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 . . .

Wednesday, July 29, 2009The worthiness hierarchyIt can be said that one of the subliminal effects of religious social conditioning is that it establishes in the minds of most religious adherents a "worthiness hierarchy".

There was a time when on any given day there were at least a handful of loonies offering us their convoluted world views and telling us all that was wrong with us. Now I want you to promise not to laugh, we are speaking of people that need...

Inadvertently offending others is probably the most likely of...

That would be the June that just passed. Somehow...
