Attention Atheists

Attention atheists who say "atheists don't do horrible things in the name of their religion."

Please go read a book about the cultural revolution.

Haha! I keep waiting for Him to make the first reconciliatory move. I'm not sure that's going to work out, though. Maybe I'll have to be the big one in our relationship.

I dunno, man. I can't answer to your anger at God.

I can answer to my frustration and feeling of powerlessness when reading about the horrors of 20th century Chinese history.

Dinner with God

Maybe if you could just sit down and have a nice dinner with God, the two of you could work things out between you.

No son-eating though!

Or maybe I've just finished reading James Morrow's Only Begotten Daughter.
