Making money selling God

An enormous business on the internet is found in the commercialization of all things Christian. All manner of web sites are to be found and amongst them, many a good domain name. Most of the good domain names have been taken, especially those that incorporate widely searched terms but if a person... Sign in to see full entry.

What do you respect most in people?

I am forced to say that honesty in an individual is the number one criteria for me but not just the ability to distinguish fact from fiction. Objective honesty, where an individual is able to look past initial emotional influences, their own ego and other concerns of self interest or agenda to... Sign in to see full entry.

A dead guy nailed to some boards

I cannot think of a more inhumane way to execute a human being than crucifixion. Just about anything else from hanging to beheading would be a better way to die. It is horrific in the sheer agony the victims must have felt in the days when this form of execution was in practice. In these realities... Sign in to see full entry.

Eliminating the gateway to fear

I've always wondered why people allow themselves to have fear of the spiritual world or the paranormal. Once it is accepted that all human experiences of the supernatural and/or the paranormal are derived entirely from the human mind, this realization establishes an avenue of plausible explanations...

The Power of Prayer

There is one conclusion that inescapably must be drawn from seeing so many people of all denominations attending their various churches around the world regularly, it sure makes them feel good about themselves. They do really believe that they are forming in a group to demonstrate worship for, and... Sign in to see full entry.

If I had to choose a religion . . . . ?

To hear some people tell it, God the Christian version, is not only the one true path to heaven, it is also the only thing that will save us as a species from ourselves. These same people have even gone on to the next level of "reasoning" or extrapolation from this idea, in further insisting that... Sign in to see full entry.

Where do your morals come from?

I was watching a round table discussion on CNN a few days back, I know, I gotta stop doing that. The participants were discussing all of the things that the Christian right would like to impose on the rest of society. The old and tired issues of prayer in the schools, creationism as a scientific... Sign in to see full entry.

Back at number 1 where this blog belongs

Ha ha ha ha...... I don't actually think that any blog "belongs" at number one in any category. With the ranking system utilized by Blogit it really is a case of may the best blog win. I say more power to anyone who can build and sustain a readership in the ever fluctuating membership dynamic of... Sign in to see full entry.

What more can you tell people?

I still see people on this site talking amongst themselves (and with more than a little bit of disdain I might add) about those who do not believe that their God exists. Invariably, the discussions have several ludicrous elements, nonemoreso than suggesting that other people in this world "choose"... Sign in to see full entry.

A question I would really like answered

How does the passage of same sex marriage legislation threaten the sanctity of the institution of marriage in any way? I have asked this question in one form or another a few times here on Blogit. So far; I have received some vitriol, some disjointed logic and a few tenuous slippery slope arguments,...
