Breaking the Shackles of Sin

When Jesus was asked what the most unforgivable sin is, he replied that it was to blaspheme against the Holy Spirit. He could not have been more wrong if he tried. Read more

Why do I care about Religion?

The story behind, “Why do Atheists care about Religion?”

I wasn’t always an atheist. I was loosely raised Catholic. My family would go to church when we were visiting our much more devout extended family, during Easter and Christmas, but otherwise, religion just wasn’t a major factor in my life. Read more

Veggie Tales: What the Hell!?

Friday night I was baby sitting for the “Perfect Couple”. We’ll call them the Cleavers. Read more

Religion: An Absolute Problem

One of the main problems that I have had with most fundamentalist religions is the need for absolutes. The claim of absolute knowledge or absolute guidelines is troubling and problematic on several levels. Read more

Under the Bus

In response to some of the comments left on “Would the Real Christians Please Stand Up,” I have decided to throw some people under the bus. Yes, the examples in that post are somewhat blatant and high profile, so let’s focus on the average Joe out there who “practices” Christianity. (Or, at least, professes to.) This will be a rather personal post, as it will deal with some family members and friends. Out of respect for them and the situations involved, their names will be changed here. Read more

Nichole Smalkowski- UPDATE

For those of you that have been waiting patiently and wondering when Niki would be posting…soon. Unfortunately, she has been been dealing with a LOT lately. (And her pending federal court case is only the beginning.

TJM does not have all of the facts involved yet, but we have received word from her that her family was the victim of arson recently. Someone tried to torch their house recently. I know that she does stop by the blog often, so any words of encouragement left here would be appreciated.

Islamic Light, Bahrain & Me.

As-salamu alaykum,

In the younger years of my life, I grew up in an Island Kingdom in the Middle East. Bahrain; A few miles off the coast of Saudi Arabia, in all the rich & vast beauty of the pristine blue waters of the Persian Gulf; Bahrain, simply hearing her name brings joy to my heart. I was born and raised in Al Bahrain; The land of the beautiful, the land of pearls.

I was raised a Roman Catholic by religious parents, but I loved Islam more than my religion. But it never even occurred to me that I will end up in neither of them. Life took me to a state of skepticism, of reason & of science; it took me, to Atheism.

In Islamic thought, pearls symbolize Read more

Call Me What You Want

According to Merriam-Webster, the word “militant” is defined as the following:

1. Engaged in warfare or combat: fighting
2. Aggressively active (as in a cause): combative

With those definitions in mind, I have to ask a simple question. Why in the world would you ever call an atheist “militant?” In reality, the two top fundamentalist movements (fundamentalist Christians and fundamentalist Muslims) certainly fit the term far better than most atheists or agnostics.
