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 . . .

Wednesday, December 31, 2008Happy New Year to everyone on BlogitHave you ever wondered where all of our new year's traditions came from? First off we can thank Julius Caeser for establishing January 1st as the calendar new year once and for all.

Life is in reality nothing more than a series of choices, from the mundane day to day selections and discriminations we routinely make, to the life changing decisions that are occasionally forced upon us.

Inevitably they all walk and talk the same. Where it becomes entertaining is when an...

It doesn't actually mean anything though it initially strikes one as implying something either sexual or...

In my case it was every day for many years. I had been taken in completely and in the insidious manner that cults ply their trade,...

I'd like to take all persons involved in this needless debate and club them over the head with my big wooden Christian bopping mallet. But in this case, I would make no distinction between atheists,...

The question "what do you worship?" is followed by the assertion that "everyone worships something" then is followed by the contention that we must all worship something, then finally; it is inevitably...
