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, February 15, 2006Why a democracy must be and remain secular >>>>>I think it is a fair statement to say that religious beliefs in any society and concerning any religion, range from the reasonable beliefs of reasonable people to the fanatical beliefs of not so reasonable people. In a democratic society, this range of beliefs may encompass a number of different...

He was a real nice guy, he was completely spun, but a nice guy nonetheless. His problem was that some obscure bible thumping cult had got ahold of him and scrubbed his little brain to the point of being sparkly...

Of course no one can say for certain as credible physical...

At the ripe old age of 13 years, I became the heir apparent to the 17th trapping line that was at one time the pride of the Hudson's Bay Company. The fact that it was handed over to a 13 year old should give you an idea of it's...

They do really believe that they are forming in a group to demonstrate worship for, and...

No religion on the planet today can make this claim. All religions have conditions for inclusion, the most obvious condition being that members must accept the particular religion's central icon as...

There were about 30 kids in our grade 5 class. 5 white boys which included myself, 3 native girls and 22 native boys. The natives were almost all of the Northern Algonquin tribes and ranged in age from 9-12...

At least that's how it feels or the best analogy I can give to describe when someone decides to use quotes from their holy book to contend an issue in absolute terms. Without an ounce of regard for what I...

I don't actually think this way. This post is a case of "if the shoe fits" but if you think that I am speaking of you... I probably am. Most of the atheists I know in life are quality individuals. Not...

Is it really plausible that this being called God would make his one true word so innacessable to such a large portion... Sign in to see full entry. |
