The Dynamic Duo of Trump and Carson on Religion
It defies logic and probability that all of America’s political leaders are people of faith, yet none espouse their lack of faith publicly, particularly those seeking the Republican nomination for the highest office in the land. I always enjoy the early campaigning in the political cycle because we get to see people mount an effort […]
Truth in Politics
The government has actual regulations designed to protect consumers and create transparency around what is likely the biggest purchase of their lives. They call it Truth in Lending, and it’s ironic that our representatives can legislate honesty into business, but can’t seem to legislate it into their own business. I’m often reminded of a frequent […]
The Mormons come calling
For several years at least, I have anticipated being visited by the traveling missionaries of the LDS. I mentally previewed how the conversations might go, and apparently overconfident in my imagination, I envisioned life-altering persuasive arguments that would shake the delusional from their indoctrinated beliefs and into the realm of the rational. Today, the day […]
In the Name of The Lord
With the Supreme Court’s ruling on same-sex marriage, where they followed the Constitution with its guarantees for Americans to have equality under the law, many who are opposed to equality for all often say that God’s law dictates what marriage is supposed to be about. By God, it’s safe to assume they mean the Israeli […]
The Religious Freedom Lie
It has occurred to me that religious freedom, the latest American catchphrase, is not only a misrepresentation, but an oxymoron. First, to the deceptive manner in which it is being employed. Those who invoke religious freedom as a defense for some action they wish to take, or not take as the case may be, seek […]
Think before you commemorate
The ironically named Good Friday is rapidly approaching, and for Christians everywhere it is commemorated as a fairly significant event in history: The day the Son of God was executed as a sacrifice for our sins. As a thinking person, I encourage all other persons to ponder what exactly it is they are commemorating. I […]
ISIS
US HAS NEW PLAN TO COUNTER ISIS PROPAGANDA This was on the television screen at the gym this morning, which I happened to glance at in between sets of bench pressing. There was someone standing near one Washington, DC monument or other talking to the newscaster, but I didn’t hear it or need to. The […]
Pope Francis in favor of physical assault
I’m actually starting to bore myself writing about Pope Francis, but some things can’t be avoided. When the civilized world comes out in support of freedom of expression, and the condemnation of violence done by the easily offended, the leader of the Catholic Church, dogmatically considered the Vicar of Christ on Earth, pronounces boldly that […]
Atheists need to wear hats
I’ve been contemplating ways in which people who aren’t theists can reach the lofty heights achieved by theists in leadership positions. I’ve come to the conclusion that non-theists are spending inordinately too much time and energy making logical arguments, talking about annoying things like evidence, and saying things that make people roll their eyes, like […]
The Religious Killing Fields
I would like to request that all those who continue to spout the meaningless platitudes that religions cause no harm, or that the faithful should be left unchallenged as they are free to believe as they choose, immediately remove their heads from their posteriors. The current and ongoing slaughter of human beings in the cradle […]
