Actually I think I'm probably a Deist, where before I said Agnostic. I don't mind labels too much as long as they seem to fit, and from everything I've seen so far, Deism better describes where I'm at.

A couple years ago when I was still a Christian, that's all my parents would talk about with me and my wife when we visited. Blood moons, blood moons. They would set us down, and we'd have to sit through Pastor Homophobe Hagee with a big mural behind him talking about 4 blood moons from their DVR ( Read more... )

I just got done watching a little bit of a couple of the "pastors" praising the outcome of the Orlando shootings because at least it took some "pedophiles" off the street. WTF ( Read more... )

I thought I'd share some free-verse I wrote a year ago, at near the beginning of walking away from my faith ( Read more... )

I guess I'm just looking for a little place to belong on lj at the moment. I've recently personally denounced my long-time Christian faith and I feel this is a safe place to maybe make a public declaration out of purely psychological need to do so.

I can't really express these things on my community, rainbow_ark because it was founded to be a safe place for ( Read more... )

 Damon Fowler of Bastrop, Louisiana asked his school to obey the law and not impose sectarian prayer on his high school graduation, and for that he's being ostracized.

My graduation from high school is this Friday. I live in the Bible Belt of the United States. The school was going to perform a prayer at graduation, but due to me sending ( Read more... )

I know, so many of you probably get annoyed whenever you see a post from me pop up, lol, but,  I promise, I come in peace!  Lol!   But seriously, I am curious about something.   I expressed, in my last post, that for the most part, I have come to terms with myself and religion, and that is still true. I have noticed though, that whenever I am ( Read more... )

As we all know, my blogging debute was an utter failure. I went running head first, and eyes closed, into a topic that, I know, can tend to push me over the edge. I often get overly worked up and become oblivious to the things I am saying. Well, not so much what I am saying, but how I am saying it. This is something that most of you all figured out ( Read more... )

If I have learned anything in my life's travels, it's knowing when to give up. This has not been a total failure for me, though. I may not have gotten the feedback I had hoped for, but I did learn that "exchristains" are just as, if not more, close-minded and ignorant than any other christains. This wasn't about preaching the Bible or anything else ( Read more... )

I would like to correct something that I said in my last post. It is not the Bible that is flawed, it is the reader.  It is not the fault of the book if the reader chooses to see what is not there.  The Bible is a great book that tells many great stories that are meant to help people live good and righteous lives, and I am not convinced that it is ( Read more... )
