GodisFree.com is for sale on eBay

In hindsight I really can't tell you what possessed me to purchase the domain name godisfree.com (this link goes to the parking page)....as I don't usually purchase domain names that I could not see myself developing as a web site. It is sort of a rule of thumb if you are going to purchase domain... Sign in to see full entry.


How many times have you been blocked?

There was a time when I was the record holder for being blocked by other bloggers. I don't think this is true any longer as Xeno-x seems to have taken over this title. One thing that I can honestly say is that I have never once been blocked due to my behavior on this site. My being blocked has... Sign in to see full entry.

What I have learned on Blogit

Religious folks have the best selection of built in catch phrases and have a ready made answer for just about every scenario. One of my favorites came to me from another blogger. In his attempts to convince me that Satan was a very real being that we should all learn to safeguard ourselves against,... 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.

I know about Jesus - the poor bugger

How else would you describe someone who suffered such a horrible public execution but as a "poor bugger"? The thought of such a horrific spectacle is something that must draw compassion from anyone. Or at least some sympathy for he and the countless other hapless individuals that suffered the same... Sign in to see full entry.

How would you fare in another culture?

If there is one thing that expands an individual's horizons it is spending time living in, or being exposed to another culture. Mind you, this is not a good idea for everyone, as it is pretty obvious that if some of the contributors here on Blogit ever set foot off of this continent, they would end...

I'm not leaving Blogit until they carry me out in a pine box

At least I hope its pine, this one person I know was so poor when he died, that they buried him in a cardboard coffin......anyways. I often wonder if people really consider the reactions that their words may garner, or what it feels like to be on the receiving end of their callous remarks? We are... Sign in to see full entry.

Are you leaving Blogit? - well good riddance

Seriously folks, if anyone is so frail that they cannot handle a few divergent opinions or the fact that others believe differently than they do, they don't have what it takes to contribute to a public forum. They are probably better off living in a small insulated world with people around them that... Sign in to see full entry.

So what do we do with the muslim extremists?

My short visit to Tehran 28 years ago gave me no special insight into the workings of the muslim extremist mind. Nor did it give me any extensive knowledge of the culture that had fostered such a mind set. What I did take from the experience was the understanding that human beings can be crazier...

I'm gonna save you whether you like it or not!

I can understand why members of a family might want to influence the religious beliefs of other family members. If an individual does truly believe that their particular faith holds the key to salvation, it is only natural that they would want everyone in their family to be saved as well. What I...
