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 . . .

There is no doubt about it, I'm holier than most people as I have been to church over 4,000 times and all by the time I was 15 years old!

There are a good number of beliefs that are held by large numbers of people that are simply not worthy of any type of respect. Furthermore there are beliefs...

My tongue in cheek insertion aside, being polite is part of the Canadian national identity. Of course we...

"Heads I win, tails you lose" is a Catch 22 but what the heck is a Catch 33? Forgive the...

When it comes to beliefs held by others it is not a simple case of correcting erroneous...

It is my sincere hope that someone somewhere is sitting at their computer with steam coming from their ears. Such is the reward for being a festering religious numbnut.

Why is that,....what is it about human nature that allows the gullible to be led by such hypocrites? Clearly there are two driving forces facilitating the ability of any man to be both considered a prophet by...

Originally it was shut down because parade participants wouldn't keep their clothes on and insisted on engaging in lued, mock sex acts along the parade route. This time around it was a very...
