I’ve encountered individuals who, upon realizing they couldn’t compete with me intellectually, resorted to personal attacks. These attacks ranged from comments about my physical appearance to insults about my personal choices.... Read more

Today, I’m stepping away from the usual discussions of the tangible issues that grip our world, to explore a topic that, while intangible, holds the potential to effectuate real change in real lives. This is about the power of love, a force so... Read more

My Journey: From Religion to Atheism to Antitheism

Last updated on: February 1, 2024 at 4:39 pm   By Derrick Day

In this post, I’m sharing something personal and transformative. For years, my social media presence has been defined by my role as a Christian Pastor and ecumenical leader. However, in the past two years, my journey has taken a drastic turn – from Christianity to atheism – then from atheism to antitheism. This change isn’t about challenging beliefs but awakening from life’s autopilot and embracing conscious, deliberate living.   Shift 1: From Religion to Atheism My transition to atheism wasn’t... Read more

Soulmates: Real or Imagined?

Last updated on: January 16, 2024 at 10:15 pm   By Derrick Day

This caused me to revisit my own personal working hypothesis and the concept of soulmates in general. The... Read more
