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 . . . "you first"

Monday, May 8, 2006When will believers wake up and smell the coffee?I cannot for the life of me understand how someone can believe that a conscious and caring supreme entity controls all that is and all that happens. Mankind has been locked into an eternal struggle of religious wills since the dawn of time. Each group insisting that their version of God is the right...

That would be anything that came out of the deep recesses of her ever putrifying brain. She hadn't caught on...

Especially when used to lend credence or validity to a contention. I have to chuckle at the attempts of religious folks to hijack the...

Unfortunately for those who have claimed to have made contact with extraterrestrials, the likelyhood of any otherworldly life form ever having visited us has much the same odds, but not in favour of....

Not surprisingly, most descriptive efforts have been loaded with insults and dripping with disdain towards those that do not believe in a supreme being. So...

Fish stories that if held up to a bit of objective scrutiny, wouldn't pass the laugh test. Appreciate that the school itself resided on sacred...

Grade 7 to be precise, we were all little brushcut numbnuts just beginning to comprehend the birds and the bees. "Beginning" is the operative word, information on the subject of human...

You tell yourself that you must consider all sides, all opinions are valid if you want to have your own opinion considered as valid, you keep telling yourself this but they are just annoying. Wanting...

Quite often this mental depiction will be a middle aged male, dressed in long robes, with long flowing grey/white hair and...

Asked of me yet again. The simple answer is that you are confusing hatred and contempt. Hatred is far too strong a word, contempt is definitely a better choice. Not contempt for all of Christianity, for... Sign in to see full entry. |
