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 . . .

Tuesday, March 20, 2012Dinosaur hunters neededReally, I wouldn't kid about such a thing. For the last few years one group of rather interesting people have been looking for donations and volunteers to go dinosaur hunting, looking specifically for a breeding pair of pterosaurs.

That's a nice notion, endorsed...

The question was: "Are you aware that the Jewish people do not recognize Jesus Christ as either the Messiah or the...

One need only look at immigration patterns and the rapid growth of any number of ethnic communities in North America to come to this conclusion. We are already seeing...

The process of determining who will win the party nominations is always the most entertaining part, I simply cannot believe some of the outlandish things that so...

I have yet to hear a convincing argument as to why marriage should not be an inalienable human right for all citizens. What we have all been treated to over the past number of years is a...

Maybe it is for the better, the general tone of comments left on the posts of others is much friendlier than in the bygone era. There is however one glaring...
