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"

Friday, June 22, 2007Why atheists are better people than believersAs I mentioned in the last post, all of the atheists I have met so far in my life are honest and caring people with an inherent sense of integrity. I cannot say the same about all of the believers I have met, not by a longshot but it must be noted that the numbers are disparate. I haven't met that...

I have yet to meet a one, this cannot be just a coincidence. Yet time and time again we see opinions voiced that are intent on...

Let us not forget equally important sentiments such as "resentment" and "annoyance" which seem scattered throughout the anti-Christian camps in equal portions. I can begin trying...

Collectively we have been conditioned to believe that a belief in God makes an individual a better person, while non belief is somehow a direct result of...

Despite claims from some of my detractors to the contrary, I have never supported the notion that people who believe in God are stupid. These people have utilized the...

I hear this incredibly lame catch phrase bandied about by some people that are otherwise fairly intelligent and wonder how they can buy...

Well, yes they can actually, Christians, Muslims, Hindus or whatever religion an individual proclaims to be an adherent of, know no more about what awaits us after we die than...

I have also learned that there is no correlation between a belief or a non belief in God and the ability to discern right and wrong. This is something that I have known for...

I cannot vote on who I think is the best person for the job but as a resident of Canada, I will be influenced in a number of ways by who the eventual winner may be. Watching the Republican...

Imagine for a second that the events as depicted in the bible never took place. Do you think it possible that the scenarios as described back then would be as... Sign in to see full entry. |
