Blog DescriptionAttempting to provide a different perspective on the things that we have come to accept and believe but this time around with a much mellower tone. Make no mistake however, patience with the bible lobotomized, (or those rendered dysfunctional by any holy book for that matter), is still in short supply. All I would ask anyone to consider is this; we all have a penchant to default to the notion of respecting the beliefs of others, my first response when someone tries to play that card against me is always the same . . .

To back their claims; they invariably produce examples chronicled in the manner of this web site: HERE...and a good number of those bleating about this supposedly widespread...

Where it differs from terms such as "non believer" or "atheist" is in the fact that it carries with it more of a negative connotation than other references. "Godless", or the state of being without God is used to describe anything from heinous actions...

As his following grew, so too...

A couple of days ago kidnykid reminded me of the story of the 1968 Virgin Mary sightings in Egypt.
