It’s not exactly “new news,” but (at least in the United States), there are two completely antithetical versions of Christianity, those who:

1) Live by the teachings of Christ, e.g. loving one another and taking care of those who most need our help, and

2) Follow the very worst characteristics of human beings and somehow called it Christianity. Here, I’m talking about war, savagery, torture, slavery, racism, and ignorance.

What causes the divide here? No one knows.

Minnesota is home to intelligent, well-educated people whose approval of Trump is lower than that of toenail fungus.

If Lindell wants to lead a state, he needs to choose one at least 800 miles away. Oklahoma?

He may also want to consider that Trump is easily the most detested person in this nation.

I wouldn’t say that the burden of proof lies on religion. No one knows how the universe got here.

The Big Bang was an event in which there was no chaos, no “entropy,” as we say in thermodynamics. How did all this orderliness get there 13.87 billion years ago? No one knows. This is an issue in cosmology which is quite likely to outlast human civilization on this planet.

I’m an atheist for a few reasons, one of which is that saying that God created the universe doesn’t get us any closer to an understanding of the cosmos, if only because it raises the question: Who made God?

More to the point, there are hundreds of moral reasons to disbelieve in God. Each year, 9 million children will die unbaptized on this planet before their fifth birthdays. In the bible, we learn that God punishes them all with an eternity of torture in hell. To what sort of weirdo does this make sense?
