Listen up numbnut

If you think that this post is speaking directly to you, it probably is. I know all of the atheists and agnostics in this cyber community or at least most of them. It is not just a coincidence that these individuals are all good cyber citizens who routinely demonstrate considerate behaviour towards... Sign in to see full entry.

Yet another take on Pascal's Wager

7th century mathematician Blaise Pascal came up with the following conclusion to justify an "attempt" to believe in God. "If you erroneously believe in God, you lose nothing (assuming that death is the absolute end), whereas if you correctly believe in God, you gain everything (eternal bliss). But...

There are still some capable of shocking even this jaded heart

We have had a recent influx of lunatics onto Blogit and of course they want to spread the word of God. After reading a few postings lately on this site filled with utter nonsense, I ask myself why I would ever want to be even remotely like any of these people that would disparage others for not...

NOPEACE -- you asked for it

In your recent comment you ask these questions: "But what type of Education has led you to doubt the belief of God, what type of world travel had led you to doubt the belief of God, What science has led you to doubt the belief of God. You say I'm brainwashed, but in turn I could easily say that you... Sign in to see full entry.

I've never used the word psychosis to describe believers

Mostly because it is too general or generic in nature. I am not a health care professional and considering that most people I dialogue with on the subject of religion are not health care professionals either, I prefer to use the word "delusional", primarly because it has a commonly understood and...

I'm not in the mood to wind up bible thumpers today

Hey it happens, even the best bible thumper winder uppers need to rest and recharge the batteries. The inevitable fatigue coming after hearing the same boneheaded remarks left as comments to the point of nausea. You know the types of comments. Pleas to dumb it down and just believe, regardless of... Sign in to see full entry.

Does the Big Bang Theory work for you?

Personally, I find the Big Bang Theory inadequate as a means of explaining how the universe began but it is important to emphasize that it is just a theory and merely the most popular of many such theories, all of which suggest that the universe had a beginning. There is a school of thought that... Sign in to see full entry.

The Last Supper always cracked me up

When I was a little kid of 10 or 11 years old and didn't know any better, I used to sometimes believe the incredible whoppers that the nuns at the mission school would attempt to force feed us. Sometimes the stories were too ridiculous to be believed, even for an undeveloped brain of a pre-teen.... Sign in to see full entry.

It's tough getting by in life when your mind is "shackled"

Yesterday I received the comment seen below from the venerable blogger TAPS-, you can read her stuff HERE. "gomedome, you know, its funny how both the believer and the non-believer each refer to or think of the other as being "shackled" and think of themselves as being "set free." Now I didn't post...

The elusive search for the "truth"

We have all heard the catch phrase "searching for the truth" but just what the heck does it mean? Observations over my lifetime have demonstrated for me that those claiming to be searching for the truth are looking for anything but the truth. They are looking for re-affirmation of their beliefs,... Sign in to see full entry.
