“You can’t, except in the lowest animal sense, be in love with a girl if you know (and keep on remembering) that all the beauties of both her person and of her character are a momentary and accidental pattern produced by the collision of atoms, and that your own response to them is only a sort of psychic phosphorescence arising from the behavior of your genes. You can’t go on...

Atheism Bunch: "My Utmost for His Highest,"... →
atheismbunch:
The more I read into this book, the more I realize just how awful it is. Today, I’ve decided to share the entry for October 10, as it emphasizes one of the main components (and, in my opinion, main problems) with religion: blind obedience. “How Will I Know? ‘Jesus answered and said, ‘I thank…
Yeah, that’s twisted.
Though the passage of this book (what book, btw?) cites...

Dunk That Girl
I don’t actually know when I accepted the grace of Jesus’ work on the cross as my salvation. I grew up in a Christian home and remember really loving Jesus as a child - although, I’m unsure of whether or not I actually understood the Gospel. For years I went to church and did “Christian things” without caring about what any of that actually symbolized. Ritual is not relationship, religion is...

Clumsy Fingers
Many of you know that this blog is written from a Christian perspective. I also follow several blogs with which I do not agree because I think it is important to respect the views of others and gain perspective. Occasionally, I accidentally “like” a post I don’t support because I view these posts from my phone and I have clumsy fingers. In light of that I feel I should clarify what my beliefs...

Lord, Prepare Me
When I was growing up in a traditional Southern Baptist church, one of my favorite songs was Lord, Prepare Me. It goes something like, “Lord, prepare me to be a sanctuary, pure and holy, tried and true. With thanksgiving, I’ll be a living sanctuary for You.”
At that time, I still didn’t really know the Lord. I knew OF Him (very well), but there was no real...

The Student Teacher's Idolatry
As a full-time student teacher in a 4th grade classroom who is constantly planning lessons, checking in with individual students, completing tasks outside of the classroom for a separate college course, and being active elsewhere in the community, life is busy. I constantly have something to do and being bored doesn’t really happen. Not to mention, my obsession with getting things done on time...
