Why the fuck do people think Jesus being God is a good thing? You want to call yourself God, knock your self the fuck out but you get all the baggage associated with that deity. Why would anyone want that? For me finding Jesus as God just means that Jesus wants me...
Authenticity, an Existential Threat to Christianity
I think another reason a lot of people on the spectrum (including myself) are not Christian is we often don't have the social skills to know what should be said only in private verses what can be said in public. Even if we do know this we had to learn it...
Jesus
People (at least Christians) say Jesus being God is good. All I say is when you claim to be God you own all the baggage associated with him. Why would you want that. So I'm supposed to believe Jesus told me all the crazy shit God did. I know Christians go out of...

Intuition: What is this intuition you speak of? My intuition is as good as the foam package it came in. Over and over trusting people, including good friends and just getting my head handed to me. And of course in social situations being awkward as heck. I don't...

life
In a calculus proof the outcome is subject to the laws of mathematics. Christianity is not like that. Whether Christianity is true is itself incarnational. The only way you show it to be true or false is the way you live your life. This is why youth directors and...
Mental Advent
A parody of advent, for people who the church wished didn't exist. Week 1: The Empowerment Candle - Hope is great but without power it usually just melts away. For example if you are in an abusive or exploitative situation, having power is what counters these people...
humility
I tend to regularly rail against western religion here but I will give it credit where it is due. It has a failure management mechanism that isn't half bad. Basically modern psychology tells people to double down on their pride after they fail. But Judeo-Christian...
psychology
If it weren't for psychology America would be much less religious. A lot of the millennials' move away from Christianity can be seen as a result of them being resistant to strains of psychology that worked on the older generation. We are in touch with our thought...
