The name God or Delusion reflects an earlier way of framing questions about belief—one shaped by urgency, argument, and the need for clear conclusions. It marks a period in my life when inherited faith had collapsed and careful examination felt not only appropriate, but necessary.
This site remains as a record of that inquiry.
The God Question blog is not an argument or a campaign. It is a body of writing that traces a long season of honest questioning—sometimes rigorous and confrontational, sometimes reflective—written by someone who once believed deeply and refused to stop paying attention when certainty failed.
Some of the earlier posts here are direct critiques of sermons, doctrines, and apologetic claims. They reflect a time when argument was the clearest tool available for naming what no longer made sense. Those entries remain intact, not as positions to defend, but as honest markers along the way.
More recent writing reflects a quieter posture. The questions remain, but the urgency to persuade has faded. What matters now is lived clarity—how belief shapes identity, fear, morality, and purpose long after formal doctrines lose their hold.
This shift is not a reversal. It is a continuation.
The inquiry here is connected to a broader life oriented around attention and honesty. Those themes are explored more personally through my writing at RichardLFricks.com, where The Pencil-Driven Life reflects on living without scripts or performance. They are also embodied physically through Oak Hollow Cabins, a place designed for stillness, simplicity, and unscripted time.
If you are certain in your beliefs, this space is not here to unsettle you.
If you are questioning, it is not here to rush you.
If you are simply curious, you are welcome to read at your own pace.
Nothing here asks you to arrive anywhere.
It only asks you to look carefully—and notice what happens when you do.
