Orgy of loneliness

July 16, 2008

I am often accused of being controversial for the fun of it.  Sometimes, I am.  However, often as not, I am just writing from the heart and my heart is, I guess, full of controversy.  If you are so offended by controversy that you cannot read something controversial to the end, please don’t read this, [...]

God, what a meal.

July 8, 2008

A cynic, a compassionate atheist, a pragmatic Christian, and a fundamentalist Christian, all received an invitation to God’s banquet.  The cynic got there first, wanting the satisfaction of proving its non-existence before anyone else did.  He was disappointed to find a beautiful table set for four and full of all sorts of beautifully presented and [...]

My last self-discovery blog for a while, I swear.

June 21, 2008

So the other night, my wife and I stayed up late talking.  First, we talked about the choice I make everyday to ride my bike to work or not.  Usually I do ride it, which means that I ride 6 to 7 miles there, then back at the end of the day.  I don’t always, [...]

Least anyone accuse atheists of not being religious, I give you, direct from Pope Leo the Tenth…
“Oh, what profit that Galilean fable has brought us.”
He was also a practicing homosexual.  Who says catholics are are closed minded!

RELIGIOUS belief can cause damage to a society, contributing towards high murder rates, abortion, sexual promiscuity and suicide, according to [...]

A letter to God

March 20, 2008

This is not a flippant thing that I am about to do. I think a lot of people who care about me are really confused about what I believe, so I am going to give you all a view into a letter to God that I am sincerely writing as well as [...]

What’s the freakin’ deal, God?

February 22, 2008

Once, many years ago, I fell head-over-heals, stupidly, destructively in love. I thought that the object of my love was the young woman with the thin, silver glasses and blue eyes, but alas, it was the idea that she represented to me and not the girl that I loved. I’d sold my life to [...]

Reading the Bible isn’t making it more clear, its confusing me more.

February 19, 2008

I make this clear sometimes in my blog. I don’t hate Christ, I just hate the multimedia politico-religious for profit enterprise that predominately Christianity. I am reading through the Bible right now, cover to cover and I have made it as far as the Gospel of John. Now no person who [...]

Depression sucks almost as much as anti-depressants

January 3, 2008

Depression sucks. I’ve struggled with it my whole life. I hate saying I was suicidal, though I was. I hate saying it not because it is embarrassing to admit (It doesn’t embarrass me at all. I think a lot more people should be suicidal, actually. Their lives are totally pointless, [...]
