Polygamy - why it will become legal

When I hear someone arguing with the tired old refrain of marriage being between one man and one woman, there are two things that they are making abundantly clear. They do not have an historical or cross cultural perspective of marriage and they are assuming that marriage is always a matter of...

If you are really dumb - this is for you

While surfing the internet, you will inevitably come across viewpoints that seem to be well crafted contentions, are articulate and well written but are in reality a facade. A well written article who's substance is so shallow that it barely conceals its less than honorable motives, which is of... Sign in to see full entry.

My last post on this subject

About the last thing I want to do is invite the emotional hysterics of the ill informed as they clutch at straws in attempts to defend the catholic clergy from child molestation allegations. In my last post, I made a point of attempting through my digust and disdain, not to demonstrate my inevitable... Sign in to see full entry.

The realities of molestation by priests

Every time a pope steps out of the Vatican to show his face somewhere in the free world, the subject of child molestation by priests surfaces as a topic of discussion. When it is considered that only a handful of persons investigating for the Vatican, including their treasurers and their legal... Sign in to see full entry.

Keeping an open mind

I wish I had a nickel for every time someone has stopped into this blog over the years, suggested that I open my mind to all possibilities, then began spewing traditional ancient religious dogma as if it were fact. An open mind I contend, should not lead an individual only as far as blindly... Sign in to see full entry.

Jesus came to me - He did I tell you!

The God squad is speaking to me again (whether I like it or not). They decided they had experienced enough of my skeptical presence a few Easters ago, when I suggested Christ's body was not resurrected from the dead but merely stolen by his fervent followers. That suggestion was enough for them to... Sign in to see full entry.

Religious agendas ain't doing us any favors

There is currently a trend unfolding within North America that has adherents to the Christian religions performing a great disservice to our societies. In the process of attempting to advance their agendas, much misinformation is disseminated. Some of it so blatant that it can only be described as... Sign in to see full entry.

The existing double standard

At the risk of sounding exactly like a common practice that I despise, I'm gonna bitch about something that I feel is unfair. The only difference between my bitchin and the common practice is that I don't subscribe to imaginary things, nor do I have an agenda to proliferate. I just want to tell a...

The marvels of the world around us

Most people I have ever met in life ascribe at least some credit to a God of some sort for all that exists around us. Though I am not one of those people, this in no way diminishes the awe with which I view nature. Living on the edge of a city near a large tree stand, I see a few more furry critters...
