People always talk about the burden of knowledge — the pain and depression that comes with ‘knowing too much’. But no one ever tells you how knowledge makes you angry. How it gets you thinking and makes you question everything you've ever known. No one talks about how knowledge fascinates, intrigues, and shakes the very pillars of your core beliefs.My interest in knowledge has me dabbling into religious concepts. I'm not a “stoic” Christian who believes in the absolute infallibility of Christian...

You’d have to watch a video through this link before you read this piece. Santee was unashamedly authentic, and for today, she’s my muse. I’m dedicating this one to all Christians out there, especially the girlies who’ve found it not so easy to wear the crown, yet push through anyway.Dear Santee,I love you. I say this first because I’m certain it would be Jesus’ first and constant word to you throughout this phase. As much as it should be enough - sometimes, it just isn’t, is it? Sometimes, we w...

I have come to the conclusion that it is better to ramble and make a nonsense piece than edit like a bereaved soul, in chase of perfection. The chaos in my head and environment might have something to do with it, but I've held onto this idea far too long to care any more. Dear Reader, after 3 weeks, and 9 failed attempts to pen what my eyes would consider read-worthy…in the midst of screaming at my 8 little munchkins (siblings) to at least pretend to be sane, a slight headache, and deadlines i w...

Heresies are wonderful to learn about.Especially because it tests your understanding and broadens your mind beyond your little cocoon.

Two minutes into reading about it, I realized I’d once preached that same heresy to someone else.Today, I want you to read and learn about the Trinity - specifically, some heresies that were birthed in an attempt to explain it and make the Christian God palatable to human...

I realize that a lot of Christians struggle to explain to unbelievers and even to themselves the reason Jesus died. They trip up on their words, struggle with expression and fumble when hit with questions like; And it aches my heart. It aches my heart to know that there is a profoundly poetic understanding of Christianity in 100% of the fold but 90% of us can’t save a fly if an explanation depended on it. I hope this piece helps the clan.…. Now, this piece would be more or less like a lecture. I...

One of the issues in Christianity which keeps getting swept under the rug is the genocide God ordered - the one He committed. The disregard for this ‘sin of God’ is immoral, shocking and irritating. The direct orders in the Bible to kill/utterly destroy women, children and cattle gets treated like another history page, when in reality it shakes the very cores of the Christian idea of who God is. Let’s talk about it. In my last piece, I wrote about other religious movements and why their main fig...
