Random thoughts of an ex-christian: Mind shift
http://random-thoughts-ex-christian.blogspot.com/2012/09/mind-shift.html
Random thoughts of an ex-christian. Sunday, September 2, 2012. This all changed with my new worldview and I have had to re-think everything. Now imagine how radically that has all changed. I've already discussed some of the realizations. That led me here along with some reasons. Since we don't know how we got here (evolved, created or something in-between) what should we do now?

Random thoughts of an ex-christian: October 2014
http://random-thoughts-ex-christian.blogspot.com/2014_10_01_archive.html
Random thoughts of an ex-christian. Wednesday, October 22, 2014. One problem I realized I had when I was a Christian was that I had an unbalanced amount of trust for the authors of the Bible. How is it that we can so easily disregard all other fantastic stories made by ancient men, but then give undue amounts of trust to the authors of the canonized books? Here are some examples of claims made by men a long time ago:. 2 Monopods (one-legged jumping humans) are claimed to be seen in ancient India. It ...

Random thoughts of an ex-christian: Deconversion Realizations
http://random-thoughts-ex-christian.blogspot.com/2012/06/deconversion-realizations.html
Random thoughts of an ex-christian. Tuesday, June 26, 2012. Let's start with the realization that kick-started my deconversion process. There is not a single, good reason for calling the Bible "God's Word". Because God was not telling them what to do. Men have done this all on their own (and it's been done many other times in other cultures / religions). We are left with an "orthodox" canon because the minority "un-orthodox" groups (such as the Gnostics. When I was a Christian I assumed that Christianity...

Random thoughts of an ex-christian: Why I am no longer a Christian
http://random-thoughts-ex-christian.blogspot.com/2012/02/my-top-ten-list.html
Random thoughts of an ex-christian. Tuesday, February 28, 2012. Why I am no longer a Christian. Here are some reasons for why I am no longer a Christian:. Contradictions in the Bible. Christianity is centered around the Bible and it's divine message, the inconsistencies and contradictions within the Bible are evidence of it being uninspired. It is passed as a single, unified book from God, but it is just a collection of religious texts from ancient writers and should be treated as such. Good and bad thin...

Random thoughts of an ex-christian: Facts that dislodged my faith in the Bible
http://random-thoughts-ex-christian.blogspot.com/2013/03/facts-that-dislodged-my-faith-in-bible.html
Random thoughts of an ex-christian. Tuesday, March 12, 2013. Facts that dislodged my faith in the Bible. I once believed that the Bible was historically accurate. Carbon dating of ancient settlements. At around 4000 BC. The Kish tablet. Is said to be the oldest preserved writing we have from the Sumerians and is dated to ca. 3500 BC. There have been human settlements discovered that date back much further than the Sumerians. For example, the buildings at Gobekli Tepe. Also, in the post-flood world there ...

Random thoughts of an ex-christian: Reading between the lines
http://random-thoughts-ex-christian.blogspot.com/2013/08/reading-between-lines.html
Random thoughts of an ex-christian. Thursday, August 22, 2013. Reading between the lines. Please carefully read Genesis 3:14-19. Before reading this post. You may not see it at first, but within these six verses of specific curses for Adam, Eve and a snake are a multitude of punishments beyond imagining. You have to look very closely to realize what is actually being said: The entire universe is cursed with countless curses because of Adam and Eve's disobedience. And even for children and infants? The fi...

Random thoughts of an ex-christian: Trying to explain the universe
http://random-thoughts-ex-christian.blogspot.com/2013/10/trying-to-explain-universe.html
Random thoughts of an ex-christian. Sunday, October 27, 2013. Trying to explain the universe. Claiming God as the ultimate explanation for what exists raises at least as many questions as it answers" -. I found the above quote while reading a new article. On the Secular Web by Richard Smith. He gives a very concise explanation for why he no longer sees Christianity as a credible worldview and it is worth checking out. Personally I feel it is more honest to say that I don't know how the universe got here ...
