The herd mentality is a key component to any religion's success

For some reason God chose 2,000 years ago to demonstrate for mankind that he actually existed, at least for followers of the Christian faith. Imagine for a second that the events as depicted in the bible never took place. Do you think it possible that the scenarios as described back then would be as... Sign in to see full entry.

Dealing with ethical dilemnas

I think the most telling thing in determining a person's character is how they handle ethical dilemnas, especially if they are of the grey and fuzzy variety. Situations where the rules or lines are not clearly defined. In the business I still dabble in since my semi retirement, I am faced upon... Sign in to see full entry.

They used to feed Christians to the lions --- at least it was a start.

I always get a chuckle out of people's ability to seperate and combine issues for convenience. For example: how many times have you heard someone say "this country was founded, built and made great by following Christian values." then a few short breaths later say something to the effect of: "this...

Contrary to popular myth... God isn't found in some ancient book

YEAH THAT'S RIGHT......I'M GONNA TELL YOU WHAT GOD IS. It was the Spring of 1968. I was still Living way up North amongst the Indians. The Indians were my friends. True friends. I had beaten on a couple of them real bad.... you know, fisticuffs that adolescent males will get involved in. I punched... Sign in to see full entry.

The ever crazy Rev. Billy Graham appears on Larry King

Flipping through the channels yesterday evening I happened across Larry King interviewing the aging Rev. Billy Graham. The ever crazy Graham was rattling off some nonsense of how he can prove all of the bible's fairy tales, Lucifer cast out of heaven to become Satan and that how Satan is alive and...

So just what is wrong with this world today?

Well first off we have to stop adopting war orphans. Foreigners are even taking our babie's jobs. Okay so it is reasoning a la Homer Simpson but for the most part determining what is wrong with the world today is not easy. Invariably, determining the causes of our problems become blurred with...

Welcome to the wannabe messiah network.

It's been 22 months since I joined this blogging site. In that time we have seen many bloggers come and go for a variety of reasons. Some simply never caught the blogging bug while others left in dissapointment. Sometimes dissapointed in their own performance as writers but most times the let down... Sign in to see full entry.

Are you the type of person that merely pays lip service to what is right?

If you were to take a quick cruise through the religion and spirituality category on any given day you will find a host of offerings discussing proper behaviour towards your fellow man. Love thy neighbour and all of that wonderful stuff. Suggestions on how the world community would be a better place... Sign in to see full entry.

Has your faith effectively made you a simpleton?

The definition of a Simpleton: A person lacking intelligence or common sense. Further expanded to include those persons who are incapable of comprehending anything but the simplest of concepts. We have all seen it many times right here on Blogit where an individual will go to great lengths to... Sign in to see full entry.

What makes you so certain that you are going to heaven and I am not?

Just recently I endured yet another plea to dumb it down or turn off my brain and believe. To me it's pretty sad when a pre-requisit of subscription to anything is that one is asked not to use their entire mental faculty. Of course this is not what the individual making this plea was trying to... Sign in to see full entry.
