Deluded bliss is bliss nonetheless

......this was a throw away line waiting to become a blog title. I've probably used this sentence 871 million times in my life, though admittedly just an estimate, the real number of times I have uttered these words is up there somewhere. It has a direct correlation with the number of times someone... Sign in to see full entry.

Once upon a time in the land of Blogit

As I have been pruning and deleting old posts from my Blogit account, I can't help but take the occassional trip down memory lane. Things seem quite different these days on Blogit, there is a blocking utility now, many people have come and gone. As I get to the time frame of late 2004 in my editing,...

Will religion rule the world?

The truth of the matter is that we may never know. Aside from the wishful thinking of some of our resident fervant followers of faith, Christianity is not sweeping the globe and soon to envelope it in the warm embrace of the word of Jesus. (that is a condensed paraphrase of the some of the... Sign in to see full entry.

Sometimes you just have to block them

A recent discussion that turned sour resulted in my blocking a second blogger in the time I have been here. The first time I was forced to do this, it was with good reason as the person blocked only wanted to drop childish insults in my comments section, this time around I am making a statement. A...

Bite Me

Makes for a good blog title don't you think? A couple of years ago now, I left a comment on the posting of our resident venerable Pastor and that was the response I got. Another cerebral exchange with this individual. Mind you I did think it quite funny at the time. The comment exchange is below. I... Sign in to see full entry.

Deprogramming Blogit members

They don't actually call it deprogramming these days, the term "exit counseling" is more in fashion. In other words; after a person has been subjected to an overwhelming influence of brainwashing, the exit councilor must find a way to reason with the individual. It can't be an easy job. If some of... Sign in to see full entry.

What do you see?

When you look at a map of the world? Aside from the widely diverse geographical regions, climates, elevations etc., I see lands populated by numerous races, cultures and ethnic groups. Amongst this eclectic mix of peoples are countless religious beliefs. Many people see just one big extension of... Sign in to see full entry.

What about the chosen people?

I often wonder how many people that are adherants to the Christian religions understand that the Jewish people do not believe that Jesus Christ was the son of God. I've had self proclaimed Christians right here on Blogit ask me if I am sure about this, acting as if it was news to them. The First... Sign in to see full entry.

Fear not the end times - Oh Yeah, Really?

If there is one thing that concerns me about the Christian religions it is the fact that their fundamental beliefs have a doomsday scenario. Not in that I actually think that an end of the world is possible at the hands of some fictitious religious entity but more I think it is possible that... Sign in to see full entry.

Yeah but . . . . .

Those that would argue against scientific theories such as the Big Bang theory, quite often use the following type of logic: Nothing material can be created from nothingness. Further expanded: If the Big Bang actually took place as theorized, the very first particle of hyper condensed matter had to... Sign in to see full entry.
