Inhuman Bondage Book Review

I just finished reading Pulitzer Prize winner David Brion…

I feel disgusted. You probably do too.

I watched this week's episode of Bill Moyers and Company with their guest, Marty Kaplan (found here: http://billmoyers.com/episode/full-show-big-money-big-media-big-trouble/).

In it, Marty Kaplan said; "People say they know it's a con, just as they say that they are not being swayed by the ads for products that they see on television. If…

In the past decade more than 100 million people have left the Christian Church, but that has not stopped conservative religionist from trying to force their point of view into public schools. Since Texas passed its “prayer bill” in 2006, numerous “Bible Belt”…

When I think of religion, sometimes all I can feel is anger and betrayal.  I think of all the years that were wasted as a child and all the questions that I asked that were answered by lies.  I was taught that religion is supposed to be this wonderful truth that will unite the worthy beyond this life, but it's far more corrupt than I could ever believe.  Religion has sought to contaminate and destroy the history of our world, the only world we have ever known and replace it with a dark and…

My alternate title for this piece was "You Don't Know Jack," but it would be such a reach, so, I said it plainly. Occasionally, a Christian or two chooses to debate me about the Bible and of course I leave them asking themselves why they chose me to debate. It is not that I am a great debater, rather, it is that they know so little about the Bible. As long as we speak of the Bible itself as far as content, they manage to hang in until the discrepancies, autocratic behaviors, sexism…

Edit: I didn't name this? I are dumb.

Now before you jump down my throat I'm not saying it's bad, the original trilogy is good for the most part but it is not the gold that people seem to view it as. There are many good parts but there are bad parts as well.

I know someone will say in response to some of my criticisms: "in the novelisation ..." I don't care. I doesn't matter what the novelisation says, the movies are what matter, not the novelisations of the movies. Another…

I tried to get out of the church of England/Anglican Church.  I was told it was a gift and there was no get-out.  Some gift.

Now, I am very serious about leaving this organization so absurd.  Anyone have any ideas?  Anyone ever come up against this foolishness?

I have been a practising atheist all my talking life.  My Mum and Dad just got me baptized like all the other kids had been.  It was not their fault, they wanted no trouble with the…

Umm, really the whole book was quite worth reading.

I just want to share the summary of the interesting chapter nine.

God is not great-chapter 9

(The Koran is borrowed from both Jewish and Christian myths)

Observation and thoughts derived from the book The God Delusion: Chapter 10, Dawkins wrote the statement that 96 percent of the population of the United States thinks that they will survive their own death. If one was to say that should I jump off this 12 story building unaided, after I hit the bottom of the pavement, I will survive that fall. Any reasonable person would have no other recourse but to find the nearest phone and call 911 for emergency services. Because my statement would…

This afternoon I was contacted by Andrea from Lakewood Church. The Houston Megachurch that Olsteen leads. When I asked her about the cost of the ticket. She explained that it covered the cost of paying

for the Scottrade Center employees and various things such as that. I tried to express my view that if this is a message that is good for everyone to hear that provision should be made for making the event

free. Andrea explained that they used to have free attendance at these events…

Looks like newly elected Oklahoma State Senator is getting a real education in foot in mouth disease. Since his editorial has been posted in The Durant Daily Democrat on December 22, 2010 there has been

national reaction in the forums blogs and other places as well. Sadly it

looks like we [none creation people] are going to be the losers in this

battle. If you have been keeping up with my blogs you know that I have

mentioned the idea that those that are faced with facts…
