Okay, . . . so it wasn't my last Blogit post

While looking for a suitable venue for a handful of articles I'm writing, a number of things began to occur to me about the years I spent on this site. The routine of producing a regular blog entry in itself became a discipline. Since my departure 2 1/2 years ago, writing has almost become something... Sign in to see full entry.

My last Blogit post

The last 6 years have been quite an experience, a great deal was learned from others, many people have come and gone. I haven't had much time to stop in during the last few days of my membership, today I made time for one last perusal through a few different categories. Upon reflection, I can say...

It's time to move on

Nothing lasts forever, it's been nearly 6 years of the same routine but without realizing it, that routine has found itself in a downward spiral. Admittedly, much of the downward spiral is a natural process, interest and subsequently enthusiasm is difficult to maintain and eventually wanes. The same... Sign in to see full entry.

Belief is the easy route

If you meander through a few blogs in this category on any given day, it won't be long before you come across some believer's perspective of what goes on in the minds of non believers. Invariably the assessment is negative, or describes a perceived shortcoming, or flat out describes what is wrong... Sign in to see full entry.

All will be well my son - once you confess your sins!

I remember going to confession as a child very vividly. It may possibly be the most ridiculous undertaking I have ever been involved in as a human being. You would have to envision the setting to fully understand, in the catholic church they build 3 little closets into the side of the wall. Each... Sign in to see full entry.

Then who created God?

It's not an entirely stupid question. The most common of perceptions pertaining to creation are that one singular being, timeless in origin, omnipotent, etc. etc. willed everything into existence with his (invariably masculine) super powers. So where did this perception come from? Why one God, why... Sign in to see full entry.

You don't represent God - who are you kidding?

Other than yourself and possibly a few others that share your same level of obtuse isolation. Recently I witnessed one more incident on this site that confirmed that which I already knew. Vast numbers of the North American so called Christian will have a lot to answer for when their mythical... Sign in to see full entry.

Words that seem to scare the masses

"Scare" admittedly is an exaggeration in most cases but not always, there are definitely some people who have graced this very site that have reacted in a manner that could only be described as fear. The words are Satan, communism, socialism, liberalism and atheism. Somehow an association has been... Sign in to see full entry.

Garnering consensus for foregone conclusions

Most people are not fully cognizant to what extent their thinking has been influenced by religious social conditioning. From basic concepts such as the eternal struggle between good and evil to questions of our origins, at some point in our lives we have all been programmed to think in a certain...
