Do I believe in God?
I don’t believe in the God in whose name women were persecuted and killed as witches in Salem.
I don’t believe in the God in whose name men and boys marched to war in the Crusades.
I don’t believe in the God in whose name Protestants and Catholics killed each other in Northern […]
Dear Damaeus,

How did this come into being?” Three thousand years ago the answer that caught on in the Middle East was the notion that a single supreme being created the earth […]
Is the Bible bad?
How could anyone say that after it has been called “The Good Book” for so many years? There is much to be said for it but there is also much to be said against it. It is certainly to be respected for the tremendous influence it has had on Western civilization […]
What I believe is unimportant to anyone but me. What YOU believe is the important thing. How does your belief color your life? Is it easy for you to follow your belief? Does your belief help you live your life?
