The Blogit leaders of men (and women too)

Being a spiritual leader seems to be a lot tougher than it looks, at least judging by some of the difficulties those around here who have claimed to be spiritual leaders have experienced over the years. I guess that is to be expected. Once a person clambers up onto a perch and declares themselves a... Sign in to see full entry.

Man attempts to marry goat in Canada

It was inevitable to hear some tell it. Let gays marry and the next thing you know people will want to marry farm animals or their pets..... of course this never happened but the slippery slope argument suggesting it would sure did. We were treated to this type of irrational thinking constantly in... Sign in to see full entry.

Why is U.S. society so divided?

In response to a post by: cantey_1975 First off I appreciate your attempt to explain that which you feel is causing social divisions in your country. It is a difficult thing to do from the inside, obstacles such as inherent bias, allegiances and heartfelt beliefs will always influence the... Sign in to see full entry.

Who wins the US election doesn't matter anyways

Because the illuminati is going to be controlling them no matter who it is. But even this doesn't matter because pretty soon a beast is going to come along with a rubber stamp and say "Hold still, you little bugger" as he stamps a few numbers on your forehead... Doink. Now you will be able to buy... Sign in to see full entry.

Please, Please, Please, believe in my God

One thing I will never fully comprehend is why it is so important to some people to have strangers they meet on a blogging site believe as they do. When I add up the number of times I have had people plead with me to begin believing as they do, it is not just one or two requests but dozens over the... Sign in to see full entry.

The Rapture was yesterday - you must have missed it

How does it feel to be left behind? That's the funny part about rapture proponents, they think that somehow despite their actions and how they live their lives that they will be included in the rapture. You know my real feelings on this preposterous fairy tale but still, it is rather comical to hear...

I am a seeker of truth - how about you?

"Truth" is a funny word, where it is by definition an absolute, in that there should only be one truth, in reality, like beauty, it is in the eyes of the beholder. Over my time on Blogit, which is now going on 5 years, I have met many a person that has claimed that they were looking for "truth"....

Where religious beliefs and human rights collide

We don't have to look very far to find examples of persons denying basic human rights and reciprocal consideration to others in the name of their religious beliefs. If you have somehow missed the minor transgressions that routinely take place right here on Blogit, a foray into the real world will... Sign in to see full entry.

God is this and God is that

How in the hell do you know what God is? Just as those who want to tell us what awaits us when we die, you cannot possible know, no one can. We have observation, our own instinctual feelings about this and reams of ever evolving religious constructs to influence our own personal bias when we offer... Sign in to see full entry.

Teaching them proper English was the least I could do

Back when I was a little brushcut numbnut attending the catholic mission school, I remember helping one of my native friends to learn English. We started with simple words such as please and thank you, then moved on to sentences. Once sentence I thought might come in handy was "Listen sister, I've... Sign in to see full entry.
