  • NO KINGS DAY OCTOBER 18,2025

    Richland county Ohio’s No Kings day went amazingly well and very peacefully. Several hundred people were in attendance carrying various signs proclaiming “No Kings”, as well as many other pro-America, anti-Trump messages. I only observed one possible intruder for Trump, and I’m not sure he was either. Nevertheless, there were still Trumpies afoot. One of…

  • FEELINGS CANNOT BE IGNORED. MAY, 4, 2025

    As you progress through life, you gain experience. At some point you reach a plateau; it is inescapable, and that plateau becomes you. Everything is viewed and judged by those attributes present in the plateau. You can try to change, but you find eventually that the changes are superficial. They are like a front. It’s…

  • The Monster Among Us. 240623

    Its purpose is promised good. Its dictates are passed from parents to child. It is touted for teaching moral behavior, yet all it has provided is grief. Like a virus, it perpetuates itself, spreading like the disease it is. Thinking itself is the victim of this malady. Good becomes evil, evil becomes good in its…

  • The Arrogance of Believers is Astounding… September 9, 2020

    So, Christians have a god they consider perfect… omnipotent, omnipresent, and omniscient. All powerful, present everywhere, seeing and knowing everything. Also, this God personally cares about you. By perfect I suppose it is meant perfectly good, moral, and caring. Totally powerful, meaning nothing, nothing at all can occur without this God’s desire that it happen.…

  • IT’S NOT ME… July 06,2020

         It’s everywhere… it really can’t be avoided. People have no respect for others. They laugh about it, think it’s the mature thing. I see morons. Empty heads, speaking without thinking. I wonder if they do it in front of their parents? Their supervisors? In front of gray haired grand ma-ma.      Ease up man…

  • How Do Humans Commit Murder?… June 29, 2020

    Empathy is a quality possessed by most humans. It varies in strength from human to human. Some have a lot, some not so much. There are some humans who seem completely devoid of feelings for others. As in the animal kingdom, there are those who are willing to share, and those possessed by greed. Sometimes…

  • THE GRAND OLD PARTY…

          Is this what the GOP has become? Is it now to be a branch of the KKK? Is it all about white supremacy? Is it a party of racists, bigots, and Christianity?      Have you seen the kind of people who are proud to wave the MAGA banner, proud to display signs promoting Trump/Pence…

  • Misanthropic Tendencies… Source… November 23, 2019

  • Black or White, On or Off…

    Fundamentalism is not restricted to religions. Anyone that deals in absolutes is a fundamentalist. If they say: “You are either for us or against us” … they are fundamentalists. Such black and white, on or off absolutes are the domain of fundamentalist thinking… in their world there are no grays, no part way, there is…

  • The Concept of Goodness… May 28, 2019

    As atheists we sometimes overestimate the inherent goodness of human beings. It seems we suggest that if only religion were eliminated that a kind of utopia could be established. What we need to recognize is that though the concept of goodness may be within humans, humans do not inherently possess the quality. In fact, that…
