    Is God Good

    Published August 26th, 2009

    “Can humans decide to blow up a dam they built?” Why not? “Can an artist destroy a painting after he’s sold it?” No, not after he’s sold it. But God never sold humanity, so that is not a good analogy. An artist is certainly welcome to make a work of [...]

    Yes, it sounds and looks like semantics.
    God, to me, is the English word to describe a universal force. It doesn’t matter to me what that force is called – it still rules everything, including you and me.
    I’m not sure how I feel about deities. I honour the Moon, for example. I recognise her as a [...]

    Hi again, thanks for your earlier reply, I’ll try to take things gradually.
    On the bright side, college has been really great, I’ve told several people here, including my CA, who is a very devout Catholic, that I’m an atheist, and it doesn’t seem to bother them that much at all.

    I was looking at some of the email you receive on your site and post up. Of all the things you get the most though, nothing makes me more of a misanthrope then when people insist on attacking you personally for your beliefs. All you seem to want to do it instill a sense of [...]
