Sometimes People Do Nice Things [youtube] Sometimes People Do Nice Things [youtube]

This video was part of a Flash-Mob, which tend to be a kind of street theater generally organized over cell-phone text message. Many are political, most are meant to send a message. This one was a beautiful act of kindness and affection between a bus driver and some of his passengers. Thanks @ShawnKing (and @miche and @DanRebellato) for the heads up.... [Read more of this review]

In Bad Faith, part 9: He Lives In Bad Faith, part 9: He Lives

I’ve noted in my eclectic twitter and facebook feeds a slight trend that I first noticed this past week, before Easter, during which someone commented that they are tired of being, or that they shouldn’t be ashamed of their faith and wanted to shout it out. Then, of course, someone quoted the verses where Jesus said, if you are ashamed to... [Read more of this review]

In Bad Faith, part 8: The Case for God – Not What You Think In Bad Faith, part 8: The Case for God – Not What You Think

I just finished read/listening to Karen Armstrong’s The Case for God, and like waking with memories of a vivid dream, I want to get my thoughts down before they get pushed aside by the concerns of the day. In Bad Faith, part 8: The Case for God – Not What You Think I think that Armstrong did such a great job summarizing the book in her NPR/Fresh... [Read more of this review]

In Bad Faith, Part 7: Entitlement In Bad Faith, Part 7: Entitlement

If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father who is in heaven give good things to them that ask him? (Matthew 7:11 ASV) It shouldn’t be too surprising that in an era and place of unbridled abundance and wealth (that is the US in the 1970s and following) that these verses would be seen... [Read more of this review]

In Bad Faith, Part 6: Is Your God a Tribal Strawman? In Bad Faith, Part 6: Is Your God a Tribal Strawman?

So, it seems to come down to this, I’ve had these experiences, experiences that I was shocked to read about in my first year religion course at Loyola Marymount in a book by Rudolf Otto called The Idea of the Holy. The Latin phrase was mysterium tremendum et fascinans, and I completely understood what the author was talking about. I felt connected.... [Read more of this review]

In Bad Faith, Part 5: What’s Missing? In Bad Faith, Part 5: What’s Missing?

Abandoned Christian Science Building 3 by Maxwell GSDawkins wrote in The God Delusion that all experiences of “Faith” are delusions, that there is no god out there “talking” to you. He wrote that anyone with an ounce of intelligence recognizes that there is no “man behind the curtain,” and that the stories in the... [Read more of this review]
