Club Q

Six years ago, Pulse nightclub in Orlando, Florida, came under attack by a gun-toting lunatic, who killed 49 people at the LGBT venue. On Saturday, Club Q in Colorado Springs, came under attack from a maniac, and five people are confirmed to have lost their lives, thanks to a combination of the strange attitude towards […]

Freedom of – and from – Religion, P2

For context of this post, I’d recommend a series of other posts, and I’ll place them in into a recommended reading order too – Constitutional Insurgent’s original post, Citizen Tom’s reply, my original post, and Tom’s response to me. Tom’s response: Are there efforts to impress Christianity upon poor innocent Atheists? Of course, there is. […]

Freedom of – and from – Religion

I continue to find inspiration in the form of Citizen Tom’s website. One of his more recent posts discussed freedom from religion, though to understand Tom’s post, we must first delve into a post by one Constitutional Insurgent. Where I quote Constitutional Insurgent, I’ll be using blue text, and where I quote Tom, I’ll use […]

Meerkat vs Meerkat

Time for a head to head. It’s the battle of the ‘kats. The topic is unchecked greed (at least, to me, that’s the pertinent issue). In short, Sc_Meerkat appears to be an apologist for the hoarding and unchecked profiteering of billion-pound businesses and the super-rich. That may be a hasty conclusion on my part, and […]

Rhetoric and Radicalism

Recently, over in the comments of a post of Citizen Tom’s, Silence of Mind stoked the fires of confrontation. Quite why he said what he said, given that his words are patently untrue (and I believe he knows them to be untrue) is beyond me. For a supposedly devout, ‘true’ Christian… Well, let’s just say […]

Defiance and Logic (a Response to Citizen Tom)

Tom and I have briefly crossed paths before. Following a discussion over at SoM’s site, I wrote a post based upon that discussion. I recently dissected another of SoM’s rants, and shared those thoughts with Tom. In response, Tom has written a new post, and that is the post I take a look at here. […]

‘Invaders’

Trust a Tory to use hysterical, inflammatory language, when describing vulnerable, desperate people. Suella Braverman, the Home Secretary who was sacked by Liz Truss for security failings, and then reinstated by Rishi Sunak a few days later (despite further details of security failures), called migrants ‘invaders’, and thus demonstrated she is a cold, cruel excuse […]

‘Disaster Trolls’

Humanity never fails to amaze me at how long it can sink. I didn’t know that harassing and spying on victims of terrorist attacks was a thing, but it appears it is, and it appears it is do with making money. To quote from this BBC News story: Conspiracy theorists, who claim UK terror attacks […]

Religion, History, Violence, and Hitler

Allow me to preface this post with the warning that this topic is a sensitive one. The depictions of violence are quite graphic, and quite brutal. Discussions of this nature can easily become heated, for we are talking about cherished beliefs and ideals. We are talking about historical figures of much notoriety. Some background. This […]
