  • Moving to Medium

     By Aaron Lord

    Posted on October 11, 2024

    After all the shenanigans over at WordPress, I've decided to start publishing on Medium. You can follow me there if you like. I have 15 subscribers here, so I'll probably be importing you over there after the waiting period is over. I don't know yet all the ins-and-outs of how... [Read More]

  • Theodicy, Slavery, and CSA

     By Aaron Lord

    Posted on March 20, 2024

    Since I began deconstructing my faith 10-12 years ago, I have been keeping notes in Evernote with various tags (later Notion, as I had to abandon Evernote due to its constantly-increasing fees and restrictions). I even made a Mind Map of all the points I had developed. [Read More]
