  • Biblical Morality… December 4, 2016

    →Christians claim that morality originates from god. They also claim that the Bible is the perfect word of god (at least most fundamentalists do). →Morality as presented in the Bible is not seen as moral today. Exceptions that are moral seem out of place among the others which most definitely are not. →Most all “Christians”…

  • Open-minded to the Point of Absurdity… November 27, 2016

    The cry is often made for “open-mindedness”. Usually made by those with a perspective which they wish to spread. By making the plea they hope to decrease the resistance to whatever issue or world vision they wish to promote. This endeavor is quickened by creating a ready and malleable as well as receptive gallery. Some…

  • The Hopelessly Flawed Organism … November 20, 2016

    Humanity as a whole does not care enough. They do not care about each other sufficiently. They are selfish. Most live for the day but not for the tomorrow. Greed brings the exploitation of the world’s resources. Irreplaceable commodities are being depleted without care for the future and instead for the profit that might be…

  • The Cheapening of Our Moment in Time… November 13, 2016

    Looking outside my window into the street I see a squirrel on the curb opposite of mine. It stops momentarily as traffic cruises by as if by freezing in place it might make itself invisible. Afterwards it turns, its big tail swishing behind it, and it continues to scout, gather, and presumably store. It exhibits…

  • Life Before Gods… October 30, 2016

    Life begins without gods of any kind. It is only later that either parents or acquaintances introduce the concept. Children are expected to listen, to learn, from their parents the ways of the world. Unfortunately, children do not possess the tools to analyze the data presented. They are naïve and do not expect their parents…

  • Society’s Double Standard… October 23, 2016

    Scenario One: Melody sits concentrating on typing data into her computer. It wasn’t her first choice for a job, but all the sanitation jobs were filled by men. As she types her friend Janice walks in her office, looking backward into the adjoining office, obviously hoping for a private chat. “Melody, I have some news…

  • The Arrogance of the Politically Correct and SJW Crowd… October 21, 2016

    There are those who think they know what is best for society. For the most part these people are of the naïve sort. They decide how they would like society to be and work to make it reflect it. It doesn’t matter what they fallout, how many must suffer, they feel that society must change…

  • Omnipresence… Proof of God’s Non-existence?

    The Bible says that god is everywhere. Jeremiah 23:24 “Can a man hide himself in secret places so that I cannot see him? declares the Lord. Do I not fill heaven and earth? declares the Lord? Job 34:21 “For his eyes are on the ways of a man, and he sees all his steps. Proverbs…

  • Whose Goo Got You?

    We should have suspected something, there were plenty of clues. Trees, vegetation, animals, all were clues we should have seen. Trees would disappear overnight. A forest would disintegrate as Rangers watched. Howling from the forests was heard world wide as animals were seen running and dying, falling into a mass on the ground. We thought…
