He is a man of ideas and strangely all of them make sense. How he lives in a world that seems to work against his common sense must fill him with a sense of disappointment. I feel his pain.
I don't have anything against people having their beliefs, I realize that for many (like my mother) it such a part of who they are that it gives them comfort when things are tough. I just resent those who try to use their beliefs to justify hated or discrimination against others or who preach to me and claim that they know without a doubt that the Bible is the ACTUAL word of god. That kind of absolutism never sits well with me. I would rather trust in myself or others than wait for a god to save us all. I have been let down by those beliefs too many times.
I forever stand vigilant to protect this planet from the myriad of forces that are always against us. Be it the octopus, zombies, aliens or the robots my team of human agents, and our feline allies, circle the globe in a never ending struggle for human freedom.
I learn all I can on every subject that interests me. I especially enjoy ancient history because in the past there are valuable lessons to be found. Also, if I ever get my time machine to work properly, it would be good to know a bit about possible destinations and what to expect when I get there.
I greatly appreciate beautiful design. Be it manufactured or found naturally I am fascinated by the process of invention. I am attracted to the unique, the strange, the haunted. I like to share what I find on this blog.
And not let us forget the 'Cephalopod Menace' who, if allowed to, would wrap their tentacles around all that is good and pure in this life and crush it until it remained no more. They are creatures of pure spite. Hate is all they know. Death is all they do. They are our most ruthless and determined enemy.
So we fight. Selena has the celebrity contacts, the cat is ruthless and without pity, Roosevelt's ghost has the experience and I do the wetwork.
Fighting for the future of the planet doesn't have to be a chore, however. We can take the time to appreciate all that is cool in this world even as we cut the octopus into bite sized chunks.
This is the reason there has always been and must forever be, a Cave of Cool. Be sure to wipe your feet before you enter.

I like this...so very true.
Thanks for the link and the publicity. ;O)
Most very excellent site. Many thanks. AtheistNexus is good too.
Saw it on his site and liked it, see it here and like it again. Cool re-post, Cal!
I believe that for many people, religion is the only hope they have in this world, and without it, they would probably be dead.
Me included.

The person has never studied the Bible with Jehovah's witnesses.
Nor will I ever want too. I have known a few JWs in my life and...well.
