Help! Help! I'm Being Repressed!

Posted by Akheia in Akheia's Nook, 08 May 2012 - - - - - - · 181 views

Help! Help! I'm Being Repressed! For such a very, very moral people, Christians don't seem to believe in their own hell much, do they?

Last week, a smirking teenager hit the news with the tidbit that he was being suspended from school for wearing an innocent l'il yellow t-shirt advising students that their lives were "wasted without Jesus." He stamped his widdle fets and...

A Little Look At Being A Slave To The Man

Posted by zomberina in Rotting Thoughts, 06 May 2012 - - - - - - · 148 views

A Little Look At Being A Slave To The Man Okay, so here we are on Sunday, and after a lot of reading, researching and follow up on the whole slavery debacle I think I have an understanding of sorts (all depends on which VERSION of the Bible you read apparently).

We are going to look at 3 different scriptures (and their chapters in entirety), in the books of 1Timothy, Titus, and Colossians. I might...

Use Your Brains, People!

Posted by 2Honest in 2Honest's Blog, 06 May 2012 - - - - - - · 251 views

Use Your Brains, People! As a recent ex-christian (6 months sober), I am still waking up to the utter lunacy of the majority of our population. Even as a True Believer, when I saw things like this I was able to call bullshit. I would get aggravated by believers who seemed to check their brains at the door, and felt like they made the rest of us look bad. I feel like a...

The Meditation Guide

Posted by Rev R in Mystic For Hire, 29 April 2012 - - - - - - · 52 views

This is a slightly revised version of the little guide to meditation which gets mentioned in the forums from time to time. I posted it here in blog form for ease of access. Please leave any questions in the comments section or on the Ex-C Epic Buddhism Thread: http://www.ex-christ...uddhism-thread/

2 Weeks Out Of The Closet

Posted by roadrunner in Why didn't I snap out of it sooner, 24 April 2012 - - - - - - · 179 views

2 weeks out of this thing. My sister now knows about my disbelief. My wife an sister are thick as thieves. So We went to visit not long ago and one night when there was just the three of us they inquired about my skepticism. They actually spent more time wanting to talk and tell me their testimonies rather than listening to me which is pretty annoying when...

It Gets Better All The Time

Posted by NEWsong in NEWsong's Blog, 22 April 2012 - - - - - - · 172 views

It Gets Better All The Time I am really happy where I am at now. I realize that the "past is in the past" and the "life" I knew as a christian was just a waste of real time. I did learn much about myself and why I married an abusive husband and why I have endured the abuse from my current borderline personality disordered spouse; whom I really love. I have learned...

The Sin Of Cynicism (Copied From The Main Blog)

The Sin of Cynicism
4/06/2011
By agnosticator ~

The Greek word translated as “Sin” in the Bible is “hamartano”, literally meaning "to miss the mark." Just what is the mark that is missed? The New Testament says the first couple “missed the mark” and we all are blamed for it:


Romans 5:12:

"Therefore, just as sin entered...

Origins

Posted by Zephie in Zephie's Blog, 08 February 2012 - * * * - - · 209 views

So in light of all of the changes that are going on right now, I decided to learn about the origins of life, the earth, etc. I've grown up on the standard creation story from the Bible but I just don't really buy it anymore. During high school and college I never paid attention in science class and as a result have always considered myself rather...

Winter-time Blues

Posted by Eugene39 in Eugene's Blog, 02 January 2012 - - - - - - · 326 views

Warning: If you don't want to read a note that is a down-er, then you will not want to continue reading.

Depression has been an almost integral part of my life since my mid-teen years. It was a sad day when I realized that a quarter century of my life has been spent depressed, at least to some level. Coming to the conclusion around a year ago that...

Ex-christian.net Genesis 1

Posted by Ouroboros in HanSolo's Blog, 13 December 2011 - - - - - - · 393 views

I thought this post was so awesome so had to save it somewhere. The blog seemed like a good place to put it.


In the beginning Dave created the website and the forum.

And the forum was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of Dave moved upon the face of the home page.

And Dave...

Why Didn't Jesus Write Anything Down?

Posted by ReasonQuest in Reasonable Quest, 01 December 2011 - * * * * * · 451 views
jesus

Here is a question I have about Jesus. Why didn’t he take the time to write anything down himself?

As I understand it, the basic message of Christianity is this: That God had a message so important for human kind that it would provide a way for each individual to avoid everlasting torment in hell. To do this he had to become a human in the form...

What's On My Mind.

Posted by Infidel in Infidel's Blog, 21 September 2011 - - - - - - · 184 views

It's been almost a month since I posted my first blog entry on this site. That's a long time for me, I posted quite regularly on the site I used to hang out on before it closed.

I'll tell you what has been on my mind lately-my wife. She is still a believer and she gave me hell when I first told her 2 years ago that I didn't believe the...

So Much For Summer

Posted by NaturalMary63 in NaturalMary's Ponderings, 12 August 2011 - - - - - - · 162 views

Hey guys -

Have I told you all lately how much I appreciate you? I don't blog here enough, although I think about you daily. This is the only place I can come and say what I'm feeling - not only about religion, but about anything - because no one here 'knows' me. ;-) I mean, you all know me as an internet friend, but you aren't...

The Death Of Faith

Posted by Outlaw393 in The Odinist's Blog, 18 June 2011 - - - - - - · 178 views

It all started when I was a child, born on a beautiful Sunday in March. Of course, my parents, two churchgoing Christians, were in church that morning when my mother started going into labor. So I can say I was nearly born in a church. Of course, I was born six hours later in a hospital. And here begins the story of religion and how it affected my...

Secular Bible Study

Posted by Antlerman in Antlerman's Blog, 11 May 2011 - - - - - - · 128 views

Beginning over two years ago up until last Fall I was a regular participant, sometimes presenter, and co-organizer with what began as a joint effort between a local Methodist organization and the MN Atheists group to get together and discuss perspectives of the Bible in modern scholarship, history, culture, philosophy, and religious studies between those of...

Fundamentalism And Bigotry

Posted by JadedAtheist in Vivere Est Vincere, 06 April 2011 - - - - - - · 102 views


This video makes me think of everything I hate about fundamentalism. In its extreme forms it just turns to bigotry. I find it extremely funny though, mostly because I am so shocked that people can be that bigoted and also because it sounds so incredibly crazy. For some reason it has made a lasting...

First Entry!

Posted by pockets in Pockets' Blog, 19 February 2011 - - - - - - · 123 views

So I see that my Ex-C account is highly underutilized. We get our own blogs? We can check other new blog entries? This site is sick.

Problem: I accidentally created 2 blogs -- one with a capital P and one with a lowercase p. I'd like to keep the capital P and delete the other one, but I don't see how. Any suggestions?

My Ex-christian Life - 4 Years Later

Posted by ComputerGuyCJ in ComputerGuyCJ's Blog, 30 January 2011 - - - - - - · 124 views

Back home in Hawaii, at least for a couple more weeks, I find myself wishing I were deployed again. Things were so much easier being deployed. I had others to cook for me, clean my clothes, drive me around. All I had to do was show up for work and do what was expected of me. And when I returned to my chu at the end of the day, I could chat with my wife...

Confession 4

Posted by The Unchosen in The Unchosen's Blog, 07 January 2011 - - - - - - · 88 views

My mom had one of the worst childhoods imaginable.

My brother survived Afghanistan even though some of his friends didn't.

I've been through one tragedy and dealt with it and it was no where near as bad as those others. So why can they deal with it and I can't? I've always prided myself on being strong, not crying, being tough skinned. So...
