Welcome To The Asylum
Hi! My name is John. Since we’re roommates in this asylum, I figured I would introduce myself and check to see if you’re as bonkers as the people in charge. Oh…you didn’t notice the leaders are nuts? Yikes! That means you agree with the current Supreme Court candidate that it’s not possible to define the […]
My Most Recent Hypocrisy
“Nobody is perfect.” That’s a comfortable phrase for me to say whenever I screw up because it’s vague. I say it hoping it will pass for humility. It is actually NOT an admission of any personal flaws; it is a blanket accusation of mankind. I’m pretending that I’ve uttered something profound when all I’ve done […]
Hard Hearts Are Not Happy Hearts
It’s understandable that you want to avoid getting hurt. There are some ‘toxic people’ moving around in the world who will abuse you whenever they get the chance. Only a lunatic would advise you to keep hanging around people who knock you down. I am not a lunatic. That being said, sometimes you need to […]
Triggers for Empaths
A long time ago when mankind was primitive and ignorant about many things, there was a group of people that became known as ‘Gnostics’ (that first ‘G’ is silent). The Gnostics claimed to have knowledge of secret things that wasn’t available to ordinary people like me. This ‘secret wisdom’ was the foundation for many religious, […]
God Made Everyone. What’s your point?
If you’re making excuses for behavior that is awful enough that you’re making excuses for it and one of those excuses is, “God made me this way,” then you better brace yourself. This is going to sting. God made everybody. He made black, white, red, yellow, orange, purple, and all the other people colors. He […]
Some Things Shouldn’t Be Explained
Today, boys and girls, we’re going to learn about, “gaslighting.” When someone tries to make you think that you’re insane or out of touch with reality, it is called, “gaslighting.” There are lots of ways to gaslight a person but today we’ll just use this meme as our example. First, you need to know that […]
Bully Your Kid Before Someone Else Does
I grew up in a neighborhood full of boys. I was 12 years old before my sister was born and she was the first female anywhere in the vicinity. As you might imagine, all those boys together created a very toxic, masculine environment. There were simply too many boys for an individual bully to handle […]
Why Should Your Kids Have To Learn To Hunt?
Suppose your kid’s Kindergarten teacher likes to hunt. Would it be acceptable for that teacher to teach your kid how to gut a deer? Maybe read from a book called, “Guns Can Feed Your Family.” Perhaps the class would take a field trip to the woods to check the teacher’s traps. Would it be alright […]
More Me Time for You
As a Christian, sometimes (like, every 5 minutes or so) you will need to choose between biblical teaching and what has come to be known as ‘self care.’ Experts in biology, psychology, and sociology agree that your well being requires a certain amount of self care. Experts in propaganda, deception, and manipulation agree that no […]
Skepticism Is Not Critical Thinking
https://fb.watch/bImIwssO8s/ Here’s a short video by three skeptics attempting to convince you that skepticism makes you smarter. All three of these guys are devout atheists and I agreed with almost everything they said…except for the premise that skepticism makes you smarter. Bill Nye suggests that it’s difficult to change your worldview when presented with evidence […]
