Lies

Have you ever thought over this? Do you ever stop for a moment in life to think why everyone tell lies (here everyone implies God too)? I don't understand why everyone keep telling lies. But I do understand that some lies are harmless and some helps in keeping the binding force in many a...

Reasons to be an Atheist

I cannot accept a God that requires me to believe. Not think. Not reason. Just believe. Faith should not be it's own reward.

Life After Death

When it comes to religion, I have so many questions. I don't believe it, because I don't have proof, but what I think is that if any kind of "God" existed then the world would be a lot more peaceful and well. We are taught in school about "God" bringing "Jesus" who was a supposed miracle worker....

Arrival

I suffer from a general lack of control. We all do. I'm sure you yourself can think of several personal examples of events or experiences where you acknowledge your lack of control of what occurred. I want you to apply that to all situations in your life for me. Can you do that? Imagine...

My cousin Kevin is getting baptized

Some nice family news: my cousin Kevin, the second-youngest of my first cousins in my mega-large family (my father is one of eight), has decided to get baptized, which I think is very positive. I was not too surprised when I got news of this today since we had had a long discussion earlier this year...

The Matrix & Reality

I have always been a big fan of The Matrix Trilogy, mainly because of the amazing graphics, stunts, and action scenes. I always thought the storyline was pretty good, but I never really "got" it. Only until recently have I actually started to understand the foundation of the Matrix storyline; I had...

Everything Counts, Even in Small Amounts

By Seamus Anthony Ennis When I despair of and don’t know what to do about this crazy world we live in then I just try to do something positive. Help someone, give a little money to a cause, or if I feel the urge, just have fun making something cool. I believe it all counts. It counts because every...

My Summer Reading, so far

I began the summer by reading Judith Kitchen's examination of William Stafford's poetic works, Writing the World: Understanding William Stafford. There is simply not enough critical writing on Stafford's voluminous body of work. Here it becomes clear that his crisp, yet complicated, approach to...

A Prelude to an Exercise in Tolerance

My faith is ambiguous. A topic I've never really broached publicly or much introspectively. My friends are often confused on where I stand, the foundation of my religious beliefs if there are any. Their assumptions I find at times hurtful or foolish, but what are they to formulate of me as a...
