“This is why I don’t believe in God”

Last updated on: August 10, 2015 at 7:36 am By Dan Wilkinson

“Gina” is a 3-minute documentary film made by Loading Docs about a woman with a connective tissue disorder that has left her unable to talk, deteriorated her muscles, and causes light and sound to further damage her body. She is bed-bound and endures ongoing and excruciating pain. The film makes the case for voluntary euthanasia. Gina, by means of touch-alphabet communication, says “I think a compassionate god would want people to have the option of a humane death.” I find... Read more

Making Room for the Celibate and Gay

Last updated on: July 31, 2015 at 6:05 am By Guest Contributor

When it comes to facing down the shrill imprecations of televangelists and street protesters, or the assignment of blame for earthquakes and other disasters, there’s hardly a more longsuffering group of people in America than gays and lesbians.

But how would others look at me if I prayed, “Dear Heavenly Mother?” Read more
