Many of us who do not belong to a religion or do not believe in God are very worried about some of the events which are being played out each day by some people in the religious world. Some of the things occurring are minor things which we can over look, however there are certain things which cannot...
Quote: Discuss the concepts of victim and victimizer.What danger lies in being a victim? A victimizer? Do you believe that people can be both at the same time? Being a victim takes away your empowerment. It removes choice and makes you a product of events as opposed to a catalyst for life. Well, any...
Hundreds of people crowded into King's Cross station to remember the 52 people killed in the 7/7 suicide bombings in London three years ago. Minister for London Tessa Jowell and London Mayor Boris Johnson laid flowers there at 0850 BST, the time the first three bombs exploded. Survivors and friends...
I've always found it somewhat ironic that for the past 40 years, the only major sporting event broadcast over America's airwaves on the July 4th holiday is the goings on at the All England Lawn Tennis & Croquet Club. But when else would Americans get up at 6am on a Sunday morning to dine on...

I had to wait since the library isn't too cooperative with me and my luck tends to suck when putting holds on books but I finally finished reading this one and this would be today. Yes I know it doesn't make sense that I'd be reading with a headache but the headaches are so frequent that I'm able to...
An interesting video that I came across at YouTube. Also if you haven't come across the DVD "The God who wasn't there", try and get hold of it as I thought it was brilliant, especially when viewed in conjunction with the extra features. I have found some links to the actual DVD at YouTube and most...
kind of a finally getting around to thing for this book, which isn't entirely unexpected from me, since my interest in this series has seriously waned over the last several books. i'm not sure what it was, but it was just missing that extra something that i found so compelling about the series from...
By Dan Barto, Coordinator of Player Development at The Basketball Academy and Pro Training Center at IMG Academies Injuries are a terrible thing to witness. Willis McGahee’s misstep, witnessed by millions during his final collegiate game, might have been outdone by Shaun Livingston's horrific knee...
you know, i didn't even originally want to read this. the cover just looked so much like something for sci fi, and i am totally not a sci fi fan. but then i got repeatedly recommended on amazon, and it was really just a matter of time. the premise also sounds quite intriguing, so i really just...

Your Score: The Mystic You scored 20 Materialism and 80 Phenomenology! You're a mystic, someone who's experienced God but found out He wasn't like in the brochure. You know first-hand what it's like to encounter the ineffable, but have a healthy distrust of organized religion, which you probably...
I began the summer by reading Judith Kitchen's examination of William Stafford's poetic works, Writing the World: Understanding William Stafford. There is simply not enough critical writing on Stafford's voluminous body of work. Here it becomes clear that his crisp, yet complicated, approach to...
An article in the new issue of Wired chronicles the rise of the New Atheism helmed by leaders such as Richard Dawkins, Sam Harris, and Daniel Dennett. The New Atheism as opposed to the old as an agressive evangelical ideology that holds not only a personal disbelief in god but an assertion that no...
It's been a little while since I've posted anything, and I'm waiting for my computer (I'm at work) to process some cataloging so I figured there's no time like the present. :) So, the more people who tell me that I shouldn't go to Cardiff (Wales) to see my favorite comedian (Tim Minchin!) perform,...
”SPIDER-MAN 3” Review” Over the years I have learned not to anticipate or make assumptions about new movies. About two weeks before the American debut of the third Spider-Man movie, ”SPIDER-MAN 3”, I had read mixed reviews of it. Although there were a few positive opinions, most of them...
While the first book I read this year was an enlightening tale of one woman's journey into faith, the second was at the complete opposite side of the spectrum. Sam Harris' Letter to a Christian Nation is an atheist making a case against Christianity. He attacks faith, not just because he believes it...
I love getting Christmas cards with photos on them or in them. They give lots of information about the people who send them, in addition to what the senders put into words. I hope the photos on this blog give you a huge, holiday bellyache of information about what we've been doing here for the last...
Sam Harris is the voice of reason against the inanities, and stupidities of religion. All religions. His indefatigable war against religion is a liberating breath of fresh air to all rational individuals. But all is not right: "If reputable scientists cannot be made to agree that there are important...
