This is the first post I have written and published in the same week - feels strange. I just wanted to let you know that on the 3rd of June that the podcast 'When Belief Dies' will be doing live. That's a mere four days away - I am very excited. It has taken a … Continue reading The podcast is going live!
Do you realise that within five years every atom in your body is replaced? The body I had five years ago has gone. With time, water and food I have unwillingly replaced it all. I have no control over this process. I can affect how my body looks and how I feel depending on what … Continue reading Free Will and ‘I’
What holds you to your belief system? I think a lot about anchors in every area of my life. For example, what anchors me to my job? For me, the following four things are the biggest providers of job satisfaction: Enjoyment, Progression, Learning & Finance. If you take away one of these four anchors, I … Continue reading The Anchor
A few blog posts ago I mentioned Richard Feynman's famous quote; “I would rather have questions that can't be answered than answers that can't be questioned.” From what limited research I have time to do, I cannot find any source or reference to Feynman actually saying this, though he seems to have expressed similar thoughts … Continue reading A question of answers and assumptions
You can't escape it, wherever you look the fingerprints of Christianity can be found and their touch goes far beyond the mere surface appearance. The west and the west's reach across the globe has been built upon Christian ideas. Yes - of course it has done a lot of harm, but it has also done … Continue reading The Infiltration of Christ
I haven't told many people about my gradual deconversion from Christianity to something (I am still uncertain if I can really give myself the title Atheist yet...). But I have been thinking a lot about why I am so reluctant to talk to people about my loss of faith in God. I think it comes … Continue reading Just stop engaging…
I wrote a blog post about mourning God last week... I told someone that I love very much that I was 'mourning God' yesterday. They broke down and cried. I asked them 'what's wrong?', and they told me 'I am mourning you, because without your Faith what are you'? Here are the thoughts that flowed … Continue reading I Mourn For You
When I realised I was mourning God - I was shocked. You morn something when it has gone, when it has taken flight and you realise that things are no longer the same, that things will never again be the same. When I think about mourning, I quickly realise that I have mourned SO many … Continue reading Mourning God
It is fair to say that humans, more often than not, prefer comfort over discomfort. We have evolved to seek safety and security, rather that wanting to go into hostile environments that could threaten our well being. We need to survive in order to reproduce - that is how the continuation of our species works. … Continue reading Comfort
Your questions have probably been asked before. It has taken me a while to realise that with everything I am going through, someone else will have been on a similar journey. Where we end up could, of course, be different but that doesn't mean I shouldn't take the time to stop and understand who else … Continue reading Those Who Went Before
