In the Bible it is repeated many times that God is a jealous god. Ands that’s a good thing. Why? I’ll get to that, but let’s first list a few references: We are created in God’s image. One of the important things about that is that God is God and can do whatever he darn… Continue reading GOD is jealous, and that’s a good thing

My Aim is to Horrify You with Yourself
I’ve decided to write a series of non-linear posts that I’ll later reconstruct into a more coherent argument. My next few posts will go over some rather simple things — things that may or may not be controversial. I’ll be referring back to them along the way here and there. For the most part, they’ll… Continue reading My Aim is to Horrify You with Yourself
Jesus Is an Anarchist (Mirrored essay)
There is an excellent essay called “Jesus Is an Anarchist” at http://www.anti-state.com/redford/redford4.html. But it seems like Anti-state.com is no longer maintained, and the essay may disappear at some point. I’m mirroring it here to ensure that it is available in at least 1 other place. When the “anti-state.com” graphic logo is gone, then you’ll know… Continue reading Jesus Is an Anarchist (Mirrored essay)
“Under God” is the Wrong Question

Christianity and Anarchism/Voluntaryism
For quite a while I’ve been mulling over how Christianity is anarchistic, and even necessarily so. Then I came across this: http://anarchast.com/front/2013/5/2/anarchast-ep72-with-paul-rosenberg-christians-are-anarchists.html When you think about it, it makes sense. Christianity doesn’t force anyone to be a Christian. The entire point is to freely choose. Freewill is paramount. This is pretty much what you get… Continue reading Christianity and Anarchism/Voluntaryism
Santa Claus exists, and so does the Easter Bunny!
Most people don’t enjoy lying, and even with good intentions, lying to children still doesn’t seem quite right. So how can you tell a kid that Santa does exist and remain truthful? It’s surprisingly easier than one might expect, and certainly makes more sense than to deny his existence. First, it helps to understand the… Continue reading Santa Claus exists, and so does the Easter Bunny!
Awakening and Qualia: A Lens for Perception
For my birthday today I’d like to give everyone a gift. A gift of a different lens to perceive reality through. A lens to give you another way to understand things. A lens that I use to help me understand others better. However, first I’d like to very quickly go over a few things that… Continue reading Awakening and Qualia: A Lens for Perception
Waking Up…
I need to shift some focus here. I need to contribute to helping people wake up. In high school and university I had a brief period of being partially awake. It was short lived as it only attracted ridicule and I got sick of listening to people. Well, I’ve had brief periods since then of… Continue reading Waking Up…
Is God on Your Side?
Ahem… He’s probably got better things to do than take sides. And why is it that it’s always people with guns or people that are fighting that insist “God” is on their side?
Julia Gillard is a Homophobic… -NSFW-
So I’m driving down the road today and listening to the Australian Parliament on the radio. And there’s a question for Julia Gillard, the Australian Prime Minister. Will Australia issue single, non-married adults outside of Australia a letter of non-impediment to marriage? To which she gives a resounding NO. She flat out says that gays… Continue reading Julia Gillard is a Homophobic… -NSFW-
