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.

Soulmates: Real or Imagined?
Last updated on: January 16, 2024 at 10:15 pm By Derrick Day

Then I found the person who has demonstrated in many ways – both subtle and overt – that she is my soulmate. This caused me to revisit my own personal working hypothesis and the concept of soulmates in general. The... Read more
