Hating on Love
Love. I hate it. The word, I mean. Misused and overused. Love regularly gets recklessly shuffled into shopworn statements. It’s used to proclaim everything from affection for human beings… …to fondness for fruit salad. We could learn a lot from the Greeks. Firstly, they invented gyros. Secondly, they had multiple words for Love. We ought to do that. Use the word, […]
Forbidden Love Confessed
The following post will expose raw emotions. To avoid being confronted with uncomfortable truths, stop reading now! You find yourself inexplicably attracted to someone… …do you tell them? …What if they’re married? …What if they’re a gorilla? A real gorilla. But not just any old gorilla… …THIS GORILLA! He lives in the Tokyo zoo. His name […]
Why I Don't Want Planned Parenthood To Receive Tax Money
My reply to the guest blogger’s post. Quick reminder: This is only applicable to professing Christians. Bible verses aren’t effective against hardened hearts… …it says so in the Bible. (Matthew 13:14-15) Your solution must be found in secularism. Like Stalin, Lenin, Mao and Pol Pot… …you determine your own morality. “Sin” is the invention of religious people to gain power over […]
Guest Blogger Response to Demonizing Abortion
In a recent post, I was accused of being mean and insulting. The offended individual asked for a chance to clarify his Pro-Planned Parenthood position. Ever eager to allow opposing viewpoints to be heard, I present Chris Gursche’s guest blog post below. ——————— Dear John, [that sounds so terminal. Is it? Things are rarely what […]
Are You Famously Wearisome?
Shakespeare said, “All the world’s a stage…” My high school English teacher didn’t tell me that The Bard… …was talking about Periscope. Put this app on your phone and it’s always showtime! You can broadcast every moment of your life! Every dull, uninspired, insipid moment of your life! Periscope is the high-tech equivalent to yelling… […]
Demonizing Abortion
Here’s something I saw on a friend’s Facebook wall yesterday. You can read the article here if you want to. Or, if you’ve got a functioning brain, you can just read the headline… …and consider the source. I’ve hidden my friend’s identity because I’m so blasted tolerant, kind and loving… …that I feel a burden to […]
Saturday School #3
Antony Flew was arguably the most prolific atheist writer of our time. He was a champion of atheistic thought. His stream of atheistic philosophy spans almost half a century. He used to be cited frequently in the works of fellow atheist authors. But no more. Antony fell from grace. Prior to his death, he issued […]
Be A Genius Without Knowing Stuff
You agnostics. That’s quite a racket you’ve got going. Selling abject thoughtlessness as intellectual superiority. Your most profound and compelling truth statement is, I don’t know. Which isn’t exactly true. You do know at least one thing… …I am wrong. I believe God exists. And nobody can know for sure. So you point it out to me. You can’t be certain […]
Flaws of Fundamentalism
** Wrote this last year. Reposted it because I remembered how awesome it was… ** Dogma. It’s not what a puppy calls its mother. It’s religious doctrine that’s held without proof. For example: …the belief that there is no God. Relativism. It’s not government by your relatives. It’s dogma. The belief that morality changes relative […]
What Manner of Evil?
Week 4 Recapping last week. If you take organization to mean ‘a pattern’, then there are lots of examples in nature. If you take organization to mean ‘a house rising from a pile of bricks’, then we’ve not seen it yet. I find the need to be VERY specific about terms quite tedious. You non-theists […]
