I have nothing to add, because Bruce succinctly and eloquently expressed what needed to be said on this difficult subject. Thank you Bruce.

Time for a topic that dives into some very not-suitable-for-word territory. If you are sensitive to bad language, I advise you to skip this post. I will be discussing rude words. If swear words don’t faze you, or if your curiosity has gotten the better of you, read on! So, what are swear words? In […]
It goes without saying that understanding how the universe came into being is a fundamental question, one that drives a lot of scientific endeavour, as well as a lot of theological and philosophical questions. Sometimes (well, a lot of the time) the scientific study clashes with the theological study. A lot of religious believers operate […]
I recently posted about the idea that former US president Donald Trump is being persecuted, and why I believe that idea is preposterous. I wrote that post because Citizen Tom decided to dissect a comment I’d made elsewhere. Tom duly responded to that post, but it’s the comments on Tom’s post that I am more […]
Can there ever be a form of representative government that leans heavily upon one interpretation of one faith to form laws and rules that are fair and just for everyone? There are several issues to address here. If we run with Christianity, what version of it? Speak to the devotees of the Catholic Church, and […]
June is Pride Month. It’s a celebration of all things LGBT+. It is not unsurprising that there is a lot of backlash to Pride, from conservative, religious sources. Businesses such as Target have faced boycotts over their display of LGBT products, and Target went as far as to cave into bullying, by removing and relocating […]
I regularly read The Life and Times of Bruce Gerencser. Bruce has become quite dear to me. His forthright approach to extremist evangelicals is refreshing and entertaining, and his willingness to lay everything bare, despite knowing that said evangelicals will try to pick apart his words, is brave and noble. Recently, he made two posts […]
Is atheism dangerous? That’s the question posed by Blogging Theology. I know the author of that site will undoubtedly argue that it is, because the author of that site mistakenly conflates the absence of belief with political ideology. I don’t need to watch his video to understand his thought process, because he and I have […]
Inspired by an old debate on this subject (I figured old posts could be useful prompts), I thought I’d look at the world of faith healing, and whether or not there is any merit to the idea. Faith healing has existed in some form or another since antiquity. The ancient Greeks and Egyptians are among […]
UPDATE 29/3/23: Shortly after publishing this post, the fundamentalist at Theology Archaeology issued an apology for his remarks. Whilst I do not agree that my statements were unclear, I accept his apology, and removed his name from this post. I swore to myself I would not respond to the ignorance and deceit of certain, rabid […]
'Ah, at last, I can finally go home!'
I just visited Warmwell - Boathouse. This is what I thought: #feeditback
This has been an... eventful train ride. Well, less eventful, more long.
We peel back the door of the Meery Christmas Advent Calendar… and today, it’s decorations! Now, I would say I have something of a love/hate relationship with decorations. I love to look at them. The streamers, the lights, the tree, in their colours of gold, green, red, purple, blue, and more… they are gorgeous to […]
