By now, I’ve found myself enjoying the presence and arguments of two… I don’t know, deeply conservative, devoutly religious sparring partners? Is that the right term? I don’t know, though it certainly fits. In this instance, the category is once again that of women’s rights and the desired interference of…
Blogging Theology and Segregation of the Sexes
Not for the first time, Paul Williams of Blogging Theology has put forward the notion that men and women need to be ‘partitioned‘ in order to improve society. The pretext for this argument (this time around) concerns cases of assault upon women at festivals. One in three women have reported…

‘Secular’ Science
Recently David of Theology Archaeology has been publishing a few more articles to Hub Pages. I’ll give him this – he can churn out a lot of material! The one of particular interest to me at the moment is this one. I’ll be quoting it, as I go through it. …

Talking Past Each Other
I’m quite happy to engage in robust conversation with various people across various fields. I’ve done so with MGTOWs and MRAs. I’ve done so with gatekeeping Star Trek fans. I’ve done so with people of various conservative religious beliefs. Gun control, sports, science, you name it, I’ve gotten stuck in.…

The Mexican Wall and a Fake Crisis
This won’t be the first time I’ve crossed swords with the author of Theology Archaeology and I dare say it won’t be the last, but like my discussions with the author of Blogging Theology, I feel compelled to offer a counterpoint, even if it’s one that will be drowned out.…

Meerkat Musings vs Theology Archaeology – Faith Healing P2
Some time ago now, I got into a discussion with the author of Theology Archaeology on the subject of faith healing. This discussion has been rekindled, elsewhere on the web, when I discovered the original author had more or less repeated his original arguments. Not being one to let something…

In Preparation for the Faith Healing Duel…
Last night and this morning I had a brief conversation with someone on Twitter concerning the relationship between religion and science. I’ll leave you, the reader, to decide if I was insulting in any way. I will also add the caveat, as always, that I do not consider everyone of…

I was Accosted…
So I’m walking home from the station on Friday, and I have my headphones in, grooving to some tunes (ok, I don’t groove in public, but you get the idea), when a man starts waving at me. At first I thought, ‘do we know each other?’ However it became clear…
