Guest Post: The Myth of Fetal Pain
This is the first guest post I’ve hosted! Please welcome Cait McKnelly. A number of state legislatures are passing legislation outlawing abortion after the twentieth week on the basis of “fetal pain”. This is just one of many, unscientifically founded … Continue reading
Spoilerific Review: The Man From Earth
Tonight, I would like to recommend a film that you’ve probably never heard of, but that (especially if you read my blog regularly) is really worth your time. Jerome Bixby’s The Man From Earth.

Why I Don’t Believe In God, Part 2
In case you missed it, Part One After two years of being told I was going to hell, of defending myself and my lack of blind faith, and the second summer of Jesus-based camp songs, my parents enrolled me in … Continue reading
Why I Don’t Believe in God, Part 1
