The conceptual level

Back when I was in grade 5 at the ripe old age of 10 years old I had the privilege of being entertained by a nun, one Sister Neverhadaman as she fumbled her way through explaining to our devoring young minds exactly who and what Satan was. She began by showing us a scary picture. You know the type... Sign in to see full entry.

Some bloggers make me wonder?

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.

If it's a secret society, how do you know about it?

When I hear people blather on about the New World Order (NWO), the one world government, or the illuminati, I wonder if they ever take pause to think about their sources of information on these things. Seriously, how can a society be secret and poised to take over the world, yet some average Joe (or... Sign in to see full entry.

I can tell you what I don't like about fundies

I can't speak for anyone else on this matter, nor would I try to assemble a list of what others don't like about fundies. They can come up with their own reasons I'm sure. From the get go, one must concede that to have reasons not to like a particular group, no matter who they may be, is in reality... Sign in to see full entry.

Facing the man in the mirror

Along the way in life we must eventually acknowledge 3 basic realities; that we are the determinants of our own destiny, we are what we are individually and stuff happens. Self realization pertaining to our individual abilities and shortcomings, coupled with never deflecting responsibility for that... Sign in to see full entry.

The pitches are lob balls but the catcher is blind

There are a number of recurring themes that any person presenting a divergent religious perspective in any public forum will be subjected to. They occur with an almost comical regularity, the individual presenting them seems never to consider the implications of what they are saying. Probably... Sign in to see full entry.

Let's all post the Ten Commandments on public property

Like good little sheeple knuckleheads. If you will join me, I think it is time I took a stand on this sort of thing. After enduring years of the painful drivel that comes out of the mouths of those affected by brain endangering group think, I want to throw my two cents in. So it's time to make up a...

Teaching the natives to speak proper English

Back when I was a little brushcut numbnut attending the catholic mission school, I remember helping one of my native friends to learn English. We started with simple words such as please and thank you, then moved on to sentences. Once sentence I thought might come in handy was "Listen sister, I've... Sign in to see full entry.

What planet are you from? . . . Earth? . . .really?

The complete and utter nonsense that some people advance as fact never ceases to amaze me. The number of people that will readily accept and proliferate the most preposterous of notions simply because it aligns with their beliefs is a source of equal astonishment. I clipped the following from a... Sign in to see full entry.

A question I often feel compelled to ask

When is the Jewish zombie coming to rescue you with his magical powers? Of all of the indignations that one must endure as a non believer living in a society comprised predominantly of Christians, to listen to them speak of the utterly ridiculous as not only possible but as very likely, has to top...
