So here’s a story for you. This has to do with a major U.S. insurer that we have a very long relationship with. We’ve had all of our cars with them since the early 1990s. That said, this has nothing at all to do with car insurance. It just shows how little big companies give a damn about their customers.
That’s not a big surprise. Continue reading Insurance is a Scam!
So I do this from time to time. Some people would think that I do it constantly, but sometimes, I have to just look at some of the content online, often from a far-left perspective, and wonder exactly what they were thinking.
Then, I remember they weren’t. They were just reacting emotionally.
So let’s look at one such example. Continue reading Let’s Make People Mad and Talk about Transgenderism
This is one of those things that, as I’m sure you can understand, got sparked by watching a bunch of videos over on The Atheist Experience. That should come as no surprise to anyone, but since today, as I’m writing this, is Thanksgiving, I had a lot of time, sitting around and waiting for the food to cook, so I spent it watching some YouTube videos.
Yeah, that rarely ever goes well. So let’s talk about it. Continue reading Keep Your Fee-Fees Under Control!
I’m in the middle of a discussion with someone on this and I thought it would be easier to get my thoughts out on it here than to try to do it on a forum somewhere, so here we go.
Why are people not willing to just throw money out, just because producers really want them to? Let’s take a look at it because a lot of people can’t figure out why it doesn’t work. Continue reading The Cost/Benefit Analysis
Now Drew over at Genetically Modified Skeptic put up a video about how he’s managed to cope with the loss of his religion over the period of five years since he regained some semblance of sanity and while I think some of the points he made are good, I had a lot of things that I wanted to comment on and some of the things that I’ve learned in the 35+ years since I walked away from Christianity. So here I go and I hope that it can help people who are struggling with the change. Continue reading Deconstructing Religion
This comes up a lot and I’m pretty open about the fact that I don’t really trust the religious very much, at least when it comes to their religious beliefs. I take on apologists constantly over on my YouTube channel and it becomes painfully clear that what they’re saying, it comes from their faith, not from their examination of the objective facts.
But is it worse than that? Let’s look at a single case. Continue reading Why It’s Hard to Trust an Apologist
I’ve seen this a lot but where I’ve really started to notice it is on some of the shows put out by the Atheist Community of Austin. Most specifically, I saw a call this past week over on Truth Wanted by someone calling themselves a “sentientist” and from there, the whole thing went to hell. Continue reading Veganism: Me and my Fee-Fees!
This is what makes being a secular conservative so difficult sometimes because the vast majority of people that you might have one thing in common with, you invariably strongly disagree with them on their underlying principles.
Take Charlie Kirk, for example. In general terms, I agree with a lot of the things he says. It’s just when he opens his mouth about religion that I absolutely cringe. So let’s explore one of his videos and see exactly where the problems lie. Continue reading Where Charlie Kirk goes Wrong
This is something that I’ve thought for a while but could only really put into coherent words recently. Someone pointed out that it’s very similar to my 30 Second Debate Tactic so it’s been floating around out there for a very long time but hey, I’m going to try to articulate it here.
Theists, it doesn’t matter what your book says until you establish a baseline for your claims! Let’s talk about it. Continue reading Putting the Cart in Front of the God
Well, I finally did it. I went through and deleted my accounts on both Gab and Minds. What once looked like a decent experiment, it failed miserably, at least for the things that I was looking for in a social media site. Anyone looking for me there, don’t bother. I’m not going back. Continue reading Farewell Gab and Minds
