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"

Sunday, September 9, 2007Line em up and empty their pocketsA few years back I remember being engaged in a conversation with an individual concerning the practice of speaking in tongues or the phenomena properly described as "glossolalia". It seems he had been at some hallelujah meeting somewhere and every one was falling down on the floor doing the...

Nearly 4 years of reading putrid nonsense from a handful of people who's singular vision in life is to prove to themselves that their retarded perspectives are somehow clever and insightful. Yep, I went against my better judgement and stopped in to read a blog that...

This is sad and pathetic but irrefutably true. Any variation of the...

This post has nothing to do with the comedian who is now experiencing success with his hit TV show: "Are you smarter than a fifth grader?" But...

Life is a journey of discovery, if you will forgive the cliche. When I...

Phrases such as: "Evil doesn't like that...." or "Evil hides amongst the good people..... " so on and so on. The word "evil" is primarily an adjective, it is merely a word that is used to describe...

I am continually astounded by what feeble liars some people are, or as is the case quite often how subtleties in the use of the English language completely escape some people. To speak in...

Of course I am only joking, it is better to use a ballpoint pen instead of a...

We've discussed the "rapture ready" people in the past, there are a number of variations of this incredibly...

It isn't serious disdain, it's not like I have anything against them other than what they have against me. That being their penchant to not so subtly imply that they are somehow more worthy of being saved by some flying... Sign in to see full entry. |
