Review: “The Christians”

This was my first Lucas Hnath play at Actors Theater in Louisville, KY.  I enjoyed his unique writing that left me leaving the auditorium with more questions than answers about belief and faith.  The best part is that Lucas did not show his cards and did not force his opinion among the masses.  He did the […]

“Yoga” To Be Kidding Me…

College newspapers are not totally worthless. They are where young journalists go to learn… and espouse hatred. This was an opinion piece from a well-known “Christian” college… ____ Rethink yoga March 13, 2014 Deborah Raiees-Dana We are cultural beings. We learn what is acceptable from those around us, and that becomes our unconscious reality. When […]

The Pleasure Business

Pornographers don’t sell pornography; they provide orgasms. I know the institutional church thinks pornography is a sin, but they sure do like their business practices.  No, institutional churches are not selling pornography, but they do provide orgasms of a different more mental form. As I started to question why I was doing what I was […]

Born Again By Leaving “church”

Most professing Christians believe that being “born again” occurs in this life upon “receiving Jesus.” Well to me I think that teaching I heard for years, getting pounded into my cranium, is hogwash. It was not until I read and discussed my readings about this subject that it started to become less foggy.  My findings […]

Separation FROM “church” and “state”…

… that is exactly what I want to be separated from.. church, state, and any other man-made piece of BS institution. If looking at the whole bible as a book written to reveal Christ to us, which I feel is the essence of Christianity, then I feel Christians should dig deep and reconsider the relationship […]

I am an “I Don’t Know” Christian

I will take “Doctrinal Differences” for $1000 Alex… … a phrase in referring to the resolution of a conflict (usually a debate or quarrel) in which all parties tolerate but do not accept the opposing position or positions. What is “Agreeing to Disagree” … Correct! This term typically occurs when all sides recognize that further […]

I am a Churcharchist!

Drawing anarchy symbols all over my folders when I was in high school was not because I liked alternative music, it was an act of foreshadowing for my life with Christ. I never realized how much my thinking leaned toward anarchist ways until after many years of being sucked into a human made system called […]

A Cliché-Free Church

You know everything happens for a reason, right? People are dying in tragic events everyday and are moving on to a better place.  So if you died, do you know where you would go? Well since you are not dead, let me share my faith with you and then maybe you can come to church […]
