An ex-secular theist explains how you've been lied to. Friday, January 30, 2015. If he has one flaw, it's this: he is too gracious to know when his time is being wasted. C'mon Eventually it's time to say, 'This is simply a waste of time.', ban, and move on. Tuesday, January 27, 2015. The art of dropping an intellectual bomb. The next time you're faced with one of the really. So if your daughter told you she accepted Christ, how hard would you hit her? I won't lie: ask this question, and you're playing wi...

Crude Ideas: December 2014
http://crudeideas.blogspot.com/2014_12_01_archive.html
An ex-secular theist explains how you've been lied to. Thursday, December 25, 2014. And that is all for now. Friday, December 19, 2014. In light of the recent, apparent bullshit from 'Jackie' of UVA and Lena Dunham, a thought: the most revolutionary thing you can do when a woman tells you she's been sexually assaulted is to ask for some fucking evidence. In reality, it's the exact opposite: it's fairness, and it's long overdue. Thursday, December 18, 2014. As much as people are loathe to admit it, North ...

Crude Ideas: November 2014
http://crudeideas.blogspot.com/2014_11_01_archive.html
An ex-secular theist explains how you've been lied to. Sunday, November 30, 2014. One reason I've never felt particularly in sync with other Christians is that my belief in God A) is logically prior to my belief in Christ, and B) my commitment to Christianity is based partly on willful commitment, alongside rational persuasion - with emotional investment taking the hindmost. Luckily I'm a guy who prefers isolation to the usual alternatives. Thursday, November 27, 2014. Have some Ferguson commentary.

Crude Ideas: What Trump offers
http://crudeideas.blogspot.com/2015/07/what-trump-offers.html
An ex-secular theist explains how you've been lied to. Monday, July 27, 2015. So, as if this writing, Trump's made a few moves of interest. Lost business contracts, but a whole lot of fame and admiration, along with surging poll numbers. This, despite most of the GOP immediately trying to attack and bury him, since they're on Team SJW when it comes to this kind of thing. McCain limped away bitterly, and Trump somehow moved even further ahead in the polls. A bit like Romney, but shh, don't bring that up.

Crude Ideas: March 2015
http://crudeideas.blogspot.com/2015_03_01_archive.html
An ex-secular theist explains how you've been lied to. Saturday, March 28, 2015. By the by, in case you missed it - Atheist sorts are at it again, causing a brand new schism among atheists. Atheists had been maintaining a block bot that censors out Badthink Experiences on Twitter. Really, the most I can say here is - I always said the 'Freethinker' label for atheists was a load of horseshit. But man, could they have possibly made it more obvious than that?

Crude Ideas: The ID Approach to God vs the Thomistic Approach
http://crudeideas.blogspot.com/2015/06/the-id-approach-to-god-vs-thomistic.html
An ex-secular theist explains how you've been lied to. Saturday, June 13, 2015. The ID Approach to God vs the Thomistic Approach. 1 Start with loose, mostly unexamined metaphysical principles. 2 Take note of what intelligent agents can do. 3 Examine the world for that which looks designed by an intelligent agent. 4 Assuming such a thing is found, identify communications that seem reasonably from the agent. 5 If the agent identifies as God/supernatural and seems trustworthy, trust them.

Crude Ideas: Liberal Christians are Christians no more.
http://crudeideas.blogspot.com/2015/07/liberal-christians-are-christians-no.html
An ex-secular theist explains how you've been lied to. Thursday, July 2, 2015. Liberal Christians are Christians no more. A short thought that I'd like to expand on later, but which I'll put succinctly soon. When you think about it, Christians being untaxed is really unfair. Shouldn't we render unto Caesar? That's a bible quote, you know! Christians need to reclaim the public mantle of love, and people see opposition to gay marriage as hateful! And so on, and so on. It's a very easy line in the sand: if ...
