It is very easy, when leaving a religion, to push every aspect of it away and never look at it again. Maybe this is best for some people, but I don't think it's right for everyone, and I would argue it is not right for society (at least within the UK) as a whole. Do … Continue reading The Substrate
Humanity dawned 200,000 years ago at the first (known) homo sapiens existence. 1,800,000 years before that homo Erectus was here on the earth. Homo erectus were not mindless apes wandering the savanna. They knew how to use fire in a controlled manner to clear areas. They could defiantly communicate, they could laugh, play, fight, kill, … Continue reading Staggering Time
I almost stopped today. For a good hour this morning, I almost pulled the plug on it all. Does my voice matter? Does this blog make a difference? Is it helping me to share all this with you all? What if I regret what I share? What will my children think about all of this? … Continue reading Throwing in the towel
I need to purchase some new podcast & video editing equipment as my computer is failing 
If you are here it’s because you either know me personally, watch/listen to the podcast each Wednesday or read the blog each Saturday. I am currently running everything from a 2013 iMac that I inherited from my Grandad, … Continue reading GoFundMe – The Ask

I think it's important to distinguish the Christian undercurrents that affected the West's development over the last two thousand years and my own personal commitments … Continue reading A Difference…
Before I had let go of my religious conviction, when I realised it wasn't rooted in anything tangible, I always thought that people knew, deep down, that God was literally real. Rather than being honestly uncertain about His existence, they rather wanted to live their own way and didn't want anything to do with Him. … Continue reading Could God…
It's April 2020 as I write this. The UK has just been told we are about to enter into a further 3 weeks of lockdown due to the COVID-19 pandemic, with an expectation that things will continue after that as well. Most people have found themselves with a little more time on their hands compared … Continue reading Dragged into the fray
I am tired of people not knowing what I believe or why I believe it. But why am I tired of this? Why do I keep being tempted to share my views and my beliefs with the world? I know that I share my views with you all on here, but you have found this … Continue reading To Go Public Or Not?
I got a physical letter the other day. I spoke to a good friend and told them that I had deconstructed my faith. They had a really good conversation with me and following our chat they went away and read through my first ten or so blog posts. I wanted to share my response to … Continue reading A Letter to a Friend
