A Conspiracy of Silence

April 23, 2020April 23, 2020 ~ David Mercer ~ 1 Comment

I’m horrified that we locked my sweet, loveable, funny aunt into a prison of silence, where she dreaded the day she would die and go to the hell we had created.

Will God Answer for His Actions?

March 30, 2020March 30, 2020 ~ David Mercer ~ 8 Comments

Over my time as a minister, people whispered these questions to me, often ashamed to put them into words. I’m articulating them in hopes of engaging their thinking.

May 29, 2019 ~ David Mercer ~ 3 Comments

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

May 25, 2019May 25, 2019 ~ David Mercer ~ 2 Comments

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.

People Are Being Beaten

February 16, 2019February 16, 2019 ~ David Mercer ~ 6 Comments

I’ve only just now realized that no one in the UMC is going to change their minds.  The only thing I see happening is that the LGBT will be more resented afterwards.

Chicken in Church (and It’s Not Potluck)

January 29, 2019 ~ David Mercer ~ 6 Comments

I asked for conversation and they attacked. I say they're chicken... If I were still a minister, I'd be embarrassed at their answers.

I won't continue to pursue a relationship with someone who has ignored me my entire life.

A Challenge to My Christian Friends

January 19, 2019January 19, 2019 ~ David Mercer ~ 40 Comments

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.

Reactions

December 7, 2018December 7, 2018 ~ David Mercer ~ 3 Comments

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.
