I’m having a day of snark – one of those where everything I want to write about involves some sort of sarcastic response toward ridiculous opinions and viewpoints. Hazards of coming off a couple of sick days, I suppose – I tend to be a little less patient and tolerant.
For starters, in response to the shooting at Virginia Tech the [...]

Feeling Snarky
A Conflict of Viewpoints
Man, I really hate falling under a label that seems to generate so much animosity and antagonism from folks in the scientific community – that being, in this case, Creationist (as opposed to the term ‘denialist’ that is also mentioned). It honestly makes it difficult for those of us who are genuinely interested in the study and [...]

Boing Boing: Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence trike drag (queen) race, SF
I’m linking to this particular article for only one reason. I’ve considered writing about this for a little while now, but this quote was the catalyst:
Scenes like this make me proud to be American.
Popular sentiment, this one. And I suppose that’s ok. America is, after all, a nation [...]
Ever At Odds
I’ve been grappling with my feelings about an ongoing conversations I’ve been watching for the past few days. Long-time readers of this site know that I strive to always be respectful of the beliefs and opinions of everyone who comes here, even when those opinions are very different from my own. As a result I [...]
Rich Theology
At the Men of Purity conference over the weekend, we sang this song.1 I love the words, love the music, love the richness of theology described herein. Take a moment to reflect on the words and to think about what they mean. I don’t know how anyone can read, hear, or sing these words [...]
Respect for What’s Important
If you can’t laugh about your religion or personal beliefs on occasion then you need to take a serious look at what it means to you. You can find humor in any situation.
I ran across this quote earlier today, and it gave me pause. A lot of non-religious folk quip and make jokes (or simply snide [...]
Aside from That
What was posed as merely a curiosity question and an aside1 has become a rather more interesting discussion than I expected it to be – an exploration of the fact that Jesus was probably not actually crucified on a Friday but more likely on Wednesday and buried later that same evening so that he could be buried [...]
Kicking Against the Goads
I mentioned the other day that I had added another atheist blog to my blogroll. Unfortunately, I’m really not sure how long it will be staying there. I don’t have much use for blogs whose sole purpose for existing is to rant and rail continually against only particular cause or organization. I’ve removed several blogs [...]
Voice in the Wilderness
Another atheist blog got added to my blogroll today. Obviously, I don’t agree with the vast majority of this young lady’s opinions, but I do find that her articles are articulate and very thought-provoking. I also find myself deeply saddened (though, I’m sure she would probably say that there is no reason for me to [...]
Unorganized Religion
Oh, here’s a fun one:
Q: Just what exactly does unorganized religion look like, anyway?
A: Unorganized religion is personal beliefs were you do not allow someone else to tell you what you believe or to “interpret” what you should believe.
(edit) A group of people telling someone what to believe is a scam and has led to many great [...]
