An equitable social contract

I've often stated that one of the proudest days for me as a Canadian was the day we legalized same sex marriage in my country. It was a clear case of the majority putting aside their inherent prejudices to act on behalf of a minority. In a truly democratic system and if a country is intent on... Sign in to see full entry.

My favorite funny comment of all time

"GomeDome, Please Leave the Country" "Pack up your bags, and get out of the US. You do not belong here. Our country was founded on Christian principles, and freedom of religion. You want a Communist atheist nation where Christianity is outlawed and banned. Totally unconstitutional. Go move to China... Sign in to see full entry.

Where did Satan come from?

I received this pearl of wisdom in comment recently: " The sad fact is that you are deluded. Satan is a very real being, and you have absolutely NO proof to show that Satan is a mere invention."... you can guess from who. What are they teaching kids these days? Actually and as a matter of fact,... Sign in to see full entry.

The Creator of All

It really doesn't matter at what point in history that a person were to visit the human experience. At any juncture in our development as a species, the notion of an all powerful creator being was/is a belief held by the majority of those who are of the human race. While the names, dates and places...

My latest Blogit battle

Contrary to claims made by others, it is not very often that I will initiate an argument in another blogger's comments section. Almost all of the conflicts of differing opinion that I have been involved in have taken place in my comments section, usually in response to a rude or incredibly stupid...

Acceptable behaviour from religious folks?

It doesn't take long when posting to this category here on Blogit until one realizes that the most ill behaved of site users are those who are fervant believers. Not all believers are ill behaved but it is fair to say that there is no other identifyable group that contains more people that will... Sign in to see full entry.

Proof of God's existence - needs a little work

Nearly as often as I have someone in this category suggest that I am of canine ancestry, I have someone attempt to "prove" to me that a conscious, all powerful creator being referred to as God exists. Invariably the "proof" comes in one of three forms. There is observation or experience of the... Sign in to see full entry.

Do you know your Jesus?

I am constantly amazed when those who profess to be Christians know nothing of the origin of their religion, its history or of its central icon in Jesus Christ. Of course they will defend this ignorance by saying things such as: "Many know about Jesus but very few truly know Jesus" or some variant... Sign in to see full entry.

Another one of God's mistakes?

Back when I was a little brushcut knucklehead, like all other little children in my school, I sat and listened to the nuns describe what where to them eternal truths. I had questions however, it's not wise to ask nuns questions, especially if they cannot answer them as they always seem to resort to... Sign in to see full entry.

Many of you are screwed on Judgment Day

According to some people; we will all have a judgement day, we will stand before God, or kneel before him as some prefer, to have our eternities determined by how we conducted ourselves over our short human lives. We will be judged on actions from life spans that average 78.6 years in this part of... Sign in to see full entry.
