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"

Thursday, April 6, 2006A tribute to Justsouno - no kidding, seriouslyThis may seem strange to some people for me to lament the leaving of the venerable blogger Justsouno, but I like to think that I can rise above personality conflicts to see the big picture. I like to think that, but human emotion does not always allow us to see with clear focus once our feathers...

They were convinced and absolutely certain that the number of people that God would allow into heaven was 144,000. Not 144,001 but 144,000, no more and no less. This number came from...

The catholics have the upper hand when it comes to getting into heaven because they know at least a handful of methods of entry that the protestants do not know of. The back door method of having the Virgin Mary lead you by the hand...

It went on for a few years leading up to the eventual passing of the bill allowing same sex marriages in Canada. Depictions of...

The Star Trek series, all five of them, The Original, The Next Generation, Deep Space Nine, Voyageur and Enterprise all had one thing in common. They treated religious beliefs for the most part as a joke. They also advanced some very worthy, albeit...

I know all too well how the Holy Trinity is set up and I know all too well about many other beliefs of Christian based religions, it's just that I...

We could also add the general distaste of the notion that we, as an enlightened and superior species, capable of moral distinction and...

"No not me, never, why I think that freedom of religious expression is paramount to having a free society...harrumph"....but the reality is much different. Different to the extent that those who do not harbour at least some form of inherent prejudice...

From those who would suggest that it is a sin and an abomination in the eyes of God, to those who just cannot get past their inherent...

After enduring years of the painful drivel that comes out of the mouths of those affected by group think I want to throw my two cents in. So it's time to make up a plaque bearing the Ten Commandments, post it in a public building and refuse to... Sign in to see full entry. |
