Lyndee Pellettiere-Swapp: propaganda for the faithful
I just read about this story about Lyndee Pellettiere-Swapp today, July 10, 2017, assuming it was a new story. After a little research I found the same article repeated virtually verbatim by a dozen, conservative, religious-themed websites without any follow up or analysis. Other than “It’s a miracle!” This story lacks journalistic integrity and has […]
Church service and the soul
Recently I attended a church service where the minister spoke at length about the human soul. This is not something I do often but it’s a very hip church with literally a million-dollar sound system and professional musicians (we go for the music…).

Twilight Zone episode – Season 3, episode 8: It’s a Good Life
It should be impossible for any thinking person to not see this episode as a religious metaphor. In the episode, the boy, Billy, can read minds, create and destroy anything and has supernatural powers of truly biblical proportions. In essence, this angry, jealous, paranoid child has the power of life and death over the inhabitants. […]
Hearing God’s voice in your head
Probably the only thing worse than people adopting a life of superstition, the supernatural and religion is anyone listening to the voice in their head and thinking it comes from God or “a god.” The powerful and weak, the rich and poor, for milennia, have listened to this little voice and said, “God told me […]
