A Reason to Smile
Homosexuality, virginity, guilt, and sex; Or, does God want you to wait till marriage?
By
B. Dave Walters
This was one of my my controversial (and popular) articles to date. In honor of the Beliefnet post on “Who said it: Jesus or Paul” (and the challenge of Christianity vs Paulianity) I am reposting it here: Question submitted via Formspring.me: “I feel guilty for not being a virgin and sometimes having gay feelings (because…

“All complex things decay…work out your own salvation with diligence” -Buddha’s dying words The reason why I became a Spiritual Coach, and do the work that I do, is because I am working hard to bring God back to the forefront of people’s minds and lives. And even as you read that, you probably reacted in…
What’s so special about 11/11/11?
By
B. Dave Walters
I must admit, when my little girl was born 1 year ago today (at 10:10 am no less), I was a little excited about the fact that she’d be one on 11/11/11. So, what’s the big deal about 11/11/11?

By
B. Dave Walters

It highlights the real difficulty of *situational* use of the Bible as an authority, which doesn’t work for reasons we’ll discuss a…
Q&A: What does Psalms 35 mean to you?

B. Dave Walters
*This was one of the articles that lead to me winning the ‘Next Beliefnet Blogger’ contest; I am reposting it here for anyone who missed it: Question submitted via Formspring “What does Psalms 35 mean to you?” Psalms 35 is a rather lengthy passage, so I have pasted it down below. Like any passage from any…
Wrestling with angels, Or, spiritual, but not religious???
By
B. Dave Walters
Let me start off with a couple of disclaimers here. First, nobody KNOWS where we come from, or what happens when we die; firm belief is not the same as empirical knowledge. And in the vacuum of absolute knowledge, all we are left with are beliefs; or put another way, opinions. So my position is…
