I believe that every church in the US should be taxed just as any other not-for-profit organization and charity is taxed, and that such taxes should be designated monies for social "welfare" programs…Continue

I ask the question in the title because I am curious about your answers. I was having a conversation with my father a month ago. We were having a lengthy conversation about a variety of things and…Continue

Barry Adamson commented on Misty: Baytheist Living!'s blog post 'Why you so angry, atheists? Whyyyyyy?'Barry Adamson posted a blog postWhere the Hurt is...
There is so much to say and such small words to say it with. Who hurt you? Who caused you to suffer loss; who brought about an unrealized soul? No room for reflection; no room for thought – a time of repression, a time of distraught.No matter where you go, there are lost souls. They are all around. They exist in buildings and cars, shops on Main Street, homes in neighborhoods, businesses in skyscrapers, and little eateries on the corner street. Lost Souls – the kind that go to work every…See More
Barry Adamson replied to Cameron's discussion 'Therapeutic Touch and other "medical" nonsense'"To clarify, none of my TT experiences involved hovering hands over the body. Actual touch was involved. I did go to a Reiki practitioner a couple of times and a massage therapist. Both used actual physical touch - thus the Therapeutic…"
Barry Adamson replied to Cameron's discussion 'Therapeutic Touch and other "medical" nonsense'"Here! Here!"
Barry Adamson replied to Cameron's discussion 'Therapeutic Touch and other "medical" nonsense'"Actually, TT (such as Reiki), you would be wrong to say that it was "made up in the 70s - and it was hardly in western practice. Most of these therapies are tied in some form or another to ancient "healing" practices from the…"
Barry Adamson replied to Cameron's discussion 'Therapeutic Touch and other "medical" nonsense'"As one who has been a patient of TT, and who has a sister who is a nurse and utilizes TT, I can say that it does work. Now, I am not saying that I buy into the human energy mysticism idea - I think a lot of the science behind TT is still…"
Barry Adamson commented on Elizabeth Williams's blog post 'Losing my friends.'"Those who choose to deny your friendship over something such as your atheism are really not friends to you at all. If they are Christian, and presumably so since you are in the "Bible Belt," they should try a little bit of that…"
Barry Adamson replied to Unseen's discussion 'Is it time for a revolution?'"There should be one. We are no longer a nation of free people, but a nation of slaves to corporate America. Our government hardly serves us, but instead overwhelmingly serves corporate America. My wife cringes every time I say…"

Barry Adamson replied to Misty: Baytheist Living!'s discussion 'The JWs came back...'"If all else fails, answer the door naked and invite them to come on in!

- About Me:
- I am a former pastor who left the church. I am still a theist and still a follower of Jesus, just not a slave to the church - which in my recent opinion is a whore to politics and institutional slavery of the mind. I believe in freedom of thought, which requires education and the ability to listen and value differences in understanding the world. I am not here to convert anyone or proselytize my beliefs, but to listen, to learn, and to share information. Being religious does not make one morally superior - in many ways it can produce or sustain the opposite effect.

- Why are you here?
- To listen, to learn, and to share.
- Why you left your religion.
- I left an associate pastor position in an SBC church for sake of family safety and political reasons. A prominent, well-monied, and church-politically powerful family did not value the safety and well-being of one of my children and when I went to politely address the matter, my job was threatened. Soon thereafter the senior pastor (who gave me the green-light to address the problem, and who said he'd have my back) quickly abandoned me. He then forced his authority on my family and tried to usurp my position as the father by trying to force my children to be a part of a children's program - one that was deemed unsafe by my wife and myself. It was a devastating experience, but I am recovering and so is my family.
