I am a Christian Skeptic. While that is not the norm in Christian religious settings, it is quite the norm for those who are leaving Christianity for good, at least the skeptic part. It is with these leavers that my heart rests. Regarding the pursuit of truth, there are two normalized approaches within Christendom at…

I am bringing up this topic of the Christian and the LGBTQ community once more because opposing LGBTQ people, along with abortion, are the two major banners under which the American conservative Christian church marches, including evangelicals and many Catholics. It defines them and calling themselves “Biblical” is a code name for meaning that they…

No words in any language can express the overwhelming sense of gratitude one gets from living for a period in earthly purgatory, on death’s door and then returning to almost normal living. To experience an intimacy with God that didn’t seem humanly possible before. I think the liberated from the Nazi death camps understand the…

This is one of those impromptu postings, not part of my agenda for winter. There are always things that provoke me to write. This time it started with the ugly 2024 political season, where Donald Trump made gender reassignment surgery one of his triune themes, along with the economy and the boarder. How do I…

Prologue Yes, I know, there is so many people trying to make sense of last week’s election that what on earth could I add? Of all the dots to connect, I will only attempt to connect two. I will also introduce you (if you haven’t watched it by now) a podcast that is the best…

I am resurrecting my controversial writings I called “My Ramblings.” While my topics could vary, there is one solid purpose for my writing here, and always has been the same. Because I was severely disillusioned with Christianity at one point (and am still disillusioned with the Christian culture, especially evangelicalism), my heart is with those…

Summary I didn’t think I would ever write another novel, but writing is a passion, and I couldn’t help myself. This morning, I just completed a new novel tentatively titled: Ashes to Ashes; Dr. Caren Rose and that Damn Abortion Scroll. This is a first draft and would require many more edits and changes before…
