My God Died at Sandy Hook
My God vanished two years ago today at the Sandy Hook massacre. He never returned. Years ago, I visited hundreds of elementary schools when I was a traveling artist in the 1990’s. I taught, read books, drew pictures, sang songs for thousands of children and it … Continue reading

Dangerous thought #7, “Love Does Not Require a God”

Dangerous Thought #4 – “Might the Success of Jesus be Largely Attributed to His Threat of Hell?
