You may have heard it before: The Bible wasn’t really written by God. Besides, why are there so many translations if there should only be one “word of God”? Clearly, it was just written by men, and what we have now is just a translation [...]
I’m generally a pretty tactful, harmonious person. I don’t like conflict. I’d often rather avoid issues than letting them out into the open. To a degree, this is helpful. Agreeableness is a positive quality, and no one wants to be friends with the person who [...]
I’ve gone through some pretty difficult times lately. For those of you who don’t know (I haven’t gone too out of my way to tell everyone yet), I broke off an engagement a while back. Though the decision was a hard one, it has felt [...]

No conversation, no kindness. And, seemingly more and more [...]
Original Post: Wednesday, 19 June 2013 After discussing evil and suffering for a few posts, I think I've done a half decent job at dealing with the overarching themes and discussions pertaining to evil and the existence of God. At the same time, I do [...]
