I've ruined this category single handedly!

That'd be me, professional category ruiner.......The truth of the matter is if that were the case, (if it even were possible for one individual to ruin a category), I would not continue doing what I am doing. Unlike so many others, a surprising number really, I have a basic grasp of how this site... Sign in to see full entry.

Hands up if you hate Christians

I don't imagine that there are too many people sitting at their computers while reading this blog with their hands up. There may be a person or two that does have a negative bias towards those who claim to be Christians and is a member of this site. In all honesty, I would have to include myself in...

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.

Bible thumping loonies needed

I never thought that I would say it but the discussion of matters pertaining to religion, religious belief and the behavior of adherents to religious belief, has become a little boring. Where I am grateful to all of those who stop by this blog on a regular basis to add to things that I have posted... Sign in to see full entry.

Yesterday I went to one of those family get togethers that make me want to change my surname....no not really but I did have to endure the religious ramblings of two entire families. My mother headed up the charge for the catholics, my brother's mother in law was the first in command for the... Sign in to see full entry.

Pixies, Fairies, Goblins and Leprechauns

Every mature culture on this planet has some form of folklore that includes the magical little people of the forest or a similar type of manifestation. Though the credence of the existence of these elusive creatures has eroded dramatically in conjunction with the ever broadening knowledge base of... Sign in to see full entry.

Pending baby boom in Florida, USA

Right at this very moment near Naples Florida, a university campus, with the ancillary infrastructure and a small town are being built. There is nothing unique about this on the surface but this entire endeavor is a little different. It is a catholic university and the town itself will be presumably... Sign in to see full entry.

Those Dogans and their birth control

The issue of birth control and the catholic church is a sore point with me. Growing up in a religious community that had entirely too many extremely large and extremely poor families, will do that to a person. Where we are fortunate in living in the wealthy western societies, where we can choose how... Sign in to see full entry.

Blogit has the best quality crazy people

If you ever thought that the handful of chuckleheads we have had to endure here on Blogit, in the religion and spirituality category, were some kind of special fruit loop......you really need to see this. HERE These folks have a huge advertising budget for that web site (I know this because I got... Sign in to see full entry.


The hypocrisy of religious adherents

We seem to always be willing to point out the hypocrisy of those who are adherents to the Christian religions. It has been my experience that hypocrisy is a human condition, it is exclusive to no group or individual. We also tend to think that because Islam has a small extremist element, that the...
