It's Your Thinking, Stupid!!

Now that I have your attention, perhaps I can impart some wiz-dumb that I have acquired in the usual fashion -- in other words, through great personal pain and suffering. I'm like most of you: I hate being told not to think. I think it's a communist plot or some form of mind-control sponsored by the... Sign in to see full entry.

What I Have Learned About God....

It is true that the instant I begin thinking about God, I have lost God. The instant I assign any symbol of any kind, any concept of any kind, to the notion of an omniscient First Cause, I have misunderstood Who created me and taken a position as author of the First Cause. This very fundamental... Sign in to see full entry.

Nothing Rises From the Dead

Fairly often these days I find myself annoyed and disappointed by the collective willingness of the human species to accept information purely on the authority of those who spew it into the collective unconscious. That annoyance is often aggravated by the rantings of so-called religious people who... Sign in to see full entry.

Biblical Relevance And Human Misconception

I seriously doubt that Ms. Inklings' analysis of Biblical Relevance is any more complete, or accurate, than the analyses of Elaine Pagels or Jack Miles. Miles won a Pulitzer for his work in explicating the Old Testament (Talmud) in a manner that makes perfect sense to me. His work explains the how... Sign in to see full entry.

How Christian Fundamentalists View George W. Bush

If the fundamentalists of the world put half as much energy into biblical and religious scholarship as they do into twisting other people's arms who do not believe as they do, the world would be a much safer, happier place. But every fundamentalist/evangelical Christian I have ever spoken to, or... Sign in to see full entry.

1984 in 2003" Art Labelled As, "Hate Speech"

I never thought I'd live to see the day when an award-winning piece of art would ever again be relegated to the ash heap of history. This time by the thin-skinned rich people who voted for their own self destruction in November, 2000. The United States has a history of relegating, redirecting, or... Sign in to see full entry.

Here's Your Fabulous President, Mr./Mrs. Fundamentalist Christian...

In a move that the United States media, locally and nationally, refuses to publish, the wife of a man murdered in the 9/11 atrocity has her lawyer state her case through Al-Jazeera here. Because the hypocritical and ludicrous Right Wing, Fundamentalist Christian majority on the Supreme Court cleared... Sign in to see full entry.

Judgement Day? I Disagree With Everyone...

...because that is who I am not. And who I am not is who I keep trying to convince myself, and others, that I am. I am the source of all my discomfort and pain. But not because I sin. Sin is an archery term referring to, "missing the target." There is no ONE target that we all must hit in time and... Sign in to see full entry.

Liberty Takes the Last Train to Hartsville...

According to a news source from outside of our country (US) right here, our very own USAF and intelligence services have been attacking our local citizens for some time now. Given what occured with Senator Paul Wellstone, an issue I address here, and with General Tommy Franks' declaration of war... Sign in to see full entry.

God Is An Atheist

I know most of us have been struggling for some time, at some level, with the notion of a loving Creator. At the center of this expansive universe/multiverse/whatever the hell it is that we seem to be scratching around in, there certainly must be some set of rules or beingness that can be accepted,...

About this Blog

In this blog I hope to discuss, adding some food for western thought, honestly and openly, the perils and pitfalls of religious dogma, perhaps offering alternative explanations for the dogmatic interpretations of, "God," and, "salvation," offered up by most right-wing fundamentalists.
