Three years ago, a little girl with diabetes was found dead in her Australian home. She needed insulin shots. Instead, with urging from their church, her parents just prayed. The 14 adult church members have just been found guilty of manslaughter. www.friendlyatheist.com/p/after-fait...

Words matter. Don’t let them be distorted, overused, or dressed up to appear virtuous. Stay true to their authentic meaning instead of bending them to fit a purpose.

Vida Sana, une secte pseudo-philosophique-écologiste en Espagne, projette l’image d'une vie saine ou végétarienne en marge de la société, pseudothérapies, associées à l'idée d'un éveil spirituel et d'une harmonie avec la nature.

When you read something and feel seen

Why do we seek control over others? Often, it stems from fear—fear of uncertainty or vulnerability. Sometimes, it’s about asserting power and importance. Other times, it’s a defense mechanism, a way to mask our own insecurities. But true strength lies in self-regulation, not in dominating others.

If you want your children to be intelligent, read them fairy tales. If you want them to be more intelligent, read them more fairy tales. -- Albert Einstein

All thought, emotion, action, every word you speak Come from Love or Fear. All things flow from there. So consider where your center sits while thinking, feeling, acting, speaking and self-talking. Just pause and center yourself in love. But take no Crap!

As darkness embraces us during the shortest days of the year, if you get the chance to pause from life’s whirlwind — why not break free from the noise of group think? Dare to explore your thoughts and challenge your doubts. It’s in these quiet, personal moments that we uncover what truly matters.

Life isn’t a black-and-white movie—stop training your brain to see it that way. Nuance is the real star here. It’s the balance, the shades of gray that make truth complex, vibrant, and worth exploring. Spoiler: none of us have the full script of reality anyway.

Hard conversations that happen too often stop being about resolution and start being about endurance. Maybe it’s time to ask: Are we solving problems or just rehearsing them?

Change is hard, but being stuck is harder. If you don’t like your life, rewrite it—plot twist optional.

Absolutely

There’s no place like home for the holidays—because family is everything. Beware of anything that tries to distance you from them. #FamilyFirst

C’est un acte de courage qui pourrait l’amener en prison. Sans voile, les épaules dénudées, la chanteuse iranienne Parastoo Ahmadi a diffusé un concert sur YouTube, hier. L’évènement est considéré comme historique en Iran où la loi islamique impose un code vestimentaire strict.

There is only one book I’ve ever read that claimed it was acceptable to hit a child, while all other books I’ve read, written by doctors, therapists and paediatricians, emphasized that it was very harmful to children.

Interpreting a story is a personal journey; letting someone else do it for you is like outsourcing your imagination.

Every child requires affirmation; if it is not found within the family, they may seek it elsewhere as they grow older. A love-bombing cult will be happy to greet your young adult daughter or son.

Just too funny!!

Humans often worship invisible “superpowers” that offer no repeatable or verifiable evidence of their existence, yet they rebel against leaders they can see and hear. Is there wisdom here?

Over the last four years I’ve had a couple of organizations I really like ask if I would want to work with them in some capacity. I declined. There is no organization I agree with on everything. Not one. A horrible thought for me is not being able to say what I want.

In a country where people live in a strenuously heavy context. One musician trying to lighten up spirits. Slava Ukraine!

“If your enemy is hungry, give him bread to eat; If he is thirsty, give him water to drink, for you will be heaping burning coals on his head.” Proverbs 25:21-22 Responding to hostility with kindness can disarm anger and transform relationships.

Morning from Kyiv. The night was with drones partially. I managed to have a #warcoffee before the power went out. You know, I almost forgot it is St Nicholas Day. Oh my. Even a handful of snow fell. Today's Ukrainian art: Oleksandr Murashko (1875-1919), Winter 1905

The idea of Christmas: a mother, a father, a child, ordinary people living ordinary lives, struggling for basic needs, is a very powerful symbol. The love and togetherness between FAMILY members. No wonder this story’s been striking a chord with so many different cultures for millennials.

If you can't leave without losing your relationships with all your friends and family... you are in a cult. #JWorg #Jehovah'sWitnesses #exJW

It’s not so much the belief that’s the problem but the persistent efforts to impose them on others. 😡 . #atheist #skeptic #religion #christian #doubt

Justice isn’t just a legal outcome. It’s a moment of recognition, a collective decision that says, ‘What happened to you was wrong.’ For survivors, justice isn’t just a resolution—it’s a restoration. 💖✨ #HealingThroughJustice #SurvivorStories

The faster you listen to your gut feeling, the less time you will waste on learning the lesson.

Winter is for reading.

Don’t search for the truth. You may never find it. Instead, identify (and discard) what is not true; and in doing so, get nearer to the truth.

Why did I believe I could ever change the world as a young adult? Well, I can answer this: when did I become disillusioned? And most importantly, WHY?

Once you’ve reached the top. When you’re a member of a governing body of a religious institution and you’re taken care of, fed, and get your sheets cleaned by unpaid workers, and live on beautiful dwellings. When all you do is meetings and superstar appearances, what else do you have to hope for?
