My dad wrote this last year. One of my favorites. There are legitimate times when people say “I’ll pray for you”, such as when you have a major calamity in your life. A simple “I appreciate your thoughts and your concern” suffices in the face of these sincere expressions of care and concern. However, there [...]

Speaking in Michigan
November 29th, 2011 
JT Eberhard This Thursday I’ll be giving a presentation of Dear Christian at Grand Valley State University in Allendale, Michigan. For those unfamiliar with the talk, it’s pretty much a run-down of the most common arguments for god’s existence and why I find them unsatisfactory. This will be even more fun considering… This event is co-sponsored with [...]
What Teachers Make
November 29th, 2011 JT Eberhard A god damned difference. This guy’s website is taylormali.com.
Shitty Prose
November 28th, 2011 JT Eberhard Sometimes even we responsible adults like to have a few drinks with friends of a Saturday night. On those occasions, we sometimes write crappy prose that reminds us when we used to write in middle school. But you know what? Fuck it. It was the best damn thing I could come up with at the [...]
Mental Health Start Up
November 28th, 2011 JT Eberhard Last week I asked people around the internet to talk about mental illness. If they were victims, I asked they talk about their afflictions. This was a tall order, but I’m happy to say that the response has been overwhelming. We are all in this together, and there is strength in that. We empower each [...]
We Don’t Expect Perfection
November 27th, 2011 JT Eberhard My dad penned this the other day. Thought I’d share. I read this comment on a blog the other day: “Non-Christians expect us to, I don’t know, be perfect. That is impossible as no one can do that.” I have heard this, and variations on it so much, that I wanted to address the concept. [...]
Moral Accountability
November 27th, 2011 JT Eberhard This made me smile. After almost all six presidential candidates at the Iowa Family Leader’s presidential forum had expressed fidelity to Jesus Christ and talked about rough patches in their lives, moderator Frank Luntz said, “You are so admirable in terms of character.” It was an ironic remark given the forum’s theme of morality and [...]
Touch Me, Touch Me Jesus!
November 26th, 2011 JT Eberhard The video of my talk from Skepticon IV has been circulating around the intertubes. I’m flattered. I’m also touched at all the support I’ve gotten as well as the numerous people opening up about their own afflictions. The best so far has been the people who are mentally healthy asking what they can do. The [...]
Talking About Polyamory With Your Partner
November 25th, 2011 JT Eberhard As I learn more about polyamory I’m noticing a pattern. Most of the people I talk to who live polyamorously began their relationships as polyamorous. But is there anybody out there who started out in a monogamous relationship and later came to the realization that polyamory was what suited you best? Did your partner come [...]
Why The Skeptic Community Must Concern Itself With Mental Illness
November 25th, 2011 JT Eberhard Here’s my talk from Skepticon IV. If you agree, please help get the ball rolling. If you’re a blogger who lives with a mental disorder, write about it. If you don’t, learn something new about mental illnesses and write a post about what you learned or dispel a myth or share how knowing someone with [...]
