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 . . .

TV, the movies, music blaring on our home and car radios all serve to bombard us with storytelling, poetry, a plethora of images,...

Two incredibly smart women in my social realm come to mind immediately; one is involved in medical research, while the other is one of our country's foremost nutritionists.

It is true, despite common misconception and the willingness of those who really know nothing of what they speak to contend the following: that there is not one case in recorded history...

Sure we have had a few, we probably have a few gracing our midst right at this moment, but for the most part; the industrial duty religious nut cases have been few and far between...

They are ruining society covertly despite their small numbers, that is, when they aren't sacrificing chickens, worshipping nothing and generally doing the bidding of Satan.

Recently I was reminded of the story of the 1968 Virgin Mary sightings in Egypt. I remember them from that time period as I was in the last few months of my time at the catholic mission school. I had to listen to every delirious detail from the nuns of how the earth was...

It's not like I go out of my way to hear about these things, it's just that we have some religious folks on both my side and my wife's side of the family. These religious folks come in two...
