Are you aware enough to have doubts?

A little while back I had one fervent believer begin leaving comments on my postings that indicated that I was completely full of manure (not exactly the word he used). This may actually be true but this possibility aside, the entire premise of this person saying this to me was because he "knew".... Sign in to see full entry.

How accurate is religious history?

Whenever discussing the events that took place as chronicled in religious doctrine so many hundreds and even thousands of years ago, the reality is that we have almost no idea of what really happened. It matters not what side of the globe you live on, it matters not what religion is the subject of... Sign in to see full entry.

Are you willing to give up your beliefs?

Over and over and over again we hear of a notion of a one world religion. Of how establishing common parameters in a universal belief system will magically draw mankind together in a never before seen cooperative of love and peace......it's a nice idea but.....this isn't magic pixie land. This... Sign in to see full entry.

He has a "Popemobile" does he also have a "Pope Cave"?

A few months back the world's number one king of living in denial sounded off about all that is wrong with Canada. Yep, Pope Benedict decided to set us straight with his wacky version of how the world should be. Specifically he addressed the issue of homosexuality and some imaginary connection that...

Demanding Respect

I have always found humor in the idea of those who would least respect the rights, opinions and religious freedoms of others, decrying that they are being denied these things. As if because they simply adhere to a religion that is widely distributed, that there are two sets of rules. "Don't assume... Sign in to see full entry.

An Ethical Challenge > > >

There are two types of people that I have little patience for in life. Those that are insistent on judging others entirely by their own religious beliefs and those who justify wrong actions simply because those actions are technically not illegal. We've seen the former too often here on Blogit. Some... Sign in to see full entry.

Do you have to include me in your craziness?

For the most part, I am happy to let people believe whatever they must believe, whatever gives them comfort or helps them through the day. It wouldn't occur to me to include the unwilling in my beliefs, nor do I feel anyone has the right to impose their belief system on another. So why is it that so... Sign in to see full entry.

This question is never answered adequately

In the past I have put forth a simple question to those who insist that salvation and eternal life is only found through Jesus Christ and that all those who do not accept Jesus Christ as their Lord will suffer eternal damnation. The question being: What happens to those who never heard of Jesus... Sign in to see full entry.

I was temporarily possessed by the devil today and I took a picture of him

Yep, I was driving outside of town today along a strip that is littered with a variety of those fast food outlets. You know the ones, the usual suspects that cloister on the outskirts of just about every city in North America. There was your Mcdonalds, your Burger King, your Wendy's, your Harvey's,...

When religion and culture clashes

A recent posting here on Blogit reminded me of an incident that took place way back when I was in grade school. Grade 7 to be precise, we were all little brushcut numbnuts just beginning to comprehend the birds and the bees. "Beginning" is the operative word, information on the subject of human...
