The Animal Rights Hoax
Have you ever been lectured by a vegan? Don’t answer yet! Let me define the term, ‘Vegan’: Vegan – vee-gun: Individuals who see themselves as morally superior because of what they don’t eat. It’s a mistake to think about vegans as merely ‘people who don’t eat animal products’. When you do that, you’re omitting the […]
College Kids Are Too Stupid For This
I sort of remember when colleges taught useful stuff. Didn’t people sometimes say colleges were ‘institutes of higher education’? Or did I imagine that? When I was in college there was a mandatory class called, “Freshman Orientation”. The class was predicated on the idea that college students are morons. In orientation class, I learned things […]
They Don’t Want You To Know This About Shakespeare
Everything you know about William Shakespeare is a lie! He didn’t exist. William Shakespeare is a fictional character. I have evidence that he did not exist. By that I mean, I have no evidence that he did exist. Same thing. A quick perusal of reliable, historical sources (Wikipedia) should convince you that I’m right. (Unless […]
God Finds My Daughter (Again)
Here’s a testimony from one of my kids. It’s a strange thing to read coming from her. She’s very settled, rational, and sensible. This testimony borders on insanity. She doesn’t say stuff like, “God spoke to me” very often. Neither do I. It’s a dangerous thing to attribute our own thoughts to God. It is […]

Why Fundamentalists Should Fear Science
The greatest evil ever foisted on mankind is Untruth. Falsehood never results in joy. Falsehood always brings darkness, suffering, and death. But not right away! You tolerate untruth because it kills you slowly. Lies are not lobotomies. They’re a slow growing cancer that gradually turns your mind to mush. Every day that you keep lies […]
Jesus Doesn’t Welcome Sinners
The internet allows knowledge to spread quickly around the world. The internet allows stupidity to spread just as quickly. Actually, stupidity spreads faster than knowledge. Acquiring knowledge requires a little effort. Stupidity soaks in by osmosis. Osmosis will teach you that Jesus was inclusive. Stupidity raises no questions about statements like this: “We know Jesus […]
The Evolution of Evolution
Biology, philosophy, mathematics and ‘Evolution’ are not friends. You wouldn’t know that unless you occasionally read things that aren’t atheist drivel. I feel kinda bad for Evolution. It started out as a simple, happy-go-lucky theory about life on Earth. But as it aged, it got cranky. Evolution is now a wrinkled curmudgeon shrieking at other […]
