God's Chosen people - does this include you?

I feel very fortunate to be living amongst Christians of every denomination. They are, after all, on the list of God's chosen people. It has to be a list these days; as the old list, with just the Jews on it as taken from the bible, didn't work. Someone, probably in a monastery somewhere sipping... Sign in to see full entry.

We can fight the Muslim extremists with love

Yeah, that'll work. Where I'm not about to suggest that we begin bulldozing all of the mosques on North American soil, I am suggesting that what we are doing in regards to the war on terror, just ain't working. Anyone watching the news last night and specifically the story about the attempted... Sign in to see full entry.

What are the chances?

Currently there are around 2 billion Christians on this planet, or to use rough figures, about 1/3 of the Earth's populace. But you can only use these figures if you are not a Christian. This is so because if you belong to any of the Christian sects, you are taught to believe that members of the... Sign in to see full entry.

Who amongst us has no faults?

Everyone except me apparently. That's a bit of an exaggeration, it's not everyone... just a select few, a handful of people that personify duplicitousness. As in being two faced, as in speaking about people in disparaging terms to others but not having enough of a spine to say the same things to the... Sign in to see full entry.

Okay Odysseus - you asked for it

This is how you began your last comment to me "Gome, I have not attacked you, only offered my hand to you in friendship." Excuse me while I have a little laugh break here. "I simply checked into blogit and found you still calling me names, and I have not even been on blogit for about eight months!... Sign in to see full entry.


Proving that God does not exist

If there is one thing that I would not waste a second of my time on; it is attempting to prove to others why I think that their God does not exist. The key words here are: "....why I think..." as in it is only my opinion, there is not one amongst us that can prove anything about the existence of an... Sign in to see full entry.

Trying to see the other viewpoint

I am trying to see what the Muslim world sees in their support for Hezbollah but I can't get past the fact that they picked a fight with Israel. It is important to make an attempt to look past our own propaganda in an effort to support the right actions on behalf of our governments, if they do in... Sign in to see full entry.

Popularly held misconceptions

If there is one thing that all human beings are guilty of in varying degrees; it is the propensity to adopt and adhere to ideas that if given just a bit of thought or investigation, would prove to be false. However, for a number of reasons, many of these erroneous ideas never have their validity... Sign in to see full entry.

Some girls are spun from sugar and spice

Some are just spun. These hot summer days remind me of my primary school, which was without exaggeration; a little different than most other schools of its day. We were in the clutches of the insane people, wards of a catholic mission and residential school. The school administrators, completely... Sign in to see full entry.

We heard you the first time Mel

Instant a$$hole,......just add alcohol. How impressed are you with Mel Gibson and his recent mental meltdown during a DUI arrest? First off, the man can't drink worth a darn. A.012 blood alcohol level doesn't turn most people into raving idiots. For a man of his approximate body weight, that would... Sign in to see full entry.
