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"

Friday, September 30, 2005At what point does the perpetrator become the victim?We've seen examples of the question posed in the blog title many times here on Blogit. Take for example a person that writes a blog that creates some controversy, clearly by doing so they have asked for it and to a certain degree deserve what they get. But when is what they get in return too much?...

It seems clear to me that atheists are NOT non-believers. That category, by definition,...

I don't for a moment accuse you of it, but I do wish that Christians would cease to endow us with their own preconceived...

It was probably a case of the context this allegation always seemed to be enveloped in. Invariably a context of pure...

It really doesn't matter which church or religious organization one belongs to...

When is the answer to this great mystery going to come to you as a revelation? When is it going to sink in and when, oh when, are you going to learn your lessons? The word "you" being a collective...

Some call it the Catholic Church. I prefer to call an enterprise with 3 trilllion dollars in accumulated wealth by it's real name. I even hung around long enough to have my first communion. I didn't have much choice in the...

There is a school of thought that does...

ID then becomes a scientific disagreement with the core...

All manner of unpleasent terms, suggestions and implications were used. It seems that someone feels they have an opinion more valid than my own. They also do not comprehend the basic...
