The sound of a thunder storm is merely the angels bowling

I always get a chuckle out of hearing human beings referred to as "pets" of God. It is almost childlike in lack of depth, it has the effect of taking me back some 40 years to a time when I was in fact a child and might have swallowed some of this or even believed my blog title. The grand... Sign in to see full entry.

JUST WHERE IS RELIGION GOING IN THE NEXT FEW DECADES ????

I AM FAIRLY CONFIDENT THAT THE "REBORN PHENOMENA" IS UNIQUE TO THE USA. It does not seem to have the same momentum in other parts of the world. The US President being reborn himself probably being a major catalyst for this growing trend. But what does this bode for the USA? It would seem a form of... Sign in to see full entry.

I wanna lie naked in bed with Yoko Ono for world peace -- ya that'll work

One of the definitions of insane is performing the same identical action over and over again yet expecting a different result each time. This in effect is what proponents of more religion in our lives or religion as a solution to our societal or world community ills are suggesting. Historically we... Sign in to see full entry.

You can't make people smarter by arguing with them

When I woke up this morning I still had a bad taste in my mouth from yesterday's little vitriol exchange with another blogger. During episodes such as this one can only examine and modify their own behaviour. If a person is claiming to be spiritually enlightened or an adherant to a worthy life...

THE FUTURE OF RELIGION ON THIS PLANET--- IT WILL EVENTUALLY DISSAPEAR

I'VE POSED THIS AS A QUESTION A FEW TIMES BEFORE HERE ON BLOGIT. No one has really taken a stab at answering it so I'll give it a shot....... By the time the middle centuries rolled around, religion was at it's peak. That is to say that the percentage of the population that were true believers and... Sign in to see full entry.

FIGHTING THE GAY PRIDE PARADE --- AND THEN FIGHTING OFF THE BIBLE THUMPERS

It's not often I let my energies be drained in conflict with the obtuse but upon occassion it is simply the right thing to do in giving someone a good cuff in the head to tell them to smarten up. Such was the case the day I decided to get involved with a public outcry against our city's annual gay... Sign in to see full entry.

mary_x -- I didn't ask you where it came from I asked you what it means.

In my comments yesterday, mary_x left the entry seen below. My reply which is found below her comment (burgundy coloured text) was turning into a post so I said what the heck, let's make it a post. Gomedome, "Truly you must be born of the spirit, flesh breeds flesh and spirit breeds spirit." That's... Sign in to see full entry.

The annual gay bashing, bible thumping, bigots parade

If there is one thing that really bothers me it is when a group of Canadians make me ashamed to be a Canadian. This past weekend, a holiday weekend in this country, was one such example as the gay bashing bible thumping bigots held a parade to protest gay marriage. You may not be aware that gay...

If there is a God then where the heck has he been hiding?

Open your eyes and you will see God all around you! We've all heard this tired refrain too many times to count. The same people that spew this type of stuff are quite often the ones with both their eyes and minds completly shut to any other possibilities. Ancient man put together a series of fables...

Are you part of the pornography solution or part of the problem?

If we can agree that pornography is a societal problem when it "escapes" it's intended audience of consenting adults to be readily absorbed by children...then it becomes each and every adult's responsibility to not let this happen. I hope that most people agree with this basic premise, or at least... Sign in to see full entry.
