Why the Christian middle ground is no place for me

Last updated on: June 4, 2015 at 3:22 pm By John Shore

When I was thirty-eight years old, I felt broken. I had a terrible past I couldn’t psychologically shake. I smoked too much weed and drank too much booze. I had no career and didn’t want one, because the only thing I’d ever cared about being was a writer. Two years before I’d had a spate of good luck in that regard, when, within a one week period, I had fourteen short stories accepted for publication in as many solid little literary... Read more

Why You’re Completely Able To Judge Caitlyn Jenner

Last updated on: June 3, 2015 at 9:53 am By John Shore

Today my friend and fellow Patheos blogger Ben Corey posted a piece entitled Why You’re Completely Unable To Judge Caitlyn Jenner (Or Anyone Else).

Attack kitty sayz: “Can I haz no gayness now?”

Last updated on: May 29, 2015 at 1:35 pm By John Shore

I was walking in a park near my home this morning when, miraculously, I snapped the photo above. I managed to catch the kitten before it scampered away after its vicious attack, which scratched the ear of the guy on the left pretty good. It’s a feral cat, basically. But I am convinced that with some patience, understanding, and perhaps a little electro-shock therapy, the creature stands at least a chance of being restored to its natural, loving self. And so...
