changed how you think. Well, now… Continue reading Creepy and Awesome
A Letter to My Older Self
I have no idea what it’s like to inch toward your last 10, 20, or 30 years. But people I love dearly are right there, right now, and I like to empathize and imagine it in my own life. I want to be ready to counter the challenges, which I believe include: Being devalued as… Continue reading A Letter to My Older Self
Marriage Material
I think my Mom is probably worried I’m cheating on Sage. She sat nearby as I chatted with Holly and referred to my latest work as my “boyfriend.” Creative work, in my case manuscripts, does feel like having an affair from daily life. I had mentioned to Holly in spring that this latest boyfriend is… Continue reading Marriage Material
