Inevitably when in discussions with people who reject religious convictions, I will be told that that all religious systems have roughly the same evidence for and against it being true.

November 9, 2012 by
I love irony in all its forms, even when it's at my expense, but I prefer it's at someone else's. It was visiting another blog where I encountered this post's inspiration.

November 6, 2012 by 8 Comments
Above is my electoral map for today's Presidential election via RCP. I think Obama can and may win some of the states I have designated as a toss-up, but as you can see, it doesn't matter a whole lot. What's correct, what's incorrect? What would you change? Create your own … [Read more...]
Barack Obama does not deserve your vote
November 6, 2012 by 12 Comments
Thinking back over the past few months of this year's campaign season, I am amazed at the number of people willing to support President Obama for a second term based on his effort. Much like in my previous post on effort vs. results, there are folks out there willing to re-elect Obama because he … [Read more...]

Sometimes trying isn’t good enough
November 3, 2012 by 3 Comments
Having lost power earlier this week due to Hurricane Sandy, I decided to build a fire to help keep the family warm. Lacking the luxuries of electricity, I needed to hearken back to my Boy Scout days and go into survival mode. So I got the wood, newspapers, wood chips, twigs, etc. all set to get a … [Read more...]
Intolerance will not be tolerated
November 2, 2012 by 24 Comments

How have we gotten to a place where who actually has the responsibility to raise children has been assigned to someone other than the child's parents?
