  • I’ll Pray For You! …………. April 10, 2013

    I am presently reading Michael Spry’s book No Santa, No Tooth Fairy, No God: The Need to Challenge Faith in America. He reiterated a point that I have often made as to why friendships break up when religion gets in the way. There is a need in the faithful, mandated by their beliefs, to spread…

  • An Open Door ……………. February 11, 2013

      The door is open a crack. Granted it is only a very small nearly imperceptible crack. This means the door is not locked. That which is beyond the door could push its way inward, inward into your thoughts. The door is the door to your mind. That which is outside, in this case, is…

  • Why Doest Thou Bother Me? ….. January 2, 2013

    I suppose the answer to this question is clear. Why do christians (yes, I am aware that I did not capitalize the word christian) proselytize? Christianity in and of itself is a powerful mental virus. It can make its adherents do some very strange things, we must admit. As a virus it has the need…

  • Peaceful? The Heck They Are!

    Islam claims to be a religion of peace. As we can see from the reaction of its followers to a movie critical of Islam, made in the U.S., peace has very little if anything to do with Islam. Both Islam and Christianity, as many have come to realize, have always been and continue to be,…

  • Modern Christianity’s Newest Attempt to Separate Itself From It’s Bloody Past

    Christianity’s culpability in many wars and atrocities is well documented. From the Crusades to witch hunts and from its utilization in the motivation of a peoples toward war, Christianity’s  involvement is unquestionable. Yet, in the face of this evidence there are those today who wish to excuse Christianity, to disavow its involvement. Religion has been…

  • The Fascist Agenda

    Two previous Blogs “American Fascism is Alive and Well” and “Resisting Fascism in Your Hometown” expounded on the intrusion of the fundamentalist Conservative Right into the public schools using the vehicle provided by a 2001 ruling of the Supreme Court which provided a backdoor for religious proselytizing, thereby violating the separation of Church and State.…

  • Who Goes There?…………………March 19, 2012

    “Who Goes There?” is a book written by John W. Campbell, Jr. and copyrighted in 1948. This is basically a story about an alien creature and it’s ship that crash landed in the Antarctic  around 20,000 years ago, and the subsequent discovery of it in 1948. Using thermite, the hapless humans managed to destroy the…

  • Modern Times; Christian Behavior

    I have been writing a blog for several years. I have written them thinking that there were some basic commonalities between the differing groups of Christians. Well, there are some, many in fact, but some of my assumptions were wrong. One of the assumptions I was mistaken about is that all Christians absolutely loathe non-believers,…

  • The Fundamental Problem

    A battle is being waged for the minds of Americans. The battle is between religious fundamentalism and reason. The fate of the United States is not the only concern at stake, the future of the world is being decided. There are two types of Christianity…(actually there are hundreds of differing cults)  fundamentalists, adhering to a…

  • Why Do People Invent Their Own Religions?

    Initially religions were invented to explain those things in nature for which primitive humans had no explanation. Earthquakes, weather, and other natural occurrences were not within the control of humans. What caused them? When the concept of cause and effect developed in early humans they naturally assumed there was a cause for every effect. There…
