Why do the Christ-Cons get defensive when claims that their religion is crumbling are made? Why is laughing in the face of utter and complete absurdity so satisfying?

The beauty and sanctity of religion is diminished when it’s used to hurt people. Until they “get” this, evangelical Christians will continue to witness an exodus from their ranks and the continued crumbling of their antiquated institution.
The Nature of Joy, Part I

These thoughts are not revolutionary; many who’ve gone before have spoken or written these words. In my case however, knowing these truths and experiencing them have been two entirely different things until very recently. The true meaning of joy is becoming less a mystery to me with each passing day. If this sounds profound, I believe it is. If this sounds haughty, know that [...]
The True Jesus, by Stuart Delony

I could tell early on that Stuart wasn’t the average Christian blogger. Absent from his site are the worn and tired “fire and brimstone” rants frequently found on other religious blogs. Instead you’ll find the ramblings of an earnest man who follows his heart and genuinely cares about people – one who’s unhappy about how little [...]
Is Holy Scripture the inerrant Word of God?

The [Buddhist] Scripture is no more nor less than the finger pointing to the moon of [Divine Truth]. When we recognize the moon and enjoy its benign beauty, the finger is of no use. As the finger has no brightness whatever, the Scripture has no holiness whatever. The Scripture is religious currency representing spiritual wealth… [It] is [...]
The difference between Truth and Belief
Posted in Spirituality, tagged Atheism, Bible, Christianity, Dogma, God, Neo-Paganism, Philosophy, Religion, Religious Tolerance, Scripture, The Occult, Wicca on March 4, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
Truth empowers. Belief stifles. Truth is innate. Belief is acquired. Truth is to peace as Belief is to conflict. Truth is to spirituality as Belief is to dogma. We yearn for Truth, but sabotage ourselves with Belief. Truth transcends critical thought. Belief is a construct of the mind. Truth is simple and self-evident. Belief is complex and requires justification.
Quote of Note by Kaiten Nukariya

Early Christians: “The earth is the center of the universe, because the Bible says so.” Copernicus and Galileo: “No it isn’t.” Early Christians: “The Earth is flat because the Bible says so.” Copernicus and Galileo: “No it isn’t.” Some modern Christians: “Homosexuality is a sin because the Bible says so.” The “Homosexual Agenda”: “No, it [...]

As more Christians realize the extent of your arrogance, insensitivity, righteousness, and general asshattery, many will undoubtedly hasten to distance themselves from you and your rhetoric. If I were a Christian, I’d certainly be embarrassed to be associated with you.
