Men writing poems for men?

Excuse me if I am a bit old fashioned but I think that when a grown man writes a poem and posts it online for another grown man.... that the bread hasn't quite risen yet. Like come on, where it might be argued that anyone who spends an inordinate amount of time blogging needs a life, there is no... Sign in to see full entry.

Talking to myself for 25 years

I've mentioned before that I was in Iran as a fresh faced budding oil executive just prior to the fall of the Shah. That was 28 years ago, the islamic revolution that eventually usurped the Shah's regime was building momentum, I was there just a few months prior to the hostage crisis. The islamic...

How to be an effective bible thumper 101

After reading far too many agenda laden posts written by fervent believers attempting to advance whatever it is they are trying to collectively promote (besides our destruction of course). I figured that maybe they should start with the basics: Not completely embarrassing themselves when they wander... Sign in to see full entry.

The inner quality of people

Hang around this category on Blogit for awhile and inevitably someone will subtly suggest, imply or downright state in no uncertain terms, that those who do not believe in God cannot possibly possess the inner qualities of those who do. What an incredibly retarded thought process, regressive in the... Sign in to see full entry.

The creator of all

It really doesn't matter at what point in history that a person were to visit the human experience. At any juncture in our development as a species, the notion of an all powerful creator being was/is a belief held by the majority of those who are of the human race. While the names, dates and places...

Hands off - it's sacred - nice try

If there is one card that is constantly overplayed by religious folks, it is the "hands off because it is sacred" card. As in don't criticize us because we are servants of God and you're not and we will get extremely upset and go crazy if you look at anything we say or do objectively. It doesn't...

When Jesus returns.....

I think it is a safe bet that a man who has been dead for 2,000 years isn't coming back but to suspend reality for a moment, let us just say that he is coming back. The question would then be where would he make his appearance? Maybe an even better question would be; what do you think his chances of... Sign in to see full entry.

The little little people

They are smaller in their words and deeds than the little people of this world, they are another class of "little" unto themselves.......and they do have class, lots of class,.......unfortunately all of it is low. Sorry but that is my take on someone who would drive the proverbial knife into your... Sign in to see full entry.

Are you capable of leaving it alone?

All of us can be guilty of finding ourselves in meaningless conflicts while here on Blogit. Some are more prone to this than others in that they weigh in on a subject with a comment without regard to what reactions their words will propagate. Emotional responses quite often add fuel to the fire and... Sign in to see full entry.

The rest of the world? . .who cares?

Reading the contributions to this category over the past few years by primarily American bloggers, a couple of things become crystal clear. There are many people that speak of religious issues on a global scale who have never set foot off of this continent, there are also a surprising number of... Sign in to see full entry.
