Things that I say the offend Christians part 5
The deepest truths in life are lived, not Boolean affirmative or negative. People will go to extreme measures to keep these truths intact. This is why people (including Christians) largely control their beliefs by who they let into their lives. A truth as deep as whether or not God is involved in one’s life is […]
Why I Have No Hope
I have no hope because I know modern psychology can take one man and make him a trillion. I have no hope because modern psychology pathologizes not having hope calling it “depression” whose treatment often is only effective for three years.
