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 . . .

Monday, February 18, 2008The Jesus MythWhen I first began studying ancient mythology some 30 years ago, one of the things that surprised me somewhat was that not one word of the life and times of Jesus Christ was written that was contemporary. Not a single authentic word is to be found about the life of a man who would best be described...

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....

Invariably the converting atheist is a lettered man, usually having a doctorate in one of the science disciplines. This same story...

For example: how many times have you heard someone say "this country was founded, built and made great by following Christian values." then a few short breaths later say something to the effect of: "this...

I'm of course speaking of conversion but more specifically the fallacy that it is a...

They had a list of historical figures who "proved" that Satan sometimes got lucky and...
