Somebody Once Said
Somebody once said, God was a sinner who saw his wrongs. Just a mortal who couldn't find his soul. Everybody runs in a circle to find their redemption running on empty visions and blind faith. Somebody once said, God is in you and me. He must be a devil than, the sum of all our madness and...

My Thoughts on Faith
The word faith bothers me. I hear people use it as a way to explain their belief system. "Well, I'd define it as faith." The problem with this is faith defines nothing. What exactly do you have faith in? What's the difference between believing in something that can't be seen and just plain...

These people they prayer for the sinner's redemption and watch life go by through eyes long blinded by cold hearts and closed minds. They make judgement calls on lives they've never lived. What's the cost of the soul that's been wrecked? What's the price of chains that captivate without a rhyme or...

Being An Atheist is Easy
I was reading another student's column today. She pretty much stated that Atheist have it easy because they don't believe in any God. I deeply resented her insinuating that. I could tell that she knew nothing about what an Atheist is. We live in a world where being part of a church is considered the...

Thoughts on Spirituality and Death
Thoughts on a Movie I watched Tom Cruise's The Last Samuri last night. Awesome film, great music and acting. I've always found the oriental philosophy fascinating. Their culture has a passion that Americans often lack. The main character observes that the Japanese villagers would devote themselves...

Who Says I Want to be Saved?
We've all heard it; come to God and be saved! But I have a problem with this. Who says I want to be saved? Why do people feel like they have to be saved? And while we're on the subject, saved from what? To me asking to be saved is like admitting I have some kind of fatal defect. Saying I need to be...

Forgiveness Without God
I am planning to leave home within a year. This means I must make a choice concerning family. My dad is the only reason I keep in contact with his parents. And even then by "contact" I'm talking about a ten minute chat on Christmas Day. There is a part of me than never wants to contact them again. I...

Dec. 25
This is my third Atheist Christmas. Despite not believing in Christ or Mass I still wish people Merry Christmas. Why? Partly because of habbit. I've been saying Merry Christmas since I could start talking. And partly because I still love the idea of Christmas. I still like songs like Little Drummer...

6 A.M.
I wrote this song last year. I haven't set any music to it because I'm not much of a composer. Sometimes I'll take the first line of a favorite song and expand on it. This one's from Jewel's I was meant for you. Verse 1 Woke up this morning at 6 A.M., stared out the window, I don't know why. Just...

Chirstmas is Here
The carolers are caroling. The little drummer boy is drumming. And the marketers are upon us like a pack of rabid wolves. Yep, it's Christmas. That wonderful time of year when people go around singing Joy to the World and Peace to Mankind. The Christian's are once again proclaiming their Lord's...
