Blog DescriptionAttempting to provide a different perspective on the things that we have come to accept and believe but this time around with a much mellower tone. Make no mistake however, patience with the bible lobotomized, (or those rendered dysfunctional by any holy book for that matter), is still in short supply. All I would ask anyone to consider is this; we all have a penchant to default to the notion of respecting the beliefs of others, my first response when someone tries to play that card against me is always the same . . . "you first"

Tuesday, February 15, 2005Some girls are spun from sugar and lace while others are just spun.There is really no implied meaning to this blog title other than it is a blog title, we tend to forget that all of these postings in the Religion and Spirituality category are on a blogging site. A place where controversy, catchy titles and fluff for content, reign supreme. A couple of days ago I...

The same old tired subjects keep re-surfacing, the same old tired and very predictable reactions continue to manifest themselves. Not much changes. Deeply religious people reading an opposing viewpoint, (it...

It probably wouldn't occur to them that I have as much justification to be angry with them, for insisting that I accept the improbable as if it is their right to insist that I do. As if it is acceptable...

He rested on the 7th day apparently. By the looks of the size of the universe he created he must have needed the rest. The big guy must have been...

We were all buying it mostly as the nun went through it as if it were a factual historical account. But curiously I noticed some of the Native boys seeming a bit confused. This was unusual as they were all struggling with English at...

The church of I am right and you are wrong. I don't actually know what the name of their church is but in their minds they are right and everyone else is wrong. I haven't set foot in the place for about 4...

In other words; after a person has been subjected to an overwhelming influence of brainwashing the exit counsuler must find a way to reason with the individual. It can't be an easy job. If some of...

But instead I pushed past the title and found this little gem of an excerpt: "......please show me why you think your idea or version of God is the way to go......" We all tend to forget that we are in one... Sign in to see full entry.Friday, January 21, 2005Bite MeMakes for a good blog title don't you think? Of course you know where it came from, I left a comment on the posting of our resident venerable Pastor and that was the response I got. Another cerebral exchange with this individual. Mind you I did think it quite funny. The comment exchange is below. I... Sign in to see full entry.Thursday, January 20, 2005Just who in this world lives their lives by the bible?Many claim to. Right here on Blogit we have seen such claims, even heard some people suggest that you take all of the bible and not just part of it. One such person has been divorced in their life. Whoa wait a minute, that doesn't count does it? Anybody here think slavery is okay? Have you stoned... Sign in to see full entry. |
