Jesus is coming . . . try to look busy

As this blog approaches 35,000 clicks, I find myself examining all that has been accomplished from the effort of posting so much material over such a long period of time. This is one of those moments when you reach for the big nurf hammer and beat yourself over the head with it continually. A few... Sign in to see full entry.

I'm only afraid of two things; wimmin and the po-leece

So sayeth Gator McClusky played by Burt Reynolds in the early 70's movie White Lightning. I've personally gotten over my fear of women in recent years. Strange creatures that they are, never ever saying what they actually mean, it takes quite a few years to figure out how they think. Then, no man... Sign in to see full entry.

I need some lessons in speaking hillbilly

If there is one language I have never mastered it is hillbilly but admittedly it is much more than simply a means of communicating, it is an all encompassing perspective, a distinct outlook on life. One where ignorance is worn like a badge of honor and the simple act of becoming embarrassed at... Sign in to see full entry.

The challenge always remains the same

On any given day on this site, a reader will happen upon someone who believes in God describing those who do not believe in God. The depictions are invariably negative and always seem to have a great number of groundless assumptions thrown in. Some folks have developed entire character profiles of...

Choosing your battles wisely

A popular catch phrase amongst Christians is: "This is a Christian nation founded on Christian values"... it is quite often used as a means of justifying breaches of the "establishment clause" of the US Constitution's First Amendment. The establishment clause is quite clear, there is nothing... Sign in to see full entry.

My views on the Washington Atheist Sign controversy

I'm sorry but I can't stop laughing at how stupid and unnecessary the controversy in Olympia Washington has become. To quickly bring everyone up to speed, one local community group applied and received permission to place a nativity scene on the premises of the state capitol building, other groups...

This is a really tough question - are you up to it?

Back in the late 50's and early 60's one of the most popular TV shows for children was Roy Rogers. On the show he used to jump off of his trusted stead "Trigger" and just throw the horse's reigns over a hitching pole without ever really tying them securely. Do you think that Trigger ever ran away... Sign in to see full entry.

I often wonder about some bloggers

And yes, this was just a cheap attempt to use the word "bloggers" in a blog title but it is from Blogit where I draw most of my conclusions for this post. I've been here over 5 years now, I know, I need a life but that aside, over this time frame I have been exposed to a vast number of online... Sign in to see full entry.

In the interum

Swoosh, sploosh, waaaaah and we are born. According to some, at this very moment we inheret a debt incurred to us by some long ago fruit chomping floozy. The clone woman put us in hock with this relatively minor transgression, while the omnipotent being that created us and loves us all as his... Sign in to see full entry.

Proper etiquette when clubbing Christians over the head

I wandered over into some of the blogs that I usually avoid today, read a bit and then was reminded why I usually avoid these blogs. It is not my intention to insult the authors of some of these posts, they have enough problems it would seem judging by some of the sentiments expressed in their... Sign in to see full entry.
