Blog DescriptionAttempting to provide a different perspective on the things that we have come to accept and believe but this time around with a much mellower tone. Make no mistake however, patience with the bible lobotomized, (or those rendered dysfunctional by any holy book for that matter), is still in short supply. All I would ask anyone to consider is this; we all have a penchant to default to the notion of respecting the beliefs of others, my first response when someone tries to play that card against me is always the same . . . "you first"

Monday, March 3, 2008What does it take for you to block someone?Over the time I have been here on Blogit and since the blocking utility was added to this blogging interface, I have used it 5 times in total.

The image is one that should solicit our compassions for the plight of our fellow man and it is safe to say...

The prince of the underworld, foil of God, enemy of all that is good, representative of all that is bad and an employer that never pays his bills. Hey, I've been told that I am working for him more times than...

The Pilgrims landed on the shores of North America with the Geneva bible, since that time...

It becomes particularly tragic when this is done to promote and proliferate a perspective that not only...

Through a crude formula of counting the number of stars we can see from Earth and dividing by a guess as to how many planets revolve around each star and further dividing...

I am instead speaking of inspiring the posts written by others in reaction to what they have read in this blog (and of course a few other blogs)....

The vast majority of health...
