I still love the people of the church. I cared for them my entire life.... I didn’t want to leave them behind but I couldn't be like them anymore.

Atheism Versus the Easter Bunny
Many Christians accuse atheists of having a hidden agenda, which I think takes a special blend of nerve and insanity, considering that their highest priority is to convert the entire world.
Southern Baptist Terror
"Let me ask you," he said to the little children, "If you were to die in your sleep tonight, where would you go?"
Standing Apart from the Crowd
I’ve been observing crowds all my life. I’ve seen them get sad, anxious, giddy, angry, reactive, and just plain stupid. People who were generally thoughtful as individuals could lose their ability to think for themselves when influenced by a crowd.
Chicken in Church (and It’s Not Potluck)

How do you know that what you believe is true? Don't call me a pig and walk away. I would like some real conversation.
A Place at the Table
Like me he was a high mileage minister....
One Final Gift
She acknowledged that her time was short but insisted that she would not be dying on Christmas Day....
Reactions
No one has challenged me to fisticuffs, pistols, or dueling Bibles. However, they really don’t know what to say when I tell them I'm an atheist.
