You guys, I finally figured out the best way to give a holiday greeting without pissing someone off: wait for them to greet you! If they say “Merry Christmas,” say it back. Same with Happy Holidays or any other message of Holiday cheer. Sometimes, I...

Politics and religion are interwoven with each other. Many people’s ideologies are influenced by their religious beliefs. These beliefs can shape their views on topics like abortion, LGBTQ+ rights and social justice. People often draw upon their...

I’ve often fantasized about creating a belief system based on the Universe as the true creator of all things big and small. And being a preacher who preaches the same. It’s taken time to come to such a conclusion, the polar opposite of what I was...

This time last year, I was a candidate for Chesapeake Public School Board. I wrote an article last year about the need for more secular elected officials in our country. Sadly, not much has changed since then. Just this past week, our Supreme Court has...

When I studied at Harvard Divinity School, Master of Divinity ’93, it became evident that our old religions — all part of our very early efforts to understand and cope with the withering and unrelenting demands of life — are products of the infancy of...

My name is Gutenberg. I have decided to host a barbecue. I will be inviting everyone on Daily Kos. That includes theists, atheists and those dithering fence-sitting agnostics. I will supply the food, grill, charcoals and the JP-5 jet fuel. I assume...

Hey, regarding all this atheist vs. believers flame war, I (exhaustively) repeat — there’s SO much dialogue regarding other issues out there that suggests,”If you don’t like something, don’t DO it.” Like abortion. If you don’t like it, don’t get one....

Let me start by saying I respect, vote for and fight for the right to follow your faith, and to hold what ever beliefs you choose. (As long as you don’t harm or try to force you beliefs on others) However, I don’t RESPECT you faith. To me faith is not...

I cannot recommend this article enough. It’s message is simple and Lindy West lays it out beautifully. Her summation is: “There are a lot of people in the world who have nothing. Faith in a higher power gives them one thing. You know what we call...

Religion/Faith/Spirituality only becomes a problem when it’s adherents decide they know what is best for others than those actual others do, and attempt to gain power and control over those others. History is lousy with this nonsense and there are...

I’ve never been more ashamed of the community here than over the last few days. One troll diary posts about how much she hates religion, and we are all at each other’s throats. Shame on all of us. Our tribal nature has been exploited here. We are...

I decided this comment I wrote on novapsyche’s recent diary was substantial enough to rate a diary of its own, with some revision and expansion. In particular, I was moved to respond to this paragraph that novapsyche wrote: First, the believing folk...

I grew up in an evangelical "church" I put it in quotes because church is a misnomer. It was a cult. Straight up a doomsday cult. I was taught that there were these evil people who believed in an evil religion called "evolutionism" and that they were...

“Vayikra” —we are called (freely translated) Lev. 1:1-5:26 — Isa. 43:21–44:23. The world in chaos is the very definition of history in our hands, depending upon how we respond. History records volunteers in every imaginable endeavor, building networks...
