Blog DescriptionAttempting to provide a different perspective on the things that we have come to accept and believe but this time around with a much mellower tone. Make no mistake however, patience with the bible lobotomized, (or those rendered dysfunctional by any holy book for that matter), is still in short supply. All I would ask anyone to consider is this; we all have a penchant to default to the notion of respecting the beliefs of others, my first response when someone tries to play that card against me is always the same . . .

Wednesday, July 5, 2006The natives were happy to receive God's wordThis is another one of those tall tales that religious folks like to tell each other.

But in reality, just what was he saving us as a species from, other than ourselves? With a bigger question being what did his death actually accomplish? If one steps back and examines history...

I was away at college at the time and received a very unusual early morning phone call. It was my elder sister and she was very upset. She had to tell me about a dream...

Why I did it is because the avatar I am using (the little red devilish looking guy) was pointing the wrong way. Yep, when he was in the right hand column, he was pointing...

I've made attempts to find common ground with them, to a great extent and to their credit, they responded in kind at first.

The ideals as drawn from the legendary persona of the Christian... Sign in to see full entry. |
