Not Knowing Is Most Intimate
It's an invitation to drop the burden of constant seeking and simply be. In the intimacy, we touch the essence of existence itself.

Atheists Can Find Meaning Without God
Atheist spirituality can be moral and responsible, pluralistic and skeptical. It can embrace awe, gratitude, and reverence.

My Reconstruction Was Transformative
Essentially, I traded everything that I used to believe for the one thing that I now know, the "pearl of great price."

Beliefs Are NOT Real
They are speculations, abstract and conceptual words attempting to describe what is real. Relationships are real.

Healthy Interfaith Dialogue Is NOT Based On Evangelism
We should meet people where they are and speak each other's languages. We cannot remain in our own bubbles.

Are Faith And Science Compatible?
If we accept religious claims despite ANY evidence to the contrary (no matter how compelling or credible), how will we progress?

There Are Aspects Of Many Religions That Puzzle Outsiders.
Some people find humor in their others' beliefs, but NOT their own beliefs. And some would rather NOT know if their beliefs were incorrect.

Does Christian Theology Make Sense In The Modern World?
What if Earth is NOT the center of the universe and human beings are NOT the only intelligent beings? Does our theology match our reality?

We Act With Compassion When We Depersonalize Things.
What I call my "self" is an impersonation of myself, a construct arising from chemistry, conditioning and connections.

Anger Often Accompanies Faith Deconstruction.
Some people who think that "God is on my side," citing their scriptures or traditions, can be angry and violent, as well as fervent.

We Think We "Know" Because We Believe
We all disbelieve in many gods. We all ground our beliefs or disbelief in gods on opinions, not facts. All theology is speculation.

Binary Thinking Is Usually Simplistic Thinking
Most attributes are NOT binary; they are arrayed on a spectrum. And many political and religious issues are NOT simple; they are complex.

Theology Has Teeth
Can a politics of personal responsibility and a theology of personal salvation produce a society that works for all (not just some) of us?

Christians Can No Longer Plead Ignorance
And Christians' reluctance to listen will only hasten the church's decline. Those of us who left have been crystal clear about why we left.

Christianity Focuses More On Beliefs Than Practices
Most traditions hold their beliefs less literally. Many traditions frequently rely on allegorical, metaphorical or mythical interpretations.

We Try To Balance Our Spiritual Life And Our Spiritual Practice
When we do that, we are really wondering how best to love our neighbors as ourselves, how best to be present to life.

Perhaps Ultimate Reality (God) Is The Mind Of The Universe
and the universe is a great thought. God is NOT a being; God is Consciousness. We do NOT have a relationship with God; we participate in God.
