Not believing in the resurrection is a deeper Christian belief — Ask 99.9% of Christians, and they’ll tell you that without the Resurrection of Jesus, Christianity is as useful as a mojito without rum. The Resurrection is the whole point of Christianity. In 2010, Christianity.com laid it out like this, “Without the Resurrection of Jesus Christ -” the Gospels would be…

Introduction I have many wishes: a million dollars, a one-day workweek, and free steak just to name a few things. But we know these are ridiculous wishes. I also wish that politics was religion-free. Especially politics that are free of evangelicalism/fundamentalism. In the United States, religion has always played a part…

Why they still love Trump — As a former conservative voter and evangelical, I have been stumped as to why smart people I know still support Trump. I even wonder if they have some sort of mental disease. It’s something I think about a lot, talk about with like-minded friends, and even debate with Trump supporters…

I’m trying not to regret becoming a Christian — I’m writing this because writing can be cathartic. I also can’t afford a counselor. In 1995, I became a Christian. Baptism and all. Basically, I did it for a girl, the oldest reason in the book. Like Adam, I wandered around my early 20s without anyone to share life with…

Let’s redefine the narrative before it’s too late — I think every politician has said something similar to Reagan’s quotation above that “America’s best days are yet to come.” Obviously, “best days” can mean different things to different people depending on where they are on the political and cultural spectrum. …

The Dems need a proven candidate — Being new to the Democratic Party side of politics, I’m already scouring news stories about who could replace Biden in 2024. Right now, Roy Cooper (on Medium, he is @nc-governor) should be the one. In 2020, I would have voted for Dez Nuts. I stopped voting Republican in 2016 and…

Bringing the Taliban to the GOP — You know the meme. The one of Homer Simpson slowly disappearing into the bushes and then sometimes coming out as something different? That is today’s GOP, the Mitt Romney wing of the party is quickly disappearing with the Toxic GOP coming out as its replacement. If we looked at the…

I like an honest conversation. It’s the only thing, I believe, that can move us forward. — So when I see Republican candidates like Glenn Youngkin becoming governor on the platform of fighting against the bogeyman of Critical Race Theory, and then other GOP-sponsored laws against “divisive” history, I have to wonder who these voters really are? American history is complex. It includes innovation, heroics, and moving…

When asked, I tell people that I’m an Agnostic who prefers to live like a Christian. I heard this challenge from a radio talk show host, who wondered aloud why Agnostics lived like Atheists. He asked, “why not still attend church?” As a Christian, this question made sense. …
