Introduction

My new blog is not about me. I intend it to be about Truth.

But here I’ll tell you what you need to know about me. My name is Doug. I’ve lived 60+ years, and most of the time, I’ve been paying attention. I consider myself a scientist, a skeptic, and a Christian, not necessarily in that order. (If that’s hard to take, hang on, your ride is just beginning.)

I am serious about religion. If you believe nonsense about religion being “personal” and “spiritual”, or that it doesn’t matter as long as you are “sincere” you won’t find anything here to make you feel good about that, though you are still welcome to come along and listen.

I am less serious about politics. Politics is important, sure, but it seems to me a lot of people take it just too seriously! So if you disagree with my political views, that’s just fine. Go have a conversation about it with someone you love.

Finally, I am most serious about Truth. Yes, with a capital “T”. If you think a “truth” is relative or subjective, it’s not “true for you”, and it’s not true for anybody. Let that sink in.

For anybody (?) still with me, welcome aboard. I don’t expect to have a lot of Earth-shattering stuff to talk about, but I see things that I don’t hear a lot of people talking about, and while I am wondering why, I just might pose some questions (and maybe answers).
