The Sabbath is for Man
Today I have rested. I haven’t been to church in months because that is anything but restful. I still kick myself for being less productive. Did the gods rest? Do they? Or is divinity 24/7? Men need rest. We are finite and fragile. The eternal and the sublime may recede in certain times and places…

A Perfect God
In discussions with atheists I am occasionally told that I’m only a theist to my own God and an atheist to everyone else’s. This line of attack does not work well against me.

Pluralism and Neutrality
For the past twenty four hours I have been arguing in a political group on Facebook that all levels of government should remain as perfectly neutral in religious maters as humanly possible to maintain a pluralistic society. But I feel like I am beating my head against a wall so I’m retreating into my head.…

Ambivalent
I was pretty ambivalent about my wife leaving the Church until it actually happened. I understand her reasons and share some of them. My testimony has always been irregular and now I am questioning whether I can call it a testimony at all. I have little interest in being temple worthy and remain adamant that…
