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 . . .

An insurrection led by the king of the bad guys Satan and his army of hapless bad angels.

"more than 50% of US citizens believe in creationism". Where there is no doubt that he was saying this matter of factly without any form of applause or criticism,...

Where it is by definition an absolute, in that there should only be one truth, in reality, like beauty, it is in the eyes of the beholder. Over my time on Blogit, which is now going on 6 years, I have met many a person that has claimed that they were looking for "truth"....

Sometimes wildly entertaining, most times dripping with a caustic hostility and almost always a full blown demonstration of their appalling ignorance on the subject. Ignorance is hardly an...

It might be too much a generalization to say that those amongst us who are insistent on quoting less than credible...

Where many a festering fundie dreams of the complete integration of church and state, without a doubt, they have no idea just what it is...

In my reflection upon not so long ago, when it was commonplace to receive 40, 50, 60 or more comments, I also could not help but remember an ugly incident from back then. An...
