Fear Not Public Educators
I saw this bold proclamation recently: “Those who attack public education fear an educated public.” As someone who regularly “attacks” public education I will testify that I’m not even a little bit afraid of an educated public. I’m trying to educate the public to the fact that public education (i.e. government schools) is not the […]
Get Kids Interested In Reading: Ban A Book!
Banning books is a great way to help your kids to develop an interest in reading. Nothing motives a person to read like telling them certain books are off-limits. You should tell your kids to stay away from the Bible. Gather up the Bibles in your house and lock them in a box in the […]
Who Wants To Be A Dictator?
The benefit of becoming an iron-fisted dictator is that it simplifies relationships. Interacting with people is a series of trade-offs unless you seize power over everyone in your vicinity. If you are unwilling (or unable) to completely dominate the members of your tribe then they will eventually behave in a manner that displeases you. When […]
Elon Buys Twitter and Saves Us All
Elon Musk bought Twitter and it’s sad that we care. There are people living on the Earth who have never composed a Tweet. They have never been shadow banned. They don’t know how to ‘troll’ another person. Their political and religious views have never been published. Their well being is totally detached from the ‘responsible […]
On Fire for Climate Change
A climate change activist lit himself on fire in front of the Supreme Court. It seemed odd to me at first to protest global warming with a stunt that puts so much extra carbon into the atmosphere, but then I read that the guy was a Buddhist and that helped me understand (a little bit). […]
Give The Satanists A Classroom
Apparently, the Satanic Temple is suing an elementary school in Pennsylvania because they weren’t allowed to start an after school club. Some parents were outraged. Some school officials were worried. And the Satanists are happy that someone is paying attention to them. Satanists are just atheists who figured out that atheism isn’t cool anymore. Twenty […]
I Do Spiritual Direction
A guy I know who claimed to be a Christian for a little while (and even officially identified as a ‘Pastor’) is now offering something he calls, ‘spiritual direction.’ If you message him, he will set-up an ‘exploratory phone call’ which I assume has something to do with searching caves for treasure chests but I […]
Let’s Doom The Next Generation
Do you think it would be a good idea to teach children that smoking cigars is good for them? Starting when they’re in Kindergarten, we tell kids that tobacco is full of vitamins and the best way to get those vitamins is to roll the leaves into tight cylinders, light them, and inhale the smoke. […]
You Going Back This Sunday?
Well, Easter is over. Hopefully, you attended a church service that made a good enough impression on you that you’ll go back sometime, maybe at Christmas. I hope the people at the church were friendly but not so much that it was awkward for you. I they made you feel welcome but didn’t invade your […]
Your Kids Are Terrible
“As parents, our whole job is to facilitate, to protect, and to love our children. It’s not to tell them what to be or how to live.” – Person who is the primary influencer of some young humans. LOL! These are the words of someone who hasn’t spent any time around children. You formed your […]
