  • Compromise Is Impossible… March 15, 2017

    I have written about the human tendency to form groups or camps in the past. Each group has its own set of ideologies… even those that claim to be ruled by reason and logic. This is why there is so much turmoil in a society that is “multicultural”. Compromise is impossible. There is no solution…

  • The State… March 12, 2017

    The Fallout of Feminism Women will not want to be wives. Women will want careers. They will want children too. They may expect men to fill the role they abandoned, but they are mistaken. Men will still want careers… that will not change. The concept of family will disappear. The only solution then is for…

  • Spring… March 5, 2017….

    The Vernal Equinox is on March 20 this year. The March equinox marks the moment the Sun crosses the celestial equator – the imaginary line in the sky above the Earth’s equator – from south to north. Pagan celebrations of Eostre, aka Ostara, Austra, and Eastre, is thought of as the origin of the celebration…

  • Insufficient Information … February 26, 2017

    Arguments about the nature of the Universe… is it caused, uncaused? Does the Universe have a beginning or has it always existed? There are arguments for any of these positions. Biased arguments are presented by theists. Those arguments always include a god, their god, as a cause. There is presently no evidence of gods. Dismissing…

  • Compatibility… February 19, 2017

    Compatibility is an issue. The issue is not just related to compatibility between devices of software. Compatibility is important between human relationships as well. Ideas and habits, viewpoints, as well as those interacting with each human are important considerations. Sometimes incompatibility issues arise between humans due to long term lack of contact. Other times these…

  • Darwin… One of My Favorite People… February 12, 2017

    Darwin is one of my favorite people from history. Despite not knowing anything about genetics, very little about DNA, nor about antibiotics and how they drive  bacterial evolution and nothing about the many mass extinctions that have occurred… he was right about how natural selection pressures populations of creatures to change.     https://youtu.be/PxvpZQAR8lo https://youtu.be/hOfRN0KihOU…

  • Some Truths… February 12, 2017

    A Few Truths About Me I am an atheist. I make no secret about it. I do not go forth near and far to shout it, but if it comes up I will not deny it. In light of the many gods imagined by humankind it seems the only logical conclusion that not all of…

  • The Spokesperson… February 5, 2017

    The almighty, most powerful god of the universe… able to hear the pleas of even the most remote… sees the sufferings of the smallest sparrow… cannot speak to you directly. Why does god, the most high, need an intermediary? Why does god the most perfect, most powerful, need someone to act as a go between……

  • The Puppet Masters and the Puppets… February 5, 2017

    Is it possible for a human to live a life free from manipulation? There are uncountable sources of manipulation. To prepare for resistance to all of them would be a monumental… possibly impossible… task. From the ad for the Golden Toasties for your breakfast table to the carefully arranged meme on Facebook… the goal is…

  • Lay Your Bets… January 29, 2017

    There are many different systems of belief for a deity. Within each system there are separate divisions consisting of variations of that system. Furthermore, there have been and continue to be many radically different imagined gods. While there are some individuals claiming there are many roads to god, each person claims that the god of…
