Welcome! This blog covers my thoughts and struggles as an ex-Christian. If you like, read my introductory post. I've also written two "concluding" posts on why I no longer post here that often. Feel free to comment!

Unthinking respect for authority is the greatest enemy of truth.
Also thinking about it a bit.... how can an imperfect being such as ourselves even *conceive* of a perfect being? Wouldn't any of our conceptions - by definition - be imperfect?
So when we say 'perfect' do we just mean 'much better'?
