The weakest of all men
The pope is the weakest, most scared of all men on earth. That’s a bold accusation but I intend to tell you why I have come to that conclusion. As usual I’ll be criticising religion, but also the person psychologically. Bear in mind I don’t dislike the guy, nor do I dislike his policies, I… Continue reading

Evolves to destruction
Religion will of course evolve toward destruction, maybe never being totally gone though, if it is allowed to evolve that is. What I mean is that any religion born of ignorance will face off against science and discovery until it gives so much ground that it remains only as a thematic, and not a series… Continue reading

Sexually disappointed professional smilers
I’ve used that title very deliberately, mainly because I wish to speculate, as I often do. And as usual I have to point out I have no proof that what I am about to say is verifiable, it just makes sense to me, and it’s interesting to think about… It strikes me that if we… Continue reading

Cortisol and insult
Cortisol, the stress hormone. I’m not a doctor, and I’m not one of those nitwits that has “done my own research” on the internet. There must be a reason to believe something, some science behind it. Luckily there is a lot of good evidence that how you feel psychologically will contribute chemically to how you… Continue reading

Do it for no other reason
I spent a lot of time on YouTube watching documentaries about the lives of poor US communities and I was shocked to see how the richest country in the world regularly treated its marginalised people. They basically abandon them to charity. The theme that runs through each is the prideful nature of the inhabitants of… Continue reading

The religion of Em
My partner Em has done much less research into religions than I have, because she doesn’t value argument the same way I do, yet she certainly is as strong an atheist as I am despite that fact, and she does make good points if pushed. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying that she couldn’t… Continue reading

Other flags
Two of my cats have not gotten along well, both males and territorial. They first fought, then avoided, but now they sit on a bench a foot from each other. Peace has broken out. I personally support the right of Palestinians to self determine and occupy the lands of their forefathers, but I do not… Continue reading

Respect
What would be the reason behind recognising that something that is not important to you, is in fact important to someone else? I watch a lot of movies, and in some of them I find moments of great wisdom that I suspect the writer deliberately included, stuff I think we all absorb and consider subconsciously.… Continue reading

Something else, something bigger
I don’t believe in a man made god, though I’m willing to think there’s something, maybe. It’s the staggering unexplainably of consciousness, a thing that has no necessity to the universe, that drives that doubt. If the universe is 6000 years old according to Bible scholars, then it’s easy to imagine a god creator because… Continue reading

Our outrageous fortune
The worst person is they that would exploit, make profit from, and wish praise for dealing with, the miseries you and I cannot conquer alone. No evil exists more than that which wishes your sickness to enable it’s remedy, and no person is so depraved that their validation is not gained without the existence of… Continue reading
