The Best Thing I’ve Read This Week
Let me be clear. I am nothing special. Awhile back I asked God for wisdom. Because He’s good and keeps His promises…he gave me some. I’m not on par with Solomon. But I’ve got more than enough wisdom to confound heathens. The following exchange took place on a blog that has blocked me from commenting. […]
Why Does A Perfect God Listen to Prayers?
One of my resolutions for 2018 is to stop offering thoughtful responses to thoughtless people. I’ve been encouraged to “give my thoughts” on various blogs only to have those thoughts ridiculed, derided, and misunderstood. I’m tired of talking to dopes. Here’s a dopey post from a dopey blog: I’ve been blocked on this particular blog. […]
Doubt Flew Away
I don’t believe atheists exist. I’m serious. Saying, “I don’t believe in God” is easy. Believing there is no God is difficult. Atheists are intellectual contortionists. They twist words like “faith”, “belief”, “design, “science”, and “religion” into meaningless blobs. They demand evidence for truth that rational people just assume. Ultimately, this is what […]
Women Voices and Sitcom Complaints and Peoplekind
Peaches and Tabby join me and we leave it to you to figure out which one is talking. Luke gives me some frothing activated milk and it’s generally alright. I gripe about character arcs on sitcoms because I have unrealistic expectations. Peaches wrote about “people first” language so of course, we talk about that. Tabby […]
Turn Strangers Into Toxic Relationships
You are in a relationship with everyone else on Earth. We are all related because we occupy the same planet. We are all the same species. The majority of your relationships are not chosen by you. Most of your relationships are shallow and superficial. In fact, you don’t even know the other person in most […]
Don’t Be Afraid to Be A Doormat
You see things like this all over the place. What’s your problem with doormats? The doormat is the most selfless object in the household. It takes the filth from footwear for the good of the wall-to-wall carpeting. Without that doormat, the carpeting would be a wreck. If you don’t expect dirty shoes to ever […]
Logical Fallacy – Ad Hominem
Don’t dismiss people just because you don’t like them.
Some Stuff That Needs Saying About A Horrible Preacher
So you’re reading John Pavlovitz. Why? Oh. Those are good reasons! You should have your reading comprehension checked. Nothing Pavlovitz has ever written could be described as compassionate, loving or encouraging. You must still be working your way through “Dick and Jane” books. Here’s a reason to dismiss Pavlovitz that doesn’t require you to be […]
Baby Silas, Turbo Plays Piano, Skeptical Retinas
This Episode – Baby Silas makes his appearance! We go to the hospital because Peaches had a baby! Grandma Turbo tells us about why she doesn’t play the organ in church and helps us mispronounce some words. We invent a game “Sermon or Sphynx” that will probably sweep the nation. We try to figure out […]
Religion Is NOT Incompatible With Science
Frequently, I cite articles written by humanists/atheists/heathens/pagans/fundamentalists. I got up on the wrong side of the couch today and lack the resolve to slog through that godless drivel. Today, I treated myself to an article written by someone who isn’t an idiot. Over at Shadow to Light, I found an article on the subject of […]
