My Nan's Pentecostal Funeral
by GetBusyLiving ini got back yesterday from newfoundland, where my nan had just died a little over a week ago.
i was pretty upset that i wasn't able to see her one last time as she had died one day before i got there.
all in all the family held up as well as can be expected.

by GetBusyLiving ini just got word from my family that my grandmother died at 5am this morning.
it was her wish to see me once more before she died, i have a flight to see her at 10am tomorrow morning.

Life is more immediate now, don't you think?
by GetBusyLiving indo you have the feeling that your life is more immediate now that you have left the dubs?
i just got off the webcam with my dad and things just seem so much better between us now that i'm no longer a witness.
i think he feels that sense that this might be it, even though he still attends, and that opens up something really magical in our conversations.

Do you ever wish you were a Moron?
by GetBusyLiving inis your bullsh*t meter always cranked up to overdrive these days?
i'm a happy enough guy but i find i get somewhat irritated reading of the faith people have in their belief systems, even outside of the dubs.
i'm not trying to be condecending with this post at all.

I'm more interested in the Bible now that I believe it isn't inspired (?!)
by GetBusyLiving ini downloaded a ton of 'the teaching company' lectures on the formation of christianity and the gnostics, and have been reading books on the creation of the bible for the past six months or so.
if you havent looked into this stuff already, i'm telling ya it is some really facinating stuff.
are you at all like me and have become more interested in the bible since realizing it isn't inspired??

What made YOU drop Christianity?
by GetBusyLiving inafter i read coc and left the dubs for a short while i considered myself christian.
the way franz explained it, all that is required is to have faith in jesus and to love your neighbor as yourself and then you will be 'saved'.
the more i started pealing away at the onion though the dumber the premise of someone dying for my 'sins' seemed, and i just lost faith in it altogether.
