The Burden of proof
If I said I’d risen from the dead you’d say I’m playing games, If I claimed 500 witnesses you’d want to know their names.
If you want to convince me that something is true, If you’re making the claim then the burden’s on you. If I said I’d risen from the dead you’d say I’m playing games, If I claimed 500 witnesses you’d want to know their names. And if I said God wrote my diary, I’d anticipate inquiry. How you’d react to my diary, Is how your Bible seems to me. Of course, my diary’s bollocks, as you knew, As to the Bible, the burden of proof is on you!
Bronze age morality
The Christian moral compass only points back to the Bronze age!
You say that you have morals, But you don’t,
You claim I have no conscience, And you’re certain that I won’t,
Know right from wrong…
Toxic MAGA Christianity
Do you think Bishop Budde’s sermon reflects true Christian values
Do you think Bishop Budde’s sermon reflects true Christian values or should she have refrained from asking the most powerful to have mercy for the powerless?
See for yourself and let me know in the comments. Watch her sermon here… https://youtu.be/xwwaEuDeqM8?si=69mVloI9pGWiP5Xb You can read the transcript here… https://www.stmarksrva.org/blog/a-sermon-given-by-the-rt-rev-mariann-budde/
‘Twas the church before Christmas
Twas the night before Christmas,
And all through the church,
The faithful were gathering,
And praying in search,
Of some mystical moment,
Remembering the birth…

A creationist UK science teacher
Nick Cowan is a creationist who also understands the principles of science. He’s a retired UK chemistry teacher who also taught creationism to the same state school pupils in his A level general studies class. I asked him how this could possibly make sense. What followed was a passionate but genial conversation between two people who hold diametrically opposing views.
What Christian morality?
Your moral compass points right back to the bronze age!
There is no such thing as Christian morality in any meaningful sense. Rather there’s a list of ancient rules, many of which make no sense at all in the modern world.

The bestest Bible: Genesis 6
God says he’ll drown everyone on earth except the fish. God seems to like fish.
This is the part where God says he’ll drown everyone on earth along with all the other creatures, even the creeping things. But not the fish. God seems to like fish. That’s why he invented Fridays.
But an old guy named Noah won’t drown and neither will his kids and their wives (apart from Tarquin, his youngest). Nor will shit loads of animals. They’ll all suffocate instead below decks in a massive boat with only one window.
The bestest Bible: Genesis 4 (Where did all those women come from?)
God gets really confused about who is who, what blood is for, how to make babies and how to maintain a coherent narrative arc
In this bit God gets really confused about who is who, what blood is for, how to make babies and how to maintain a coherent narrative arc. We also meet the oldest bloke in the world, the bestest sea captain makes a brief appearance at the end and we definitely have some questions to ask about God’s attitude to gay relationships. And poor old Eve has more kids than you can shake a stick at!
