The dark side will poop in your corn flakes

I often wonder if some of the authors of blogs we read around here have ever heard of the concept; The Power of Positive Thinking? I'm not speaking of the book of the same name by Norman Vincent Peale, even though much of what he wrote and personified in his lifetime is enveloped in the concept.... Sign in to see full entry.

The folly of "saving" strangers

I will never fully understand why it is so important for some people that strangers they meet on a blogging site believe in their God. It is understandable, however misguided, when a person has concerns about the "spiritual well being" of a member of their family or even a member of their... Sign in to see full entry.

Lessons for feeble minded fundies

One thing that cannot be denied is that some of the fundamentalists "fundies" that have graced this site have been extremely feeble minded. Some of them, dumber than a sack of hammers. I've underlined the word some because it has been my experience that feeble minded fundies don't fully comprehend... Sign in to see full entry.

Woe is me - can I get you to agree?

A little while back I had one of my many run-ins with a fervent believer here on Blogit. After commenting on their blog, a rather innocuous comment that mildly disagreed with the point the blog author was making, I withstood a few minor insults. No big deal, it had happened before with this blogger,... Sign in to see full entry.

Religious Heros and Heroines

Back when I was a little brushcut numbnut attending religious primary school classes, we would quite often be treated to depictions of some of our religion's (I say "our" because at that age I didn't know any better) greatest heroes and heroines. You know the ones, Joseph the Carpenter, the guy who... Sign in to see full entry.

Repent Sinners Repent

Or I'll have to kick your ass in the name of Jesus. I confess, I stole a squirtgun from a variety store when I was around 6 years old. That and the fact I regret the time I did not spend with my kids when they were growing up are pretty well the extent of what I would change in my life if I could.... Sign in to see full entry.

WARNING - Impending shortage of Christian Catchphrases

Scientists warn of an impending shortage of Christian catchphrases by the year 2015. You know, those throw away lines that are supposed to be deeply profound to those who aren't buying the so called "truths" based on ancient mythologies and inspirational to those who do. Read more about it: HERE If... Sign in to see full entry.

Welcome to the poetry channel

I didn't want to entitle another post: "Bible thumping loonies needed!" or "Where have all the loonies gone?"... but the point is still the same. This site has changed quite a bit over the last 18 months or so, it seems the poets have taken over. I have nothing against poetry or poets for that... Sign in to see full entry.

The UFO and aliens delusion

Our thinking tends to naturally connect the two subjects of UFO's and extraterrestrials or aliens. Admittedly they harbor a very close relationship to one another as topics of discussion but they are distinguishable as separate subjects. Not all UFO's, as has been proven many times, are of...

Modern Day Mythologies

Just about every day of my life I have been exposed to ancient mythology in the form of religious beliefs. 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...
