A blunt review on American and European religion. Meet the Irish Atheist. December 14, 2014. 6 Reasons LGBT People Should Leave the Church. Being an LGBT Christian, or an LGBT person in a Christian environment, can be a literal nightmare. I know. I was there once. Abomination, reprobate. Broken, confused, degenerate, pervert. Going to hell, going to get AIDS, child molester, child recruiter. Fix yourself, fix yourself, better fix yourself or you’ll burn in hell. Instead, I’m angry. I am angry a...These a...

https://theirishatheist.wordpress.com/2014/08/27/no-christians-there-is-no-third-way-on-homosexuality
A blunt review on American and European religion. Meet the Irish Atheist. August 27, 2014. No, Christians. There is no ‘Third Way’ on Homosexuality. One of the very first references the Bible makes to LGBT people is a command to execute gay men. 8220;If a man lies with a male as with a women, both of them shall be put to death for their abominable deed; they have forfeited their lives.”. But that’s not the world we live in, and so this article is necessary. Like race, eye colour, artistic or intellectual...

A blunt review on American and European religion. Meet the Irish Atheist. October 27, 2014. When I Was A Boy In Belfast. Many of my posts are responsive. I hear about an event or incident or encounter an argument and I respond on my blog with my thoughts. This is not one of those posts. This post is a love letter to my favourite city in the world, Belfast. Am I going to turn a corner and die because someone with a religious-political grudge wants to make a statement? Where did that come from? But they we...

A blunt review on American and European religion. Meet the Irish Atheist. Daily Archives: May 11, 2015. May 11, 2015. Because I’m A Gypsy. But there are other labels that could have applied as well. One of them is of course my identity as a sexual minority, being an openly bisexual man. And then of course, the one that is the most misunderstood, the most difficult to explain, and often the most maligned. My ethnicity. I am a Gypsy. Today, the Romani communities particularly in Europe face discrimination.

A blunt review on American and European religion. Meet the Irish Atheist. October 18, 2014. The Spirit of Driscoll Lives On in the Bullying of Others. The Man has fallen. Letter that he believed that stepping down was for the good of his family and his ministry. Coincidentally, the board that he personally appointed also found that none of his actions excluded him from ministry in the future, so. The Return of the Dudebro Pastor. Might already be in preproduction. But my purpose here isn’t to gloat...

A blunt review on American and European religion. Meet the Irish Atheist. Daily Archives: February 13, 2015. February 13, 2015. A Lament for Leelah. It’s been forty-four days since Leelah Alcorn stepped out into traffic and tragically ended her short life. Forty-four days since she was immortalized by that fickle siryn named Internet. Forty-four days since the struggles and trials and grief of the trans community was thrust into the public spotlight for the worst reason imaginable. Three days after Leela...

A blunt review on American and European religion. Meet the Irish Atheist. Daily Archives: November 26, 2014. November 26, 2014. What You Can Do About Ferguson. You can shut the fuck up. You can shut the fuck up and listen. And by ‘you’ I mean you, me, and all of us who walk down the street every day safely swaddled in the bulletproof vest of our white privilege. You can listen to the anger of a community whose young men are gunned down without cause or penalty. You can stop bemoaning how the whiny libera...

https://theirishatheist.wordpress.com/2014/03/18/the-day-i-went-back-to-church
A blunt review on American and European religion. Meet the Irish Atheist. March 18, 2014. The Day I Went Back to Church. There are an estimated 3.7 million church buildings in the world. I am willing to walk into one of them. And only on one day of the year. Here, there is no Catholic or Protestant, atheist or pagan. No one cares that I’m an ex-Catholic, now godless. Such divisions are petty at the best of times, and on this afternoon they’re absolute sacrilege. There’s a woman a few pews down from...
