What Do Atheists Think When They Read The Bible/Is Religion Dying?

A couple religion related things I’ve come across recently… On Quora, someone asks what non-believers who have read the entire Bible think when they read it?

Music Monday – “And then we’ll be married/Then we’ll be man and wife/No dress rehearsal/This is our life.”

Some Final Hawaii Thoughts

Just some stream-of-consciousness thoughts about our trip before allowing myself to slip back to the “real world”… – Shea’s highlight was Anini Beach – My dad’s highlight was the helicopter tour we did of Kauai – I forgot to ask my mom what her highlight was so I’ll say that it was hearing me admit […]

Hawaii Trip Highlights

Well, we made it back from Hawaii and are now suffering that weird mix of happiness and sadness that you feel when you’re glad to be home after a period of time away but also wishing your holiday never had to come to an end. I was going to try to do a list of […]

Hawaii Trip – Jelly Fish

Shea and I could’ve sat and watched this exhibit at the Maui Ocean Center for hours (except Pace was rushing to the shark tanks and it’s pretty hard to argue with that!)
