  1. Everyone would do well to distinguish “God's word” from “what someone else says is God's word.” To doubt is only to question the latter.
  2. #Jesus was not a philosopher. Philosophers make arguments and present reasons for their conclusions. Jesus only commanded from authority.
  3. US society disdains both taking #religion seriously and rejecting it entirely. One is expected to believe but not let it affect one's life.
  4. Happy #Twitterversary!
  5. #Fatalism: All paths lead to the same place. #Determinism: Paths lead to different places, but you can't choose your path.
  6. The top three candidates I'm considering are #JillStein (Green), #RockyAnderson (Justice), and #StewartAlexander (Socialist).
  7. For the first time ever, I'm undecided about a presidential election. All I've decided is that I'm not voting for either #Obama or #Romney.
  8. Whom did God deceive? The people at #Fatima who saw the sun dance, or the billions everywhere else who didn't? bit.ly/15c0p9
  9. If the major US parties aren't concerned about third parties acting as spoilers enough to even discuss electoral reform, then neither am I.
  10. When the lesser of two evils operates *actual* secret death panels for U.S. citizens, it's no longer worth supporting. bit.ly/zVabe7
  11. As a liberal, I simply can't talk about my disappointment in Obama with people who've been fooled into believing that he's a socialist.
  12. Religion is for those who want answers so badly that they don't care whether the answers are right or wrong.
  13. Happy Leap Day!
  14. I would like the ability to schedule tweets ahead of time like most blog software allows. I think I would tweet more if I could so this.
  15. I'm happy to be an atheist since 2004. #AtheistRollCall
  16. #Atheism means never getting to say, “I told you so.”
  17. #Santorum is just a devout Republican. Being Catholic is merely incidental, relevant only when its doctrine overlaps with the GOP platform.
  18. If #Santorum were serious about “God's law,” he'd adopt the Catholic positions on social justice, war, healthcare, and the death penalty.
  19. To be clear, Facebook blurs the line between online and offline. I tend not address any controversial topics there despite often wanting to.
  20. Offline I have to balance my desire to express my opinions with my desire not to annoy others. That's what I love about the internet.
