Sometimes writing helps me figure things out. I probably shouldn't put my private little arguments out here, but I don't know any better:

G-d in Faith and Doubt - I talk with more with R.M. Slinky about g-d, atheism, and being on both sides.

Religion and Life Outside Ourselves - I talk with R.M. Slinky about my view of G-d.

Talking about Art - I talk with R.M. Slinky about my view of art.

Love is the Best Thing - What I mean when I say that g-d and love are the same thing.

Morality Beyond Ego-Based Authority - I consider the “moral problem” to be a significant one, and in this essay I attempt to delve into the assumptions behind “absolute” and “relative” morality. Rather than a battle between Christian absolutism and Humanist relativism, I see this as an issue of abstract religious idealism vs. humanity. I try to explain why.

A Conversion Story, Pt. 1: God as body, fact, and identifiable ego - This is an attempt to encapsulate my deconversion from Fundamentalist Evangelical Christian to non-theist. Part 1 focuses on thinking.

A Conversion Story, Pt. 2: God as love, emotion, spirit - Picks up where Part 1 leaves off, focusing on the emotional challenge of facing (and discarding) religious imagery in the search for "G-d" as he/she/it is.

Confessions of a Gay Acting Straight Boy - All my life I've been confused as gay. This is me philosophizing about why...
