💙 Ex-Catholic finding a values-based approach to living a life without the need for supernatural beliefs. (I feel SOOOO much better already!) Looking to connect with liberals, progressives, atheists, humanists, and any other REASONable people! 💙
If your religion claims the power to forgive or withhold forgiveness… that’s not holiness, that’s a hostage situation. Forgiveness is a gift we give to ourselves, not something we should hold hostage from someone else!

As a former Catholic who led a values-based youth ministry program for years, I'm appalled at how many self-proclaimed Christians are supporting the horrific things that Trump/Musk are doing. Whether you're a "believer" or not, there is a much better way...

Watching the Steelers and the Ravens on Amazon Prime is like watching old videos taken on a flip phone. Streaming quality absolutely sucks! 🤨

Question: In sports broadcasting school, do they train these guys to say "pash rush" instead of "pass rush"? Or does that profession just attract people with the exact same speech impediment? 🤔

Judging by what I'm seeing over on Xitter, Christian Nationalists and MAGA are to blame for the California wildfires burning out of control. They're withholding their "thoughts and prayers," which is all you need to address any human tragedy, right? 😒

Same! It's so nice to see a little bit of heartwarming news during these dark times!

At theCODAproject.com, I post my weekly series, Mythologizing the Bible, where I reflect on the Bible as "sacred myth." There are plenty of humanistic lessons when you look beyond the supernatural claims and explore these old stories as the ancient myths that they are! #humanism #atheism

What's with the Boise State football coach starting every in-game interview with "thank you, Jesus"? (Judging by the current score, I guess Jesus is a Penn State fan!) 😂

Speaking as an ex-Catholic with a Masters in Pastoral Studies, Trump’s promises are the modern-day equivalent of vague prophecies we find throughout the Bible. They might sound good... until you realize they mean nothing at all. Huh. Maybe he is their Orange Jesus after all. 🤔

The latest video of Mythologizing the Bible just dropped. If you missed my live stream last night, I hope you'll check it out. I actually found some great messages about leadership... with a focus on women and marginalized people! 🤯

I find it very easy to criticize others, even though I think of myself as a generally kind and positive person. Every once in a while, I have to ask myself if my words and actions are still aligned with the values I claim to hold. If not, it’s time for a heart-to-heart with myself. What about you?

My prediction (and it's a safe one): the incoming Trump Administration is going to be a masterclass in what happens when followers don’t hold leaders accountable. How do we stop the cycle of bad leadership? All of us non-followers need to get our poop in a group and resist! #resist #wakeupcall

In my Thurs 9PM live stream, I look at 3 Bible readings thru the lens of "sacred myth" and see what lessons I can find. It's often hard to see past the supernatural parts - and often the lesson is "don't do this" - but my small audience finds it interesting. You might too! twitch.tv/thecodaproject

Why do we follow leaders who demand loyalty but give nothing in return? Isn’t it time we demanded better? #MTB #Accountability
