Watch out for that there "Evilution"

Mysteria dropped a link in my comments a couple of days ago to images of a car some joker dolled up to make his case against fundies: HERE (he must not know about blogging) One of the bumper stickers on this ridiculous looking vehicle reads: "99% of people that deny evolution can't even define...

The pure entertainment which is Blogit

When reflecting on all of the comments left on this blog over its approximately 40 month existence, one can't help but laugh. All comments fall into a handful of categories. There are those who actually read and discuss the post, leaving comments relevant to the post subject. This ultimately is the... Sign in to see full entry.

The Jonesville Monster

Our family moved back to the southern part of Canada during a time of great uncertainty and trepidation being experienced by the area's inhabitants. It seems that a monster of some sort had been spotted in a wooded area outside a nearby small town called Jonesville. There was no doubt that something... Sign in to see full entry.

Who doesn't love being called a pig?

Ya gotta just love when people retreat to their biblical catch phrases as a means of defending their porous arguments. During my time here on Blogit I have seen the same scenario develop more times than I can count: Bible thumping knucklehead jumps into discussion with their brainwashed two cents,...

Manifest Destiny as a religious concept

The origins of the term "Manifest Destiny" is attributed to 19th century American journalist John L. O'Sullivan when he wrote in reference to the annexation of Texas: (paraph.) "... God ("Providence") had given the United States a mission to spread republican democracy ("the great experiment of... Sign in to see full entry.

A message to atheist bashing chuckleheads

It doesn't really matter at what time in the history of Blogit one chooses, be it a period from 3 or 4 years ago, or today, there will be some bible toting chucklehead attempting to vilify atheists in an almost comical fashion. I say "almost" because it is more pathetic than it is funny but when... Sign in to see full entry.

What's your view on Health insurance?

Living in Canada, the words "health insurance" is almost a foreign phrase. Not entirely mind you, as there are a few instances we run across, primarily involving international travel, where we are forced to consider purchasing additional coverage but for the most part we never think of it. Our... Sign in to see full entry.

Hell really exists and I can prove it

A little while back an individual arrived here on Blogit who was intent on proving to us all that hell is not only real but that "witnesses" can attest to its existence. Long used metaphors for heaven and hell have been the sky above us and beneath the earth respectively. The "heavens" becoming... Sign in to see full entry.

It's not easy being so popular

Over the years that I have been here on Blogit I have demonstrated that I have a fairly thick skin. Normally, I only become offended when someone pulls a weapon or is intending offence. And it is a good thing too, as I've had poems written about me on several occasions and posts that definitely fall... Sign in to see full entry.

Let's "cure" all them gays

Jumpin Jesus there are some knuckleheads in this world. I was watching a debate on TV awhile back between some religious leader and some poorly armed civil rights activist moderated by an equally ill equipped host. The religious leader jumped into using all of the people they have "cured" from being... Sign in to see full entry.
