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 . . . "you first"

Tuesday, July 22, 2008Stop thinking and believe dammit!I've started many a blog with words something along the lines of: "One thing I am continually amazed by is... " you can simply pluck something off of the list of amazing behaviour by persons wanting to convince others of the validity of their beliefs and plunk it in there. It is a rather extensive...

I've had this theme in comments re-occur quite a few times over my stint here on Blogit. Someone with mouth open and with ears and eyes shut suggests that to believe in their God is something that people can simply "try"......

From an early age I began to realize that what the catholics have based a religion on so many years...

I'm speaking more of outright lying to placate the beliefs and hence the feelings of others. It is an art form, one that I have become very accomplished in through necessity...

Not by choice mind you but simply because it is the right thing to do. My elderly mother, currently in...

(okay, I'll stop with the analogy now)... but I think you get the picture. I...

From this point on in history, though a few thousand Jewish people remained in the region,...

Having your head full of unadulterated mindless religious nonsense upon entering high school is...

We see many of the "spawn" of this insidious trend show up here on Blogit from time to time, with their heads full of fire and brimstone, which unfortunately...

(I'll explain this statement a little further along) I can look back on many instances during my time on Blogit where I have been somewhat surprised at how people react, at certain social trends and what seems like an imposed collective ignorance....
