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 . . .

After one gets over the shock of finding so many people here on Blogit adhering to a fundamentalist mindset, other little realizations don't hit you over the head quite as hard but still make you wonder.

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...

Sure, there have been warnings that Satan will make me eat my words or even better, a few testimonials from people who claim to have witnessed the ol Beezlebub himself in action.

For a heterosexual to say such a thing one has to understand the issue thoroughly and look at it from a broad perspective. It is after all not my cause but this is true only in the strictest sense. To ignore all of the underlying premises of equal...

Considering that there is not one person on this planet that follows the bible to the letter for example, then it could be said that hybridizing beliefs is common practice. At least in the Christian...
