It’s my opinion that if you post something in a public forum, your comments are fair game for public criticism. With that stated, last night I clicked on a Facebook image from Fox 45 Dayton that asks, “Do you believe Same-Sex … Continue reading →

Bible Contradictions #40: Does god dwell in light?

Posted on June 24, 2014 by Ryren Cadora

We have this image of god in our mind, perched up in heaven on a golden throne, suspended by white fluffy clouds, light of unknown origins haloing his head. We often associate god with light. Indeed, the bible teaches us … Continue reading →

Posted on June 23, 2014 by Ryren Cadora

The Byrds’ 1965 classic “Turn! Turn! Turn!” captured well the biblical narrative that killing is sanctioned by god. Here, go ahead and play the song while reading this post. The song quotes Ecclesiastes chapter 3, which states — paraphrased — … Continue reading →

Bible Contradictions #38: Does god work on the sabbath?

Posted on June 22, 2014 by Ryren Cadora

“Dark Girls” documentary: God plays no role in skin color

Posted on June 19, 2014 by Ryren Cadora

Last night I watched the documentary Dark Girls, a fantastic narrative of how dark-skinned black women feel ostracized from within the black community for being too dark and pressure to unnaturally lighten their skin. It’s a wonderful piece — with absolutely nothing … Continue reading →

Church in Norfolk has no idea how Facebook works

Posted on May 29, 2014 by Ryren Cadora

The other day I was at the grocery store loading my trunk with cheap beer, where I was accosted by an evangelical Christian, which, although extremely annoying, is expected and trivial. Unfortunately public Christian proselytization is not only common, it’s … Continue reading →

What “pure” religion is according to the bible: It’s actually quite good

Posted on May 24, 2014 by Ryren Cadora

Often in my posts I mock the bible (and this one is no exception), but there are some verses with which even militant atheists should agree. These are the verses that eschew supernatural claims and make profound social statements. Jesus, for … Continue reading →

Book of Ezra can’t do simple addition

Posted on May 20, 2014 by Ryren Cadora

We learn to add one plus one before we even start our schooling. By time we’re ten we should be able to perform relatively complicated arithmetic. So the following math problem should not be too difficult for anyone: 30 + 1,000 … Continue reading →
