Religious knuckleheads are "Left Behind"

Last evening I caught a bit of the TV series "Left Behind"... wow, how do they get away with airing such crap? The series of books, the TV series and now the games based on a Christian fairy tale, with Christians as the target consumers of this franchise, has gained an incredible momentum over the...

I want to share my faith with you

I always wince when I hear this statement: "I want to share my faith with you".. Most times it is used as a defence for someone being an insufferable religious numbnut who has usurped the word "share" as a means of justifying their arrogance and lack of consideration for the beliefs of others. When... Sign in to see full entry.

Has your faith made you a Simpleton?

The definition of a Simpleton: A person lacking intelligence or common sense. Further expanded to include those persons who are incapable of comprehending anything but the simplest of concepts.

The world's first pyramid scheme

I just cannot fathom how someone can look at something that is to me so glaringly obvious and not see what I see. The concept of original sin is a good example. Is it really possible that an all caring, all loving, omnipotent creator being holds a grudge eternally for an insignificant and all too... Sign in to see full entry.

Sweet Chocolate Jesus

My Sweet Lord I have to admit that upon occasions, I watch Anderson Cooper on CNN. Fantasies of Kitty Pilgrim aside, he is about the only person they have on that news network that I can tolerate for any period of time. Most times it is a story with entertainment value that catches my interest. None... Sign in to see full entry.

Some people get their educations from the movies

For the most part and as citizens of North American societies, we are barely cognizant as to what extent our thought processes are influenced by our ever present entertainment mediums. TV, the movies, music blaring on our home and car radios all serve to bombard us with storytelling, poetry, a... Sign in to see full entry.

The scam of Exorcism

Hands up anyone that knows of someone who has been possessed by the devil? The reality is very likely that you do not know anyone first hand, second hand or any hand, that has suffered demonic possession. It always seems to happen to someone in a situation where it is impossible to verify, in... Sign in to see full entry.

Escaping the cult - a true story

Back when I was a mere pup of 20 years old, I was certain that I knew everything, all you had to do was ask me and I would make that point abundantly clear. I was also and as most young people are, fertile ground for a new and revolutionary concept, in this case I was recruited by a full blown cult.... Sign in to see full entry.

Satan's smarter brother "Stupid"

It seems that everyone knows who Sylvester Stallone is but most people have to think for awhile to come up with his brother's name. He does have a younger brother named Frank who toils in relative obscurity in the entertainment business. Frank is not anywhere near as successful as his elder brother...
