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, January 25, 2006Can you feel the happiness all around us my brothers and my sisters?As usual, it doesn't take long before I begin chuckling to myself from reading what is written in some people's blogs. There is quite a variety of opinions concerning religion on any given day around here, but that is not what I find humorous. I get a laugh out of those who claim to have been shown...

Back in the winter of 1966-67, the shack of a house that we lived in was buried in a violent snowstorm, completely buried. Before...

Mother nature conspired to completely bury us in snow, a result of a series of natural events that had to fall in a particular order, to create the perfect storm. In this case the perfect snowstorm. As I mentioned in the last...

Exciting and important to whom? It always meant the same thing to us, some more nutcase(s) either got chased out...

He showed up in early Spring of 1967, I remember the image as he first walked across the playground at recess, carrying 2 large overstuffed dufflebags and wearing a backpack. He knew nothing about what he was walking into, he was not a misfit as all the other priests seemed to...

He would have been a misfit in any social setting, to the Catholic Church he was an embarrassment. That is the sole reason that we, as students of the mission school, were graced with...

In a lot of ways, when I characterized her, she became an amalgamate of several other young nuns. They came and went with such frequency that keeping track of them all was impossible. With the mission school having an...

She gave up her life to dedicate it to God. In laters years there was no other way to describe her than as one sorry old bitch. We quickly shortened that assessment to just "stunned bitch" solely because...

It is inherent in most religious messages and my single biggest beef with all religious doctrine. In most religious messages...

"I know" he thought "I'll start a global crime spree by making up some outlandish theories"... feeling smug and confident of success in his insidious planning, he drifted off to sleep. While...
