  43. Why Revolution

    It’s important to talk about good Biblical scholarship. It’s a short step to align the Bible with our views rather than our views with the Bible and its teachings.

  49. Better Without Christianity

    The Bible and Christianity have been used for discrimination for most of the modern times. People are tired and it feels like people are using religion to ignore or, worse, support the horrors that are happening around the world. In Matthew 7, we can easily misinterpret "do not throw your pearls...

  50. Paul and Sexism
