For Justi - - - an attempt at some clarification

The following quote was the lead in to some fairly courteous discourse with Justi (yes it can be done). I will be as fair (as I always try to be) by stating that this is only a portion of a comment by her. The few lines that I am using are mildly taken out of context but I will stay within the...

Homosexuality - a great blog title?

One of the catch phrases used by fundamentalist Christians to justify their muddled thinking is "Love the sinner, hate the sin"...as if this is possible. One of the most acrimonious subjects of debate where this catch phrase is applied routinely, is in dealing with the subject of human sexuality and... Sign in to see full entry.

Are you happy with yourself?

Or possibly a better question is simply; are you happy? We've seen all kinds of people come and go in this cyber community over the past few years. From the wannabe writers to the wannabe messiahs, the entire spectrum of human confidence has been displayed for us. There have been those who are ultra... Sign in to see full entry.

Have you ever had rude email contact from bloggers?

If you can imagine I have had all types of email contact since I have been here on Blogit. Most of it is of the polite variety concerning further discussion of a subject of mutual interest. I've had one poor deluded (and apparently near sighted) young lady proclaim her undying love for me. Some of... Sign in to see full entry.


Another question bible thumpers can't answer

This should not be a surprise as it seems that inherent in being a fervent believer, many questions must remain unanswered. Recently I railed against those who would flippantly use one of the bible's most pathetic catch phrases "The fool has said in his heart that there is no God ". A fair question... Sign in to see full entry.

I don't knowingly preach hatred - do you?

One of the things I find absolutely beyond comprehension in the behavior of fanatical adherents to religion, is how they routinely promote hatred of a group, certain individuals, or even entire countries in some cases. We are all aware of the ever increasingly aggressive rhetoric being preached... Sign in to see full entry.

Canada catches terrorists - now what?

Like what the heck do we do with a bunch of loser terrorists?...and these guys are definitely losers. Mostly in their late teens and early 20's, there was one member of this group of 17 in his 40's while 5 were minors under the age of 18. Surprisingly, they are all Canadian citizens with a few born...

Do you stand behind idiots simply because they share your beliefs?

I've often wondered what those who stand behind the words of Pat Robertson are thinking? Clearly the man has come up with some of the most remarkably stupid statements that could possibly be expected from a person that is a public figure, yet he has his supporters. Do these people not see that a... Sign in to see full entry.

Not so Intelligent Design

Yet again the old and very tired chestnut of Intelligent Design (creationism) being taught in the schools alongside of other origin theories raises its ugly head. Under attack specifically is the theory of evolution. In recent years we have seen religious groups intent on having their way, lead an... Sign in to see full entry.


This blogger is annoying as heck

Gone are the days that I will write anything, for any reason and rely entirely on my brain to spell words properly. As of today, June 5/2006, I am using the spell check feature when posting blogs, just like everyone else (or at least they should be). I tried to live without it, considering the use...
