Utilizing school shootings for religious agenda

I really had to think twice about writing this post. The mix of concerned and abhorred emotions we all feel after we hear of another senseless school or public shooting tragedy was however, eventually overcome by another completely different revulsion. The propensity of religious folks, in this case... Sign in to see full entry.

Humans with magical powers

I am amazed at how many people I run into in the 21st century that ascribe so much weight in their discernment to the supernatural and the pseudo sciences. It does stand to reason that in any group of human beings there will be some with heightened, or well developed cognitive abilities, but to so... Sign in to see full entry.

Rude email from other bloggers

If you can imagine I have had all types of email contact since I have been here on Blogit. Most of it is of the polite variety concerning further discussion of a subject of mutual interest. I've had one poor deluded (and apparently near sighted) young lady proclaim her undying love for me. Some of... Sign in to see full entry.

Where did your blue eyed Jesus come from?

It is rather surprising how many people on this planet are willing to accept as fact the notion that a Galilean Jew, had sandy blond hair and blue eyes. In all likelihood, Jesus Christ looked a lot like the people that we refer to today as Palestinians, he was born in that region after all.... but... Sign in to see full entry.

The Blogit Wreckers

Fortunately there have not been a great number of bloggers on this site that have ruined it for others, the site's overall survival bearing testament to this. In any format where the site relies on user contributed content, the "wreckers" have to be far outnumbered by the "contributors." I'd be... Sign in to see full entry.

What does spirituality mean to you?

Of all of the words bandied about on this forum, the words spiritual or spirituality, though used extensively, are probably the most vaguely defined. It is fair to say that most people do not have a complete comprehension of what these words mean. To most people, they are synonymous with religious... Sign in to see full entry.

Are you socially retarded?

Amongst all of the philosophies, plans, ideals and wishlists for mankind that we are routinely subjected to, there always seems to be an element of impracticality (to be diplomatic). Sentences prefaced with "if only" as in; if only mankind would begin doing something or acting in a certain way that... Sign in to see full entry.

An open letter to knucklehead

Or should that be chucklehead? We see that you are at it again, oh promoter of all that is just and good. We know that you prefer the snivelling coward route of making your half baked ideas known and that you are incapable of acting like a real man but for the sake of treating you as a human being,...

Learn to read English dammit!

We've all had this experience in this forum. We write a post clearly qualifying our statements, backing our contentions with solid facts or reasoning, then some chucklehead comes along and reads something that is clearly not written, stated nor implied in our posts and runs with it. Recently I wrote... Sign in to see full entry.


Backstabbing bloggers should be shot and peed on

Is "peed on" a nice enough way to say it? No? Then change the wording back to the commonly used phrase if you feel it appropriate but first let me explain... I've been on this site for 4 years or so now. In that time I have had many a discussion with persons who do not see things as I see them. As... Sign in to see full entry.
