the ArmChair Thoughts

In a recent talk I had with a religious acquintance on his faith and how it has opened up possibilties and helped him see past the violence happening around him.

Christmas day and this post just seem the perfect timing; it has now reached the 6th; better put: for the 6th time I’m poking religion in the nose. In case you have missed Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4, or Part 5, catch up on them and let’s reason together. Continuing in that [...]

God is sure merciful; how else can a being so powerful and mighty take so many criticism, and still remain quiet. Or maybe it is the case that this “being” doesn’t exist more than we’ve decided to  imagine. Continuing in my series of my favorite quotes on God, this is the 4th edition, maybe you [...]
