I just got done talking to another theist and, as expected, it didn’t go well. The second they get backed into the wall or their core beliefs are questioned, off into the hills they run. What else is new?
Yet we all see this all the time, right? How many theists have you talked to that could communicate in a rational, evidence-based way about their beliefs? None? That’s pretty typical. So let’s get into it.
So the Writer’s Guild is on strike. So what? I bring it up only because I heard on the radio yesterday, they were talking about it and saying “poor them”, but I don’t think so for a number of reasons and therefore, I am not remotely sympathetic.
Therefore, let’s talk about it. Continue reading I’m Not Sympathetic
This is a case that I just ran into, but it shouldn’t come as a surprise to anyone. I just don’t want people to accuse me of being against religion per se or against politics per se. I am against stupidity, full stop.
So here we go again. Continue reading People Just Want to be Stupid
Real quick this time because I think I’ve already made my point, but I just saw this and wanted to throw it out there. Here’s a clip that was made off of Atheist Experience and I think it has good points and bad points. So first, here’s the clip, located conveniently below the fold. It’s less than a minute. Take a look and I’ll see you when you’re done. Continue reading Let’s Do It Again
Just so nobody gets the idea that I’m only picking on left-wing insanity and pointing out their hypocrisy, here comes an example from the right. Both extremes are identical and it’s time for them both to stop.
So I’ve been talking a fair bit about left-vs-right dynamics and, as people probably know, I am not really a fan of either, at least in the extremes. I don’t want the regressive left in charge, any more than I want the religious right. Both sides suck.
Here, though, is Douglas Murray explaining exactly what the far left is looking for, in it’s bizarre view of how society ought to be and why, it should never, ever be allowed. The video is below the fold. I’ll meet you there. Continue reading Why We Can’t Let the Left Win
This is going to be a short one, but I was just thinking about it. Yesterday, I went to get my hair cut. Big deal, right? Anyhow, later on today, I’ve got a doctor appointment, it’s a complete waste of my time, but the doctor wants to get paid so into the office I go.
Therefore, I’m getting a haircut, just because I need it anyhow and I can’t wait for the weekend. So what happens? Go below the fold to see the utter pointlessness of this post. Continue reading First World Problem… But…
So I just got done watching a TimCast video, where formerly centrist Tim Pool has gone entirely right-wing lunatic. It was a video where they were talking about the recent Bud Light controversy, where Budweiser decided to cater to transgender activist Dylan Mulvaney and all kinds of shit hit the fan.
Fine, whatever. It was a poor choice on their part and their stock value crashed $5 billion dollars in a week. It’s not like I drink beer anyhow, I don’t care.
It’s just that they keep pushing this as a quasi-religious issue that drives me crazy. Continue reading This is What Bugs Me
I try, at least, especially if it’s something that I need in the short term, but far too often, local stores just don’t have what I’m looking for. I’m not sure how they can expect me to keep the money in the community when these places can’t keep anything on the shelves.
So this is my story. Continue reading So Much for Shopping Locally
So this is a question that has come up more than once, usually when the political extremes are accusing me of not fitting into their mold. No, I don’t, sorry. As far as I’ve always been concerned, ‘conservative’ and ‘liberal’ are political stances, they have nothing at all to do with the bizarre ideologies that infest the far left and the far right. Being conservative has nothing inherently to do with being religious and vice versa. There are a lot of very liberal Christians out there, just like there are a lot of very conservative atheists like me.
So let’s look at it. Continue reading Am I a Conservative Anymore?
