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"

Wednesday, March 1, 2006So how many times have you been blocked by other bloggers?As near as I can tell, I've been blocked 4 times in all. 3 times by current bloggers and once by a long departed individual. The reason that I am not sure how many times I have been blocked is because I have never been blocked for innapropriate comments or behaviour towards other individuals. The...

Tariffs on our softwood lumber when entering the USA and members of the American religious right trying to influence our internal domestic policies. The softwood tariffs have put our lumber producers at a major disadvantage in exporting to the USA....

I look back at a time almost 40 years ago when I got caught, as a ward of a catholic school...

There may be some form of unifying energy or force, that creates a commonality, if not a bind between all living things and I cannot prove that there is not a God or supreme being of some sort. I cannot offer...

Like any little kid would do, I conceded to authority and for the most part believed every bit of implausible drivel that the nuns would use in attempts to make my brain as sparkly...

We thankfully don't get Pat Robertson polluting the Canadian airwaves, instead we get Pat Robertson wannabes, or people that are trying to be just as crazy...

You may find this hard to believe but I could not care less if your God exists. I certainy would never consider wasting as much of my precious mental energy attempting to prove to myself that he does exist, as some others...

A natural reaction from someone such as myself, who would like to think that every philosophy that I live by is an original thought derived from my own intellect, is to...

Those that are insistant on judging others entirely by their own religious beliefs and those who justify wrong actions simply because those actions are technically not illegal. We've seen the former too often here on Blogit. Some...

There are some fine writers in the religion and spirituality category here on Blogit and maybe it's just the impression I get, but I seldom read about anyone planning writing projects from this category. I don't think I have heard once since I have... Sign in to see full entry. |
