I blame God for this mess

If the state of world religion is looked at with an objective eye, all one can do is laugh or cry as it is nothing more than one big, sad and extremely cruel joke. Meanwhile, a mythical omnipotent being who supposedly created us and loves us all as his children, sits idly by and does nothing to...

Popular misconceptions and other fun things

It isn't actually "fun" when one realizes that far too many people are all too happy to blame others for the problems of society, are happy to proliferate negative stereotypes of entire groups of people and are happy to remain blissfully ignorant.... There is nothing fun about these things at all if... Sign in to see full entry.

The good and loving God people of Blogit

It really is comical when you think about it. In this category moreso than in any other category here on Blogit, a fair number of people cannot stand each other. And why is this so? There are varying reasons that range from our own inherent personal tastes to our inherent petty human shortcomings.... Sign in to see full entry.

Who did Adam and Eve's children marry?

The 6 days of creation are just one story of a number of similar yarns that primitive peoples with a limited knowledge of the world around them dreamt up because they didn't have no TV's to watch in the evenings. They made a lot of stuff up during those times and it did not matter what part of the... Sign in to see full entry.

Sorry about your luck you hellbound losers

The "Sorry About Your Luck" Christians are festering in our midst again. That would be those people who are members of relatively obscure Christian sects that insist on their knowing the one true path to heaven but in addition, are happy to tell the rest of us we are hellbound. For normal people the... Sign in to see full entry.

Imagine a world run by fundies

Quite often we are treated to the myopic ramblings of those who think that the democratic society they live in should move closer to, if not outright become a theocracy. Invariably the religion they envision as the state religion is none other than their own, every other one of their fellow citizens... Sign in to see full entry.

My car drove itself to the beer store!

It must have been angels... beer angels.... and they weren't particularly good drivers. Some days you can read a number of stories here on Blogit that deal with experiences that only can be described as ridiculous. Not ridiculous so much in the strange occurrences that are being related, we can... Sign in to see full entry.

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.

Darwin's Delusions? - now that one cracked me up

Especially considering the source....... but we can talk about delusions if you would like. Real and serious delusions where sometimes grown men and women truly believe that a guy who died 2,000 years ago is going to come swooping down and take them, and only them, up to live in heaven. It gets... Sign in to see full entry.


Let's cure all the gays from being gay

Jumpin Jesus there are some knuckleheads in this world. I was watching a debate on TV awhile ago between some religious leader and some poorly armed civil rights activist moderated by an equally ill equipped host. The religious leader jumped into using all of the people they have "cured" from being... Sign in to see full entry.
