  • Thought Suppression

    What was, isn’t. What will be isn’t yet. All we have is now and that is where your mind should be. To avoid unpleasant memories, concentrate on another memory, or concentrate on the present, where you are, and the things going on around you. A delete function is unavailable, and so, unpleasant memories must be…

  • A Struggle for Power … September 26, 2020

        Religion has wanted to gain power in the United States since the country was founded. Now after over two centuries they have come to a point where they believe they can seize power. They have a President who is willing to risk the country in order to establish a dictatorship by using religion as a…

  • 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.…

  • For Heavens Sake, God, Get Out of the Way…. August 1,2020

    Prayer is not only useless, it is dangerous. Believers pray to god to have some wrong made right, or some favor, maybe even a miracle to be done. Someone who believes there is an all mighty entity watching over them and protecting them feels better after prayer and goes about their business, making no effort…

  • Do Not Fret Your Life Away… July 23, 2020

    What a great racket. Invent a threat and offer another invention, a cure. The original threat is death. They offer everlasting life in paradise. If you don’t accept their offer you spend an eternity having your skin burned off… again and again and again. The original threat was death, no one invented that threat, and…

  • 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…

  • Mind Boggling Time… November 3, 2019

    Numbers, big numbers… are difficult to imagine. In your mind you can imagine ten people standing in a row… maybe a few more, twenty, thirty… but then when you get up to say one hundred, envisioning a hundred people standing in a row is more difficult. The concept might be grasped, but the vision, the…

  • Show Me!!!!

    Show me where liberals are any more tolerant than conservatives. Show me…. I don’t see it. Both groups have certain qualifications for membership… believe what they believe or get out…. that is the way people are everywhere. Groups are the problem, the disease,  the need to belong is the vector.

  • Absence of Evidence is Evidence of Absence in the Case of Gods… July 29, 2019

    From the perspective of fact, that is logic and reason, there is no evidence of the existence of any entity that can be called god. Some like to think of nature as their god, yet, nature is simply there, a “natural” occurrence and is indifferent to life. Nature cannot be thought of as an entity.…

  • Talking to the Christian Hand… July 9, 2019

    Christians have in no way proven their god is real. Muslims have in no way proven their god is real. Jews have in no way proven their god is real. (Insert any belief system here) have in no way proven their god is real. If you want to buy a house do you go to…
