"For here we are not afraid to follow truth wherever it may lead, nor to tolerate any error so long as reason is left free to combat it." – Thomas Jefferson
Well, sorry I've been away so long. Things are going well -- I've just been busy with work and haven't had a whole lot to say lately. But yesterday, I ran across a really interesting article that I wanted to share with all of you. Paul Sagar, the author of the article, discusses several possible… Continue reading A Problem with Immortality
You can find part 1 here. As I said in the first post, my friend UnkleE gave me a series of questions recently that he believes present difficult problems for an atheist’s worldview. I had forgotten, but we’ve actually had similar discussions before, and you can find them here, here, and here (thanks for the… Continue reading Difficult Questions for Atheists? Part 4: Miracles
This time last year, I was feeling pretty down about Trump's election and didn't have high hopes for 2017. But now that we're at the end of it, I've got to say that this has been a great year. I don't feel any better about Trump -- he's an embarrassment that can't be overstated --… Continue reading Year End Review
I'm sorry to post about something so local, but some of you outside of Alabama might find this interesting anyway.

Part 2: Something from Nothing
A little while back, my friend UnkleE suggested that I should consider some questions that he believes are problematic for atheism as a worldview. He listed 5 questions, and I want to take them one at a time, so they can each get the focus they deserve. That said, my initial responses to each of… Continue reading Difficult Questions for Atheists? Part 1
My friend UnkleE and I have been having a wide-ranging discussion on several topics related to Christianity that ultimately come down to epistemology, or how Christians know God's will. The discussion began in my last post, which critiqued a doctrine common to more moderate circles within Christianity. UnkleE had more to say on the subject… Continue reading How Do You Navigate Christianity Without a Compass?
Sometimes, skeptics of Christianity will criticize its approach to justice by asking what happened to the souls of all the people who died before Jesus's ministry, assuming that since they couldn't have had faith in him, they were consigned to Hell. But many Christians believe they can address this issue easily by pointing to Romans… Continue reading The Light Given
