Hello!

I'm David, aka NakedPastor. I've been blogging about spirituality, deconstruction, and religious freedom since 2006.

I'm an ex-pastor turned full-time artist. You can check out my cartoons, paintings, and merch in the NakedPastor Shop.

Connect the Dots

"Connect the Dots" cartoon by nakedpastor David Hayward

"God loves everyone. Some people just can't connect the dots."

I know cartoons like this confuse some people who follow me.

"DO YOU BELIEVE IN GOD OR NOT?!?!"

Like I've said before, I have a healthy believer as well as a healthy atheist within me. They peacefully coexist.

We all experience one reality, though differently. We apprehend this one reality through our personal paradigms. We articulate this one reality through our various words and languages. But this one reality is the same.

I agree with Joseph Campbell: "God is a metaphor for that which transcends all levels of intellectual thought."

So I employ this word as a tool to communicate to those of us who use it.

Bottom line: love is for everyone.
