My new art tumblr →
Expect lots of doodles and things I won’t post to dA. I’ll be off this tumblr for good, but I’ll still leave everything up… I like using it as a diary, kinda.
love is noise
symphonies and static
gonna start an art tumblr soonish…
as soon as I survive midterms and get my shit sorted out.
but it’s happening, I swear to god.
Where have you gone off to?
:o
IRL. Tumblr was eating up too much time, I spent time normally used drawing on blogging… it was interfering with art too much. I’m only on now to chase down some music. I always get it legally if I can… but when they make things impossible to get they are just asking for it!!!
An Introduction to: The Atheist Bible Study →
Often times I hear complaints from religious people about atheists not knowing or understanding their theology, specifically—their scripture and teachings. This blog will go though the Bible, concentrating on Christian theology. It is my hope that I can teach something to both atheists and…
I’ve been following this blog and catching up from the author’s first posts in January; so far he/she has managed to cover Genesis and will soon be dipping into Exodus. However, I’m seeking some balance and so—along with my own reading of the Bible—would like to know if there are any equivalent Christian Bible studies that would serve as an effective counterpoint. Do you have any suggestions?
Bible studies? There are tons, practically every Bible can serve as a guidebook with footnotes and historical references, explanations of customs, etc etc but there are so many varying translations and interpretations I don’t really know how to help you. Hell, Christians can’t even agree on what the Bible says. Some viewpoints I find interesting though are Jesus Was a Liberal (I bought that during EPGY actually, good times!) which isn’t quite what you want, since it doesn’t go through the Bible book by book but rather approaches issue after issue in a Biblical context. Whosoever (online mag) has a Biblical analysis of the homosexuality issue, which I’m trying to write a paper on, and Rob Bell has a pretty radical and fascinating view of the Bible, there was an article about him in Times recently. I’d go look for more stuff but I’m ending this post because I am sleepy and looking at this screen is getting harder… and harder…

why can’t we be friends?
Oh right, we are. Facebook friends, at least.
Now this hasn’t happened to me, as I posted a religion-referencing Mumford & Sons song for Easter on fb today and nobody hates on them, but it’s happened to others.
We’re Christians, we’re gonna post religious-holiday related statuses. If we don’t comment on your Carl Sagan videos and atheist quotes, return the favor and quit hating on holiday statuses. It’s supremely unclassy. I hate it when atheists inform me of how supremely ignorant/stupid/unscientific my beliefs are. I wouldn’t want to have a bunch of atheist arguments on a status that was never intended for debate, after all, I’ve heard them all before. Religion is something I pondered for years and I was borderline atheist for part of my life. It’s a facebook status, not philosophy club. You’re not encouraging debate, you’re intruding on something that was meant to be purely personal and it will only offend.
If you feel the need to hate on a harmless Easter status you’re almost as annoying as my intolerant fundamentalist relatives. The hardest thing to tolerate is intolerance- and yes, that is a form of intolerance. Quit taking the mindset that you’re ‘enlightening’ someone because when you do, you start to seem a lot like those crazy door-to-door Bible beaters…
And you, you’ve gone too far this time, you have neither reason nor rhyme with which to take this soul that is so rightfully mine.

Yeah, hey guys
I’m unfollowing a bunch of people, not because I don’t want to follow you, but because this tumblr addiction needs to stop! I haven’t completed a proper work of art in MONTHS! I spend ages just scrolling through pages… it’s absurd. Anyway, I’ll try to keep track of people I know personally on here, but as for using tumblr to stay informed- I’ll stay glued to the newspapers or google instead. Less addicting.
