Some chilling realities

As I wind up my little foray into investigating Satanism and Satanic Ritual Abuse, it becomes evident that a great deal of what society believes it has suffered at the hands of Satanists are self inflicted wounds. There simply is no way to determine accurately how much of what we have heard and... Sign in to see full entry.

The "real" threat of Satanism in our societies

In my posts of the last couple of days I attempted to examine how real the threat of Satanism, the actions of Satanic cults and violence or "evil" perpetrated in the name of, or on behalf of Satan really is. Feeling that it was a threat best described as overblown, I attempted to not let this... Sign in to see full entry.

The Church of Satan seems to be innocent

At least innocent of the great number of things that those outside of this obscure little cult would want to accuse them of. Claims of Satanist ritualistic murders, the fear of large portions of our youth turning to Satan and all other things related to Satanism in general seem, as far as I can...

I must live on a different planet

The complete and utter nonsense that some people advance as fact never ceases to amaze me. The number of people that will readily accept and proliferate the most preposterous of notions simply because it aligns with their beliefs is a source of equal astonishment. I clipped the following from a... Sign in to see full entry.

Why do they come to my blog?

I don't go to their blogs, the few times I have done so, I have left weeping a few tears for the future of humanity. When it is considered that the offence taken by the contents of a blog are in the eyes of the beholder, the responsibility for allowing this to happen at some point shifts entirely to...

"It's just a theory" - is not a valid argument

Awhile back I received an email from a fellow blogger who, after posting about her notions on the failing points of the scientific theory of evolution, asked me why I was not commenting on her posts. From her perspective, she had written a profound refutation of the scientific theory of evolution... Sign in to see full entry.

Dinosaurs and the Bible

I don't know what it would take for me to discard everything I have learned during my educational years to adopt a new perspective. There are a number of things that we accept as being true even if the information we have received is being amended constantly. It is my opinion and a view shared by... Sign in to see full entry.

Where do they all come from?

A question I have asked myself many times as yet another fervent fundie comes out of the woodwork like a carpenter ant on acid. Armed with what they believe to be true, they spew a frothing and acidic diatribe in my direction, which is more often than not interwoven with half truths, nonsense or...

Things Creationists should learn before opening their slobbering cakeholes

For most people and in most circumstances, any avenue of enquiry, premise, hypothesis or scientific theory rejected as unworkable or inadequate, is a position taken after careful examination. In other words; Most people do not outright reject something that others believe is factual without making a... Sign in to see full entry.

What are Obama's Beliefs?

I find it unfathomable that so many people, bloggers right here on this site in some instances, can be so confused about what one of their presidential candidates believes. It would be comical if not for the fact that we live in democratic systems where even the most mentally challenged get a vote.... Sign in to see full entry.
