As you may have noticed, I have not been posting for a week. This is because I want to increase the level of content posted, and I think the best way for me to do that is to wait until I have good content to post rather than forcing myself to meet arbitrary deadlines.
To that end, this is the last time I intend to post until I have something written that I can be proud of. I have many ideas, and I have no intention of giving up entirely. It’s just that with being swamped at work and having so much non-writing crafting that I want to do, not to mention my need to maintain my romantic relationship and social life as well as care for my pets, I can’t devote enough time to this blog to make good content even twice a week. I’m hoping this will change eventually, and that I can make a post at least once a week.
As if I didn’t have enough craft ideas, I bought a sewing machine yesterday at Goodwill. I don’t know when I’ll be able to use it, considering I don’t have a place to set it up, but there you go.
To me, writing is just another craft, one of which I am particularly fond because it can be shared with multiple people. With writing or programming, I can create something and share it with the whole world. I can’t do that with crochet, or knitting, or pyrography, or sewing; once I make a scarf, I can only give that scarf to one person. If I want to give it to two people, I have to use the same colors and pattern again.
As an apology for once again reducing my posting schedule, please enjoy this link with a thought experiment involving Superman and God.
http://thereforegodexists.com/ Here’s a block you’ll really like sinking your teeth into. Of course, he’s not right about everything.
Nothing on the front page of that blog seems remotely new or interesting to me. Most of it doesn’t even have to do with proving god exists; all but two of the posts (again on the front page) operate under the assumption that god exists, and those two are arguments I’ve answered on this blog already. Given that I have more important things to do with my life than read and respond to the same tired old arguments that I already refuted to my satisfaction as a prerequisite to leaving Christianity, I’ll not be paying much attention to it.
You can, of course, link to a particular post or two that you find particularly powerful, but I’m not wasting my time digging through those archives when I barely have time to clean my pet cages.
Suffice to say he’s dismantled most of your arguments.
That would be interesting, as I normally do not make arguments of my own, instead offering rebuttals of Christian arguments. That being said, it should be easy for you to point me to at least one example.
