  • Unwarranted Frustrations… July 2, 2017

    Feelings… human feelings, that’s the problem here. I am experiencing increasing frustrations in my dealings with humans. They fail to see the logic of my arguments. It seems they deal more in feelings than logic. Why should this cause me ire? Their opinions, their positions on issues do not affect my positions. I do not…

  • If My Avatar Reflected the Truth… June 25, 2017

    The avatar that I use is that of a machine. That does not mean I am a machine. I often desire that, but alas, continue in my present form. However, if I could be a machine, then I might make a better atheist in the eyes of many non-believers. If I were a machine I…

  • Centrist… June 18, 2017

    A centrist is neither right nor left. A centrist holds positions ranging over the spectrum. No two centrists are the same. Centrists cannot be part of a group because a group requires homogeneity.

  • Becoming an Extraterrestrial Without Going Anywhere …… June 11, 2017

    In just a few short years human society has been altered by the politically correct pseudo-progressives and various other factions into something with which I am incompatible. Forcing society into accepting abnormal as normal and normal as abnormal, supporting rights to same equivalent to what used to be for normal. Society has been corrupted beyond…

  • Again and Again Until the End of Time… June 4, 2017

    From time to time I feel the need to restate my stances on religion and atheism. This is probably a reaction to the continuous stream of proselytizing in the media, the internet, and Facebook in particular. The individual exposed to the constant barrage of those urging one to adopt this or that belief system cannot…

  • Gawd in the Schools…. May 28, 2017

    Many Christians bemoan often, too often, that Gawd has been taken out of the schools. By this they seem to mean that religious instruction and rituals have been forbidden for the administrators of school systems. The error here is clear. The melting pot that is the United States is a mixture of people from around…

  • “Dear Humans” …

    Why is it permissible for small groups that have been designated disadvantaged (however that is determined) to spit racist epithets and take racist actions? Liberal circles usually remark that race is a construct, that we are all just humans with minor cosmetic differences. This evidently only applies when it serves them. At other times they…

  • Cap’n, There Be Morons Among Us … May 14, 2017

    I find it difficult to care about the human species any more. However, there is something that must be said about the morons residing amidst the general population. These morons are those individuals that consider laws and rules as not applying to them. For them there is no pedestrian crossing to observe, no stop light,…

  • Collateral Damage and the Butterfly Effect… May 7, 2017

    Idealists want to change the world into some imagined utopia. Like many imagined things, these changes often do not translate well in the real world. Many times the idealist will think that if they change one aspect of society than everything will be alright. They fail to consider how connected things may be. If you…

  • Why Religious Fundamentalists Should Never Hold Public Office…

    Although they do not hold to a religion and many consider themselves atheists I include among the religious fundamentalists those on the radical far left that hold to ideologies of many kinds. The main reason I object to these fundamentalists holding office is that they do not serve the people. They instead serve another master.…
