Not Helping

Wow, just Wow. This should make me laugh, but it doesn’t. It makes me depressed about humanity. Please, there are so many good books that cover real debates about God or Darwin by people who understand logical argument. This crap is bad for Christianity. httpv://youtu.be/FZFG5PKw504

The Pick and Choose Fallacy

I don’t support slaves submitting to their masters (1 Peter 2:18), I cut my hair (1 Corinthians 11:13-15), I don’t believe divorce is the same as adultery (Mark:10 11-12), and I’m keeping my stuff (Luke 18:22).  Because of this, among other things, I am partaking in what many like to call, “picking and choosing” from… Continue reading The Pick and Choose Fallacy

Here is an RSA Animate video of him speaking on the problematic nature of charity. I think believers and non-believers should find this worth watching. It asks these questions: Does our current… Continue reading Was Jesus a Marxist?

Anyone want to help me?

I am working my way toward the Genesis Contest at ACFW, where last year I got great feedback including one judge who said she/he couldn’t wait to read the published work.  Me too!  This year, I’ll be submitting my new manuscript, working title: Blown into Flame. It’s a story about a desperate daughter who must find her… Continue reading Anyone want to help me?
