Impossible Rules

When I was a Mormon missionary serving in Massachusetts in the early 1990s our message was quite positive.  What we were selling was purpose, lasting peace, true happiness and strong families.  Occasionally we found a credulous undereducated person who desired these things and we were able to seal the deal and persuade them to join […]

An Atheist in Hillary’s Cabinet?

I recently had the opportunity to ask Hillary Clinton two questions at a campaign rally in Hampton, New Hampshire. I asked her, “How is your faith going to affect the decisions you make as president? Also, would you have an atheist in your cabinet?”
Interesting. Good question. I’ve never been asked this. […]

Festibond 2007

Festibond 2007 was a tremendous success. We all agree it was much better than Christmas and are eagerly anticipating the next one. In fact, we are considering making Festibond a semiannual family tradition.

Christmas, at least as it is celebrated in the United States, is a secular holiday. Santa Claus with his magic […]

A Mormon Apostasy

brentdanley
People who know me at all know that I do not believe in god. In fact, I would label myself an antitheist. I haven’t been able to shake my disdain for theism from my sleeve.

Ricky Gervais Reads the Bible

This is a hilarious video! Even the Christians should find this funny if they just relax a bit. Ricky Gervais is brilliant. If you haven’t seen the BBC version of The Office I highly recommend putting it on you Netflix Queue.
