Maybe I really am about to receive a personal revelation from God. That would be very interesting.
Well now… this is getting interesting. Only a few days to go and I’m beginning to think something might actually be about to happen!
Sit down and do the maths. it seems that 1st century Christianity was nowhere near as persuasive as your pastor might claim
There’s nothing terribly impressive about the growth of Christianity during the first century. Just do the maths!
A personal revelation of God? Really? For me? OK, bring it on!
A colleague told me that God will reveal Himself to me before 5pm on Friday June 28th!
I’m so tired of uninformed, unfeeling and above all uncaring Christians having a go at Trans people.
I’m so tired of uninformed, unfeeling and above all uncaring Christians having a go at Trans people. It’s what Christianity always does – they can’t demonstrate the reality of the deity they claim to believe in; they can’t make any reasonable arguments for its existence and they can’t persuade anyone of its truth without resorting to lies, distortions and ad hominem attacks.
It used to be ‘fornicators’ they attacked until people started being more open about their sex lives. It used to be gay men and latterly women until reasonable people realised that other peoples’ sex lives are none of their business. It used to be those who need an abortion until, apart from in the states, people began to accept that wider social and economic issues take precedence and now it’s trans people.
The church always needs someone to hate – a visible but not too strong minority to be the bogeyman. Unfortunately for Christians though the world moves on – secular morality develops and outgrows the nonsense of Christianity as the church hops desperately from target to target trying to keep up.
Church won’t excuse your bigotry,
You’re only there ’cause you agree!

He was a Greek speaker who couldn’t read the original Hebrew and so relied on a more ambiguous word from the Greek translation of the Old Testament. Unfortunately he made the wrong choice and wrote ‘Almah’, meaning ‘virgin’ instead of ‘young woman’. Not only that – the entire story is about events that happened in Isaiah’s time, over 700 years before the nativity story is supposed to have taken place..
Anyone who reads more of Isaiah chapter 7 than just verse 14 will quickly see that. It’s not hard to understand. There’s not really much room for ‘interpretation’ with this one. So if your pastor is telling you it’s a prophecy about the Messiah – ask him3 why he’s lying – or, more charitably, why he doesn’t know this himself. Has he never read the Bible?
I would say my diary demands faith in place of inquiry
“… And if I said God wrote my diary
I’d anticipate inquiry…”
You cherry-pick your Holy book,
Ignore the homeless beggar as you look
The other way
Complaining every day
About the taxes that you have to pay.
When you have to lie to make your point, your point isn’t worth making!
So many Armageddons past,
So many days that weren’t the last,
For you the end can’t come too fast.
My death is just the price you’ll pay,
So gladly to be on your way,
And if I’m damned – well, that’s OK!
I’ve written a little poem for all those Christians who love to gloat about their salvation and my alleged damnation. It only lasts two minutes. Have a listen and tell me what you think in the comments.
Two people who I never knew did something that I didn’t do, so I deserve to burn in Hell!
I can be forgiven for what I didn’t do, because some other people crucified a bloke who didn’t do it too!
