To be honest there is only one thing I truly miss about my years as a christian and that is the community that existed. There were people there for you no matter what time of day. There was always some event planned that you could attend and some of them could be a lot of fun. I felt like I belonged to a big family and most of my best friends came from my involvement in the church. I now feel like I have been taken from a city of friends and family and shipped off to the desert to live a…

So, there is a group on Facebook called Creationism and the Origin of Life. The admin on this group is pretty much a tyrannical dictator who will delete your posts if he disagrees with you, if you don't capitalise the "G" in the word god (no matter what the context), and has a lot of other ridiculous rules. Anyway, before I get booted from his discussions I decided to at least attempt to debate him. If anyone could help me out with how to respond to some of these posts I would appreciate…

So it is Christmas day and I have just arrived at my Grandparents home to celebrate as is the tradition and has been since I remember. One thing has changed since those days of old and that is my deconversion from fundamentalist christian into atheism. This is something that only my brother and his wife are aware of and even then we avoid the subject. 

 

But I digress.. 

 

I had just arrived at my grandparents home and open the door to walk into the middle of a…

In the style of the late and great George Carlin, I decided to do a little rant about myself.



I am a larger than life, larger than most, kind and loving gentleman. I

am really tall and really overweight. quick to kindness and slow to

anger. Polite when I can be, I look for the inner beauty of people. I

don't overwork, overindulge, overplay, overanalyze, or over do it. I

love the arts, love animals, lover my family and love my friends. I am

pro choice, pro… Continue

Hey everyone, I have yet to stir another facebook debate/discussion with my status. This one started with me simply sharing a bible verse. I could really use and feedback you may have on how to continue to respond to my "friend" Ambri.Thanks.

Me: "If a slave owner hits a slave,…

So today I posted a simple status to my facebook wall I regards to the day of prayer that has been issued. Everyone has been asked by government officials to pray that god will stop the oil leak and clean the ocean. I posted a simple reply to this insane and unconstitutional proposition and I was shocked by the response my friend Amber gave. If you were me, how would you reply?



Kyle Wilhelm: Today is a government sanctioned day of prayer for the oil leak to stop, violating the church… Continue

Dear Atheist,



Yes dear christian?

Do you think its a coincidence that...

of billions of stars and planets in the many galaxies, only earth has life, and abundance of it?



the sun is 400 times the size of the earth's moon, 400 times further away from earth than the moon, yet they look both proportionally the same size in our sky?



the sun lights the days nicely, while the moon glimmers in the night sweetly and the clouds bring forth rain to… Continue

My entire life I belonged to a church; even as an infant the indoctrination had begun. For the first 22 years of my life, I missed scarcely over 2 dozen church services. I attended youth functions, summer camps, and other various church activities. I grew up in a small town surrounded by family and friends who were all believers to varying degree's. In school I had heard evolution mentioned once, maybe twice and even then it was only a mention without explanation. Through the years I had a few… Continue
