The Poor are Always with Us

I'm less offended by the money spent on one religious commercial than I am about the entire amount spent on one game.

Please Don’t Despise Poor People

I’ve been hearing from some of my friends that they are tired of their tax dollars being used to enable people who were too lazy to work.

A Conspiracy of Silence

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?

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.

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.

A Challenge to My Christian Friends

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.
