Our children and their girlfriends and spouses, along with our thirteen grandchildren, were over to celebrate Father’s Day on Sunday. We had a delightful time. On Monday we drove to Cincinnati to watch the Reds play the Colorado Rockies.

As you can see, the Gerencser family lives empty, purposeless lives. While some of us are religious, most of us are not. None of us are Evangelical, nor are we fans of much of what we see in organized religion. Thank God, the curse has been broken.
The next time an Evangelical tells me my life is worthless without Jesus, I will point them to these pictures and say, “Sure buddy, keep telling yourself that.” I live a happy, fulfilling life, one filled with love, all without Jesus and the church. Impossible, you say? The evidence is right in front of you, much like Jesus when he said “here are the nail prints in my hands. Will you not believe?” Or do you have an agenda; a strawman you must maintain at all costs?
Bruce Gerencser, 66, lives in rural Northwest Ohio with his wife of 45 years. He and his wife have six grown children and thirteen grandchildren. Bruce pastored Evangelical churches for twenty-five years in Ohio, Texas, and Michigan. Bruce left the ministry in 2005, and in 2008 he left Christianity. Bruce is now a humanist and an atheist.

Bruce, what a beautiful family you have!
I really like the goofy-faced photo of you, Polly and the grandkids. That particular one made me 😀 grin. Thanks for sharing these photos of you and yours with us.
Really great pics, Bruce and Polly! It sure looks like you are destined to live a sad life, devoid of meaning, oh wait…? No, it really looks like a full, happy life.
A lovely family. You are truly blessed.
And your Reds won. Doesn’t get any better than that
It looks like you had a lot of fun at the game! And you all had a fun get-together for Father’s Day! Would you have ever predicted that you’d have your family back in the 70s when you and Polly met? (My favorite pic is the goofy one!)
Nothing makes me happier than seeing your family get together on a nice summer day when it is hot but not too hot.
Great pics Bruce, Polly and fam!
Looks like you’re all having fun! Delightful pics.
Aww! Great pics. <3
