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"

Monday, September 5, 2005Writing as nice a religious blog as I am able -- that is my goal tonightSo this is me being a nice guy to some bible thumpers for 2 seconds... oops I'm falling off of the nice guy bandwagon already......but onwards: I call it "little furry bloggers rising into heaven".......... This is a rotating script that can have more names added to it, or to my dissapointment, have...

It seems he had been at some hallelujah meeting somewhere and every one was falling down on the floor doing the...

Nothing I can say will be of any value. I live in another country, making my own emotions inherent with a degree...

It motivates me in a number of ways. The very first instinct is...

Using ancient fairy tales as a...

People of faith just don't want to hear it, they will fight tooth and nail in an effort to cling to...

We sat as brush cut, wide eyed children listening to the nuns, Sister Neverhadaman and Sister Noguyforme...

For reasons unknown to me, I will leave the comment hotlinked so that you may visit this person's blogs. "GomeDome, Please Leave the Country Pack up your bags, and get out of the US....

Of course you don't have to listen to every word this idiot says but at what point does a person holding such an influencial position as a media personality and a so called spiritual leader lose their credibility? Recently he...

I refuse to kid myself into thinking that there is any value to be found in simply mouthing the politically accepted words while constantly... Sign in to see full entry. |
