Hey everyone,
As you may have noticed, there hasn't been a new blog post lately about my discussions with the religious. The reason for this absence is that I've been spending my normal blog time working on a book-length text instead. My uncle Steve Bly, who wrote Christian western novels and devotionals, recently passed away and that's sort of got me motivated to do something on a bigger scale than just a blog and try to get our family to be associated with more than just Christianity in the literary world.
Unfortunately that means I may not have many regular blog posts for some time. I'm currently on page 30 of my text and moving along solidly, if slowly. As a little taste of what's to come, and here's some of the headings I came up with while outlining my ideas:
The Great Disconnect
The Invisible Dangling Carrot
God's Ambiguity
Broken Mythology, or, Christian Plot Holes
Self-Serving and Contradictory Beliefs
Existence, or, How To Make An Unfounded Leap In Logic
How To Be All-Powerful And Upset: An Exercise In Contradictions
Just Outright Fucking Absurdities
Forcing Iron Age Ideals Into Modern Situations
Morality
That's all for now, hopefully I'll have more news in the not too distant future!

I like "How to be All-Powerful and Upset." I've written on that topic before. I still can't figure out how Christians reconcile these contradictions, except to ignore them entirely and pretend they don't exist.
