An international view of political correctness

In most parts of the free world there has been a long developing trend towards the use and adoption of politically correct language. At the root of this trend is a fundamental premise which implies that to deem certain derogatory words as unacceptable in public discourse, demonstrates a... Sign in to see full entry.

Dignifying stupidity with a response

I have voiced my opinion on the little game played by one of our bloggers a couple of days ago. Where he posted a blog with an intro stating: "since ALL announced Atheists are losers" one day, then came back the next day to explain he was merely speaking of the loss that a person admitting to...

When they cannot comprehend - - - - - - - - -

What is the best way to handle it? We have all had this happen to us, either in this cybor community or in our lives, where someone we are having dialogue with is simply not smart enough to understand our point of view. Obligated to the consideration that we do not have the right to tell someone... Sign in to see full entry.

Whatever happened to alien abductions?

Back about 15 years ago, alien abductions were at their peak. Those pesky little aliens seemed to be grabbing people while they slept in their beds every second day back then. Taking them to the mothership, subjecting them to medical experiments, wiping their memories of the event clean, then... Sign in to see full entry.

My last words about Creation Science

As I mentioned in my last post on this subject, researching Creation Science makes me concerned for humanity. The authors of the bible had no knowledge of the atom, the microscopic world, pre-historic earth, DNA, or any of the other things that we have come to know in modern times. Yet there are...

We are doomed

In doing a bit of research for my last post one thing became abundantly clear; our species is doomed. Destined to defeat its own survival with the overwhelming desire for their to be a God. A being that has communicated with just 1/3 of the earth's populace through the scribblings of primitive man.... Sign in to see full entry.

Creation Science Evangelism - what is it?

I guess we should never be surprised at what people are capable of in their efforts to reconcile irrational beliefs with a rational world but the "Creation Science" folks take the cake. Is there a more obvious oxymoron than the words "Creation" and "Science" used together in this manner? The... Sign in to see full entry.

Your beliefs will change as you mature

If an individual can acknowledge that they still have a lot to learn, that they do not have all of the answers and that the beliefs they currently hold are subject to some modification over time, to me they are on the right path. Life is a journey of discovery, if you will forgive the cliche. When I... Sign in to see full entry.

You missed a good blog war - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Okay, maybe it wasn't that good, it was more like a typical blog war. In the past I have let these things get out of hand upon occassion simply for the entertainment value. How they quite often propel blog rankings upwards doesn't hurt either, Sometimes that is even more entertaining, especially... Sign in to see full entry.

Eliminating meaningless phrases from our language

In the past little while I've had an experience here on Blogit that I would guess few other members have had to deal with. That is, a handful of other members, devout religionists the lot of them, now after insulting me just about as much as they possibly could, want to be my friend. I have no...
