Rights and What is Left to Control

On the course of my web travels, I stumbled upon a post by one Verziehenone, who runs a site called The Lion’s Share. It is quite risky for a meerkat to associate with a lion (would a meerkat be nothing more than a snack to the King of the Jungle?), though I know of a […]

Climate Change

Our world is fragile, and human activities are threatening the survival not only of ourselves, but every living thing. We have a responsibility to the generations to come, and to ourselves, to make sure we preserve this unique world. My inspiration for this post comes from a project I’ve gotten involved in. It’s nothing too […]

The Right to be You, P2

Following on from this post (which can also be found at the Coalition of the Brave), it would seem that the fundie has wailed some more at Jill’s original writings. Deceitful to the last, what does the fundie have to say? His post is titled ‘How Christian of You’, and that leads us into his […]

Disingenuous Nit-Picks

The following is the fundie’s mangling of English… 4. atheists, humanists, pagans, Muslims, Jews, Hindus, Catholics, Buddhists, indigenous people, LGBTQ people, Democrats, liberals, socialists, or any of the other people they consigned to Hell in this life This is a mistake as it leaves out a keyword. That keyword is ‘former’. There will be atheists, […]

The Right to be You

Further to Jill Dennison’s excellent post regarding the importance of separating Church and State, a certain Christian fundamentalist responded. Did they provide anything coherent, logical, or fact-based? Their text shall be in purple, and Jill’s in blue. The content is full of flawed logic and faulty arguments. It is only the whine of an unbeliever […]

The Haves and Have Nots

The last few days have highlighted a stark contrast in British society. Amidst the pomp and pageantry, and solemn displays of remembrance, comes the inescapable fact that the divide between the haves and have nots has never been greater. There is an image going around, of a display stand showing a message of remembrance of […]

The Meerkat Muse – 14/9/22

Here we go again! What is there to Muse about? A few things… Pan-Handling I have no idea why (beyond perhaps, the YouTube algorithm suggesting videos, that then seeped into my subconscious), but the other week, I had a dream about the Napoleonic War series Sharpe. The bulk of what I remember involves me, Sean […]

The Right To Be You — Filosofa’s Word

I think that the ‘wall of separation’ between Church and State is critical to maintaining the democratic foundations of this nation.  If 100% of all people who vote and pay taxes in the nation were of the same religious beliefs, then it might not be critical, then a theocracy might be workable.  But in this […] […]

Criticism of the Dead

This post is inspired by my good friend Bruce Gerencser, who recently made a deeply personal, raw and honest post on his blog, where he laid his heart bare. Bruce did not pull his punches, and discussed the difficult relationship he had with his grandparents. He was critical of his departed relatives, and with good […]
