God Once Again Turns a Blind Eye
Once again God is allowing human suffering to continue. The latest stupidity by Hizbullah is causing hundreds of deaths in Lebanon. The radical group has once again pushed Israel towards war by killing and kidnapping soldiers. Of course God doesn't seem to be too concerned by all this death and...

Thoughts About Spiritual Cleansing
Spiritual cleansing focuses on cleaning from the inside out. First, the heart is cleansed and filled with only "pure" intentions. Next, the person resolves to keep any "unclean" thoughts and actions from their mind. I'm not sure if this would apply to all religions. I just know that growing up in a...

Does the Bible Encourage Strength or Dependance?
I recently read a blogger who wrote about how sins can keep us strong. Yes, this does sound convoluted. Basically, she made a point to hold up David's adultry and how it never left his heart. According to her philosophy keeping our sins in mind can remind us that without God we are nothing. It gets...

Assholes are suffering from a Disorder
It's finally happened, the dysfunctional assholes of the world get their own disorder. A soldier accused of raping/murdering a young Iraqi girl and killing her family has pleaded not guilty to the charge. But that's not the interesting part. This man was discharged from the military for, get this,...

Why are teenagers afraid to be sexually honest?
I read an article concerning sex and teenagers that is disturbing. It points to a lot of lying and silence when it comes to teenagers and sex. The article titled, "Forget sex? Virginity pledgers lie about past," on MSNBC.com, discusses virginty pledges taken by teenagers. Unfortuantely, the...

Post on Spritualism
I must confess something. I am mystified by the angry defiance that a lack of spirituality meets. Why must people be offended when someone refuses to place any trust in the unproven? To me belief is akin to hypotheses-it is not reliable. Since my words are inadequate I will refer to Carl Sagan:...

I don't get Faith
I don’t get this thing called faith. When I was a member of the Mormon Church I never questioned faith. In the religious universe faith is the alpha and omega, the all mighty power. Now that I question religion faith has become an excuse to me. There is a passage in the Book of Mormon that reads,...

Spiritual Insights Inspired by X-Men 3
I have figured out why Storm's character bothers me so much in X-Men 3. She reminds me of the Christians who condemn their former members when they leave the church. Storm spends most of the film denouncing the cure for mutation. She makes the statement, "There's nothing to cure. There's nothing...

When will 9-11 Quit Being Used as an Excuse?
Why in the hell is America so obsessed with death? Newspapers are still throwing around language like post 9-11. Everytime I hear that line it annoys me. You know why? It's been five freaking years! Move on already! Hell, why don't we say America's post World War II and start hating the Germans...
