I've been meditating on and off since 2017. When I first read about it in Sapiens, I was astonished. I was reading a book that didn't focus on spiritual trivia, yet here was the author explaining how he has a daily meditation practice. I started using an app called 'headspace' in 2017, which you can … Continue reading Book Review: Waking Up
I want to know all the answers. It’s maddening really, the quest for knowing trumps the quest into being time and time again. I seem to have a desire to understand so much to make sure I am either believing things that are correct or seeing where I am wrong and move onto a ground … Continue reading To answer it all
I heard about this book on the Waking Up app. I use it every single day to meditate and reflect. I tend to get up at 5 am, get a cup of coffee, spend some time stretching (yoga) and then meditate for at least 10 mins before I do anything else. I will be writing … Continue reading Book Review: The Diving Bell and the Butterfly
Agnostic Atheist. It's a term I have used a lot on the podcast and one that I explain in this way. Agnostic is due to knowledge; I don't know if God is real or not. Atheist is because I am not convinced that there is a God, not because I know there isn't a God. … Continue reading So what now?
When I look at what someone says, whether it is for or against a religious stance in regard to God, do I address it as I would hope someone would address what I say? I seem to have a few 'favourites’ in the anti-Christian world. Authors, YouTubers, podcasters, bloggers etc. Is it because I am … Continue reading Adjusting
I don't know how to say this. I think this book might have changed everything. I am still reeling from it, so maybe after a cup of tea and a good walk, I will be able to brush it off and move on, but something is itching in I am not saying I am a … Continue reading Book Review: Miracles
I write this mid-June 2020 and there has been a lot going on in the world recently. Rarely have I found myself on social media so much, stunned at what I am witnessing unfold within the world. Race. Feminism. Trans. Rights. Privilege. Politics. These subjects have been capturing the minds and hearts of many across … Continue reading Conversations…
I read this a couple of years, and ago very early on in my deconversion, I found it very interesting. I wanted to come back to it again and managed to pick it up on Audible so I thought I would give it a listen. It's narrated by Mr Dawkins and his now ex-wife Lalla … Continue reading Book Review: The God Delusion
I have read a couple of books by Christopher Hitchens - God is Not Great & Mortality. I am currently re-reading God is Not Great, and you can expect a book review in the next couple of weeks. By 'reading' I actually mean 'listening' as I have read it before I thought it would be … Continue reading Book Review: The Portable Atheist
I've been listening to a lot of podcasts recently. Trying to work through the backlogs of both 'Unbelievable?' and 'The Thinking Atheist' especially. I love these two podcasts, as they draw in a variety of guests, ideas and discussions. I also enjoy having one Christian podcast and one Atheist podcast - feels like a fairer … Continue reading Convinced about God…
