A tale of three Christs

My soul. A treasured part of me, a thing I have gambled with, abandoned and retrieved on more occasions than I care to count. Many have tried to save Raven's soul and precious few actually understand that it does not need saving. It may be scarred, it has been through some hell but it still shines...

Gay fires that you fear will burn your soul

Why does being gay scare so many people? They will deny it in themselves and seek to purge it from others. What is the fear of this difference that motivates us? Occasionally it motivates people to unspeakable acts of evil. We have seen the crimes the notorious and the hundreds of innocent victim's... Sign in to see full entry.

Jesus would approve of Gay Marriage

Christ would approve of Gay marriage. I am not using that opening sentence in an attempt to get a higher rating. What follows is a deeply personal examination of this very complex, very divisive issue. Canada as a nation has had to search its collective soul over what to do about Gay marriage....

Darke Redemptions

MHW's return has got me thinking about redemption. Particularly are their certain acts that one cannot redeem. I am as aware as anyone else what the scriptures say in this regard. But I am not looking to the word of God. I am looking to the experience of people. Where does an individual draw that... Sign in to see full entry.

Sultry, Faustian Faith

I sold my soul twice. Once when I was about eleven; I got involved with a childish game of mock occultism. I have been a follower and leader in a number of divergent religious traditions over the years, so this was not a shock to me. Nothing became of it and I was pretty off put on the whole soul as...

Back from the Shadows!

There was a time I never thought I could cry again. I survived a hell on earth and had to literally re-invent myself. Walking a Rubicon that burned me deeply and brought into my life a fear greater than I ever knew could exsist. Only a victim can know the pain I am speaking of, bound, rendered...

God does not take Mastercard

God is not dead he is just hibernating. If you believe this God is the equivalent of a large bear then this analogy is appealing for you. God is what he or she is. The package details vary but the promise if faithfully delivered is the same. No one religion is any more right than any other. God... Sign in to see full entry.

How long can you abstain from having sex?

How long can you abstain from having sex? Faith, Hope and Chastity. No, we are not talking about Sonny and Cher’s offspring. I want to take a couple of moments and look at this saying. Faith we have covered here at Darke Faith before. Hope is pretty easy to explain; even hope against impossible odds... Sign in to see full entry.

Gods take on Blogging

Have you ever really talked to God? Not in that half hearted way we do when we want something. Not in anger or imbedded with sadness or regret. Have you ever really just had a conversation with your maker? The modern Christian church frowns on this sort of discourse. They want you to follow a... Sign in to see full entry.

Come wander the twisted wreckage of my soul!

Shattered trusts litter our moral landscape! Splintered bits of emotional wreckage that haunt our collective will and hinder us from progressing onward and upward! How can you believe when those who ask you to take every thing on faith are such obvious liars? What good is faith in the face of... Sign in to see full entry.
