Personal Witness
I am occasionally asked online to give evidence of God. On a regular basis I am told that a personal witness does not count as evidence. With strangers on the internet this is absolutely true. Me sharing my visions doesn’t supersede another person’s witness. But the closer two people become the more their life and…

The Left Hand of God
Most of the scriptures that I have read that say anything about it at all insist that we try to be on the right hand of God. That is the place of so-called honor. But there is also much less competition to be seated at the left hand of God. A man will get nearer…

Spider in the Kitchen
I’m a big fan of spiders. We usually just leave them alone. We’ve got a big ambush spider on the corner of one of the steps going into the basement. It has been there for weeks so it is obviously eating well. I’m cool with that. A little while ago I saw a chunk on…

Skins
One of the people I love was hurt today. It was very intentional on the part of the attacker. I have trouble humanizing people like that. I don’t think they are even human today. Lower than pond scum. I looked up one of my favorite verses in the Quran and studied the Arabic. It basically…

brother god
I am having another conversation about how much I can or even want to follow Jesus. The traditional view that he is fully God and fully man detracts from the ability and desire to do so. If I am not also fully god and fully man then I can’t really be a disciple. He can…

Literacy over Evangelism
I am not nor have I ever been a good evangelist. I am fully committed to the stance of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints on moral agency. I can’t make choices for any of you and I’m certainly not in a position to tell people that they have to believe all…

Perseverating on God
Perseverate:(verb, intransitive, chiefly psychology) To persist in doing something; to continue to repeat an action after the original stimulus has ended. I am on the autism spectrum. One of the things about most of us is that we perseverate on things. Some autistics perseverate on Legos, or trains, or scripts from movies and songs. I…

Winning
I have a long time acquaintance. She has kids with one of my buddies from high school. He is in a bad way right now so she and I sometimes chat on Meta Messenger. We were talking about my doubts that there is a loving God and my belief that people are generally bad unless…

Infused
I am artificially infused with happiness. But it leaves me in a good mood most of the rest of the time. I’m on a cocktail of prescription and self medications without any alcohol or nicotine. I sometimes feel like I’m just going to drift away and God is going to call me home. That seems…

Supreme Guidance
I am still slowly working my way through Chuang Tzu. Sometimes I am truly moved by the idea of The Tao. Sometimes I think that it is analogous to the Holy Spirit. But in that thought experiment only the Tao and the Holy Spirit exist. It seems at times like this that there is guidance…
