Like I said in my last post, I’m extremely hesitant to just come out and say that I flat-out don’t believe in God in the typical atheist sense. This isn’t hedging my bet; I absolutely don’t believe in hell, I’m skeptical about an afterlife anyway (and even if there is one, I doubt very strongly [...]

Simply Better Off Without?
Posted in Existence, God, Life, tagged Agnosticism, Atheism, Existence, God, Life, Steve Martin on January 21, 2008 | 9 Comments »
I remember a poignant moment in one of the vignettes from Steve Martin’s book, The Cruel Shoes, in which the narrator tells about how his uncle told him he was sorry that he (the narrator, as a young person) had ever heard of the word “God.” This resonated intensely for me when I first read [...]
Agnosticism

I don’t love the idea of agnosticism, but I think it’s where I’m going to end up. I like religion, and think it would be great to have one, but it seems like they all do such a terrible terrible job of coming even anywhere close to capturing the ups and downs and complexities of [...]

So, the fact that I’m not posting much on here isn’t really indicative of a lack of thinking in the religious/spiritual vein. In fact, I’ve been thinking in overdrive, but not coming to any conclusions and not really going anywhere with it. My brother, Racticas (he comments here somewhat infrequently) is now in [...]
Sorry To Disappoint

I know I promised that I’d come back and try to articulate exactly why Till We Have Faces was so significant to me, but I’ve been at a loss for the last week. I’ve tried to explain it to my mother, my wife, and to my brother, and each time I’ve ended up saying, “Trust [...]
The Bad Reason Why

I think I may have provisionally decided to be a Christian. It boils down to this: I don’t prefer any of the other choices. I’m certainly not going to choose a different religion over Christianity. I’m also not satisfied with being nonreligious, irreligious, or just throwing up my hands and saying “I don’t know!” I [...]
Talking To God

My problem when dealing with the existence of God isn’t about logic or reason, it’s about experience. All my life I have been taught that you can talk to God through prayer like you can talk to a person, and that God will answer. But I haven’t seen it happen in my life. I’ve never [...]
