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 . . .

Saturday, November 15, 2008A tough question for bigoted, gay bashing fundiesIf a person has a bit of intelligence and somewhat of an inquiring mind, there will come a point where they become fed up with the not so intelligent ravings of those who don't.

During this past US federal election and even in the primaries as party candidates were being chosen, we heard many a prospective candidate say they support civil unions but not same sex marriage.

Maybe a little baby killing here and there? All of these things are after all condoned in numerous passages throughout the bible, yet there are some amongst us that are insistent that this book of glaring...

I just needed something to fill in the subject field but while we are at it why are you the way that you are? Fairly innocuous words at first glance but there is a subtle negative implication inherent in this phrase. We don't walk up to people...

For non catholics, that is where you go into a little dark cubicle and fess up your sins to a priest sitting in an adjoining little dark cubicle through a little...

This is not always true, on most days it isn't hard to find a few posts that are off and running with easily disproven contentions as their central theme. We can chalk...

The premise is nothing more than prejudice manifesting itself as a facade of social propriety. To have a majority vote on the rights of a minority group for equal...

But I could not imagine living any other way. An American friend of mine related his health care nightmare story to us few years ago. He...

Like it or not, the results of this past Tuesday's election were the very best thing that could possibly happen to the USA. You now have a president elect that is as smart a man as you will find in politics. His appeal is universal, not...
