An Interview With Nimrod
You asked me what we’re doing, up here on the 80th floor of this building. I’m sure you’ve heard the rumors; that I’m leading some sort of rebellion against one of the bigots referred to as God. Such a tyrant; a despot. He deceives people like Terah and his son Abram. Such despicable people. People…

I’m Gonna Smile!
“I can do it myself, Ollie”, Stan Laurel would say, in his own self-assured way. The brains of the outfit, Oliver Hardy, would smack his partner around while saying, “That’s another fine mess you’ve gotten us into, Stanley.” Watching those guys always put a smile on my face. What a pair. One who’s a bumbling…

Is Freethinking Free?
How much does it cost to be a freethinker? What is a freethinker? According to the dictionary, it’s a person who forms his or her own opinions about important subjects (such as religion and politics) instead of accepting what other people say.

Heaven’s Sound
“On the day of Pentecost all the believers were meeting together in one place.

Don’t hire him. A person…

What Does Everything Mean To You?
I saw this commercial the other day. “What does ‘everything’ mean to you?”, asked Samuel L. Jackson for Capital One. Now, for the record, I am NOT endorsing Capital One OR Samuel L. Jackson. But the commercial caught my ear. I think sometimes we forget what the word “everything” really means. We are told to…

What Do You Have Against Jesus?
“What do you have against Jesus?” “So Pilate went outside to them and said, “What accusation do you bring against this man?” They answered him, “If this man were not doing evil, we would not have delivered him over to you.” (John 18:29-30 ESV) The evening prior to Jesus’ crucifixion, Jewish leaders brought Jesus to…

If I Was God For A Day
What if one morning, while sitting at your breakfast table munching on a bowl of Cheerios, your doorbell rings. You rise, walk to the front door, and peak through the peephole to see who it is. “It’s God!”, you gasp, as you pick yourself up from the floor. Nervously, you open the door and ask…
