I’ve been thinking about life, death and abortion recently. Maybe because I’m home in Oregon and the weather is dark and dull and powerful, or maybe because there are a lot of little children in my family or my sister is pregnant or my mom keeps reminding me of how I should’ve died in childbirth [...]

On a church billboard near my parents’ house in Oregon I saw this sign:
“People use Duct Tape to fix everything. God used nails.”
I guffawed immediately – but then became sober as its many meanings sank in. God used nails? Ok – maybe if we accept that Jesus Christ had to die in sacrifice for the [...]

I found this incredible list of proofs for God on Facebook, posted by Andre Lessard (University of Ottawa). I can’t imagine the amount of hours that went into it. Read and enjoy!
Favorite ridiculous reasons people say god is real

TRANSCENDENTAL ARGUMENT, a.k.a. PRESUPPOSITIONALIST (I)

We don’t pick up the phone in our family. We ignore all the ringing and only call back our friends – who, we assume, will leave a message. Sometimes we get the feeling that it’s a real call and pick up, but if there’s more than a second of pause (we know this means the [...]

There are a lot of theories that try to explain why we hunt for colored eggs left by a big bunny on Easter, the celebration of Jesus’ death and resurrection. The one I used to believe, was that it comes from the story of a North-European goddess: she found a hurt bunny, fixed him (by [...]

When I first saw the documentary “Zeitgeist”, I said to myself “Amazing. It’s my book, exactly, put in a movie form” (although, since I’m not listed in the credits, I guess all the research was done independently). We even used a lot of the same quotes and pictures. If the research is that easy, the [...]

When I was a teenager I read a book on prosperity -Jonathan Livingston Seagull – that recommended giving things away as a test to see how fast they would come back to you. I.e., give away some money and wait for it to come back.
That night I went into a restaurant and told the lady [...]

I’ve just found a fascinating website while searching for information about starting businesses overseas. It’s called “Tent Maker” and discusses how you can start a business overseas as a form of “low key evangelism”.

“Jesus is still looking for disciples
some to leave their nets

It’s been a long while since I’ve found a record-worthy topic of spiritual interest. Last week I was having lunch with a friend in Jinju, Korea. Just before we dug into our sushi, she bowed her head and clasped her hands together in prayer. I’m an easy-going, open-minded person; I have nothing against her or [...]

Here’s something you probably didn’t know: when you hear people talking about sticking it to The Man, and how The Man is always on your back – the phrase was coined by Heidegger in his book Being and Time. “Das Man” is, basically, “the THEY” – or in other words, everybody else. Das Man already [...]
