The problem with the word "theory"

There are probably very few amongst us that do not use the common vernacular of the word "theory" in our everyday conversation. Aside from those who have been conditioned by working or studying in one of the scientific disciplines, all persons that speak the English language tend to use the word...

Stigmata - the biggest con job of them all

The manifestation of Stigmata or the wounds of Jesus Christ has to be the foremost example of what lengths people are willing to go to as a means of gaining favor and attention. It also illustrates to an even greater extent what people are capable of convincing themselves of. I have actually seen a... Sign in to see full entry.

He has a "Popemobile", does he also have a "Pope Cave" ???

A little while ago, the world's number one king of living in denial sounded off about all that is wrong with Canada. Yep, Pope Benedict decided to set us straight with his wacky version of how the world should be. Specifically he addressed the issue of homosexuality and some imaginary connection...

How many angels were kicked out of heaven?

Part of Christian mythology has a great battle taking place in heaven just before creation. An insurrection led by the king of the bad guys Satan and his army of hapless bad angels.

How badly have your beliefs failed you?

It's a fair question considering how many people have demonstrated for us that their beliefs have in fact failed them miserably. Where we can never lose sight of the fact that some of the crazier people we have met on this site are only representative of their own views, they have all been selling...

Is Homosexuality Normal?

Awhile ago here on Blogit, I used the phrase “ ….a natural thing like homosexuality “ I had forgotten for a brief moment where I was, that there are people out there in Blogitville that still want to insist that same sex attraction is unnatural. Insist that it is simply a bad choice made by sinners.... Sign in to see full entry.

Madalyn Murray O'Who?

Like who the hell is Madalyn Murray O'Hair?... I have since come to learn that I should have phrased the question in the past tense. Apparently she was an outgoing and boisterous individual, who happened to be an atheist but was more than anything an opportunist. Her legacy in it's entirety is the... Sign in to see full entry.

If it is a secret society, how do you know about it?

When I hear people blather on about the New World Order (NWO), the one world government, or the illuminati, I wonder if they ever take pause to think about their sources of information on these things. Seriously, how can a society be secret and poised to take over the world, yet you with your... Sign in to see full entry.

If you are brainwashed - how would you know?

The term "brainwashed" or the act of brainwashing is generally defined as: "any systematic effort aimed at instilling certain attitudes and beliefs in a person against their will, usually beliefs in conflict with their prior beliefs and knowledge" This would be an accurate definition of prisoner...

Talking religion with crazy people

There are many people that have stopped into this blog over the years that I have enjoyed having dialogue with. Many reasonable, intelligent people frequent my comments section on a continuous basis... on a continuous basis... on a continuous basis... on a continuous basis... on a continuous...
