A question for stupid people

If you are not stupid, it is very likely that you already know the answer to this question. Okay, so here goes. Recently, a plane was flying through the New York City area when it apparently encountered a flock of birds that took out both engines. The quick thinking pilot landed the plane in the...

My collection of famous emails from other bloggers

Since I have been on Blogit, over 5 years now, I have received quite a few emails from fellow Blogit members. Most deal with subjects of mutual interest and in these cases I usually reply, if time allows. My apologies to anyone I have neglected to respond to. But if you can imagine and if you have...

Has anyone here ever seen Satan?

It is hard to fathom how people can believe some things to be true. I've used believing in Satan as an example in the past. Very surprisingly, at least to me, is the number of people that still to this day insist that the devil is a real corporeal entity. I have to ask: Have you ever seen a real... Sign in to see full entry.

There's bible thumpers, then there's bible thumper thumpers.

I definitely fall into the latter category of a person that will thump a bible thumper if they begin thumping their bible too hard... hence: "bible thumper thumper". Contrary to popular misconception however, I do not harbor a specific disdain for Christians above all others, I am just as happy to... Sign in to see full entry.

The moral of the stories

Like most other children with parents that were adherants to one of the Christian religions, when I was growing up I was indoctrinated and conditioned from a very early age to accept a number of time worn stories. No one ever mentioned the words allegorical, mythology, metaphor, conceptual or... Sign in to see full entry.

The power of the bible

We have had many a blogger show up here on Blogit to share with us their views on the meanings of the sometimes ambiguous words found in the world's all time best seller. Many people believe that this book is the word of God with this belief varying from the inspired word of God to the inerrant word... Sign in to see full entry.

This Blog is now a Book of Revelation free zone

To the unbrainwashed eye, the Book of Revelation goes something like this: There will be wars, famines, plagues, epidemics and heavenly signs that will inform the world of an impending crisis. Then along comes the Antichrist, who will be a political ruler that will establish control over the whole... Sign in to see full entry.

No atheist ever started a holy war

Every time someone farts in the general direction of someone else in the middle east, the end times proponents come out of the woodwork. Their voices heard every time there is an Arab-Israeli War and there have been quite a few including; 1948–49, 1956, 1967, 1973–74, and 1982 as well as countless...

Lob rockets to start a war with Israel - rinse and repeat

I hate to speak the blunt truth when it straddles the lines of insensitivity but how are we supposed to even care about yet another muslim militia picking a fight with Israel and getting their asses kicked? Our western sensibilities have been bludgeoned by these ongoing replays of this same old... Sign in to see full entry.

The Church of Gomedome 2009

Many of us have made New Year's resolutions that include the usual stuff, quit drinking, quit smoking, quit gambling, quit over eating and quit farting in elevators. It always seems that we are attempting to overcome our weaknesses, quit doing this or quit doing that. This year, I said to heck with... Sign in to see full entry.
