So what is the point?

It doesn't take long before we, as members of Blogit, realize there is no point in being frustrated with how others act and react in a public forum, the actions of others are completely out of the control of any individual. But still one can't help but be a little dissapointed that certain erroneous... Sign in to see full entry.

Lordy Lordy it's a miracle!

In all of the dubious efforts that those who believe undertake to convince themselves that the power of God is ever present in our daily lives, none is so tenuous as so called miracles. This all powerful God that a lot of folks believe in, seems to use an awful lot of his time performing... Sign in to see full entry.

Realities that no one can refute - but they still do anyways

I've mentioned before that of all the atheists I know in real life, not one fits the mold of the negative detractor from society stereotype that is proliferated by some religious folks. Not one, I have never met this scourge of society and I don't think it is just dumb luck. I have also mentioned... Sign in to see full entry.

How much nonsense must we take from Christians?

If we all can agree that as members of a free society, we have inalienable rights to pursue our own individual life goals, there must be a framework within which to do this. In the USA it is the US Constitution, in Canada it is the Charter of Human Rights and Freedoms. I am constantly amazed at how... Sign in to see full entry.

How healthy is your religious message?

Recently, I had someone ask me what it is that I have against the folks that believe we are currently in pre-tribulation times. The "pre-tribbers" as they are sometimes called, believe that Jesus will return and take them up to heaven while the rest of us smucks destroy ourselves in a horrible war....

If women ruled the world, there would be no wars

This was a popular catch phrase thrown around in years gone by and one that most people actually believed to be true except for one little glaring problem. If you were to list the names of the female heads of state up to that point in history, which included Helen of Troy, Cleopatra, Indira Ghandi,... Sign in to see full entry.

When Atheism rules this world

Though I don't consider myself an atheist, I have found that it is just simpler to refer to all non believers as atheists. Some of the believing folks around here have enough on their minds without having to actually consider the degree of belief of others. Hells bells, some of them are still...

Standing before God

I wish I had a nickel for every time I have had to listen to some simpering knucklehead blather on about how I will get what I deserve when I stand before God. The fact that I do not believe an omnipotent creator being exists as a conscious entity capable of presiding in judgement over us, doesn't... Sign in to see full entry.

Do you use foul language in front of children?

There are plenty of folks that are willing to outline for us just how we should all conduct our lives or behave, so you do not need me to do this. But having said this, just like everyone else on this planet I have opinions on how I think others should conduct themselves. I will even admit to quite... Sign in to see full entry.


Gee . . I didn't know that?

I didn't know it was possible to not believe in something and "hate it" at the same time. You would think that a person who clearly states that they do not believe in a traditionally defined conscious creator being would not be accused of hating that being. There is no logical way to bridge the two... Sign in to see full entry.
