Hallelujah, God is great, he loves us all and I believe.

Can you guess who this well known blogger is? (saying that it is a self portrait has already been used).... It is not actually meant to be anyone specifically but is intended more as a metaphor for those who's worldviews have been formed from limited experience and narrow perspective. There is not...

When religion and culture clashes

A recent posting here on Blogit reminded me of an incident that took place way back when I was in grade school. Grade 7 to be precise, we were all little brushcut numbnuts just beginning to comprehend the birds and the bees. "Beginning" is the operative word, information on the subject of human...

I didn't believe my "virgin" Canadian eyes

There are differences between Americans and Canadians, some so obvious that there is no mistaking citizens from the neighboring countries as one another. The societies themselves are different in so many ways, despite a common heritage of descendancy from the British Empire. Canadians kept their... Sign in to see full entry.

Things are a little different in Canada

In the last federal election in Canada, our Conservative party attempted to use a page from President G.W. Bush's election strategy by appealing to the right wing evangelical vote. Yeah, we have bible thumpers in Canada just like in any other free country, the only difference here is that they are... Sign in to see full entry.

Wallowing in our pathetic problems

The current energy crisis is a development that some of us have predicted. All the signs were there, it was only a matter of time when the false economy of artificially low fuel prices would adjust itself. Add the double whammy of this happening in conjunction with a dollar eroding in value, as well... Sign in to see full entry.

It's time for a change

I'm stale as a week old donut when it comes to writing this blog, even blogging itself has become a bit of a chore sometimes. To alleviate this "boredome" I decided it was time to update and revamp this blog, it's template and the general topics of discussion. Waddaya think of this blog's new look?...

Please cure my pornography addiction?

Not me actually but there are some people that feel they are addicted to pornography.... Excuse me for being a little uncompassionate but how does a person get addicted to pornography? As in all psychological addictions where there is no physical dependency on an identifyable substance, the answer... Sign in to see full entry.

What atheists should and should not object to

In this case I am using the word atheist to describe all persons who are either agnostic or atheist. Over the last few years we have seen more objections from persons who do not believe in God, or are of other religions than the majority Christian religions protest to being unwilling participants to...

Maybe you are right - let's teach creationism

In the last few years we have seen attempts by religious folks to elevate to the status of a scientific theory; the belief that all that is, was created by an omnipotent being. Where a religious belief does not constitute, nor come close to meeting the criteria of what is considered a scientific... Sign in to see full entry.

The Evolution Killer?

Sometimes I read comments on this site that make me burst out laughing. I know it is not nice to laugh at those who are not playing with a full deck but when they keep adding their half baked opinions unswayed by facts, common sense and reason, they are simply asking for it. The evolution killer......
