Each church body is just looking for a sin which they don’t feel guilty of so they can be superior, as if God is a bear and we must simply outrun our comrades to escape being consumed in the flames of Hell that inhabit the mouth of God. Continue reading
In the past, I have been religious. At this point in my life, I am no longer religious and have not been for quite some time. Many of you are aware of the things that the church has put me through. It’s hard to be religious and enthusiastic about a church that only tears you … Continue reading
With an election on the distant horizon, I am sure we are all just dying to hear all the ridiculous things that people are going to say. But we can take heart that hearing that President Obama is the anti-Christ is nearly over. Or is it? Muhaha. One thing that we may have to look … Continue reading
After an apology from one kind Christian for all the evils Christianity has done against her, she looks at him with a mixture of anger and aplomb and asks: Why don’t you just jump ship? And it’s such an honest question? If you have to apologize for it all the time. If you have to … Continue reading

We don’t know our neighbors. They live too far away. Too far for us to be kind. Too far for us to really get a sense of who they are. All we notice is when they don’t mow their lawns. We notice when they have a party that doesn’t end before eleven. Rumors fly, but … Continue reading
My husband and I attended another new church last Sunday. They talked about Lent and had read along prayers and call and response statements. While we were flipping frantically through our bulletin to figure out where we were supposed to be reading from, it hit me. The Christian church is unbelievably dynamic and I still … Continue reading
