Today I saw a picture, of children, lying on the ground. Two boys, a girl, and a boy’s head’s crown. The girl rests her feet, still, upon that crown whose face below, though still, cannot be found. Another boy, another child face tilted up and to one side a face so still, so [...]

Heard this view on a conservative Christian radio show. It is typical of what I often hear on the subject of marriage from these stations. The host of the show claimed that if a man does not fulfill his role as head of the family that his family will not be a wonderful family and [...]

I have occasionally had to defend Christians and religion in general from a sometimes overzealous attack by some atheists. Just as with any belief system there are varieties of atheists. Some are strongly anti-religion and believe religion and Christianity to be evil and doing nothing but harm in the world and its adherents being ignorant [...]

Recently my newspaper, the Fort Worth Star Telegram, published a “Cheer” that read: “Cheers: To the unidentified lady who prepaid for my fountain drink at QuikTrip on Central Drive in Bedford. The display of kindness to a disabled person such as myself was deeply appreciated. Your kindness will be warmly rewarded by God. “ This [...]

There is now a story floating around that the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt has passed a law allowing husbands to have sex with their wives for up to six hours after their wife’s death. REALLY?????? I first heard about it from listening to good old reliable Rush Limbaugh. He prefaced it with saying that he [...]

One of the reasons I became an atheist is because of the inherent conflict between the idea of an omnipotent and omniscient God and the idea of free will. Free will is an especially important concept for those who believe in a judgment after death and also believe that God is moral and just [...]

Because of that I am posting my responses here and then providing a link on that facebook page as my response. Jeez, the things I do to continue a discussion. Meantime I [...]

Writing as someone who fully supported our initial invasion of Afghanistan (and who still does support it); I think it is time to get out. Now. Any good that comes from our staying is now going to be greatly outweighed by the harm we do – to the Afghan people, to our troops, to our [...]
