‘Atheism Kills’ – or does it?

A popular claim of the religiously devout is that atheism is a murderous philosophy. ‘Stalin killed millions and he was an atheist, so atheism is bad! He was inspired by communism, which is atheism!’ Stalin did indeed order millions of deaths, but as the thorough (as always) Michael Wong of Stardestroyer.net points out, it’s a […]

The Age of the Earth

TEWSNBN has recently written on the age of the earth, ‘refuting’ scientific forms of establishing how old our planet is. Naturally, TEWSNBN insists that only a true understanding of the Bible yields the truth. This has been a topic of great interest to almost everyone who is curious about our origins. The unbeliever does not […]

The Meerkat Muse – 22/9/21

It’s that time again! Let us digest the events of the last couple of weeks. Tories hate the Poor Yeah, I’m being blunt here, but why wouldn’t I? It’s the truth. They recently announced plans to raise National Insurance, something that will affect the poor a lot more than it will affect the wealthy. They […]

A Big Oopsie

So… I created a forum. I have no idea what traction this idea will get, but I did it anyway. However, in the process I also removed over three thousand spambot subscribers… and quite possibly any and all legitimate subscribers I had. If you were subscribed to this site and followed it, and I’ve removed […]

They fall straight into the moderation queue and then get binned, because frankly, they are not worth the time to dissect. However, […]

The page is a permanent addition to the menu, and it […]

9/11 – Twenty Years On

I was at work, doing my office-based 9-5 routine, aged just 19. It was another ordinary day, until my colleagues and I began to receive word of a terrible incident unfolding in New York. The news that day was chaotic and it seemed unreal and impossible. As the tragic events developed we all came to […]

The Meerkat Muse – 8/9/21

It’s back! It’s time to continue musing. What have I been up to over the past two weeks? Dreams Where do I begin with this one?! There was the raunchy BDSM dream, involving swings and cuffs… but enough of that. I had an odd, and somewhat distressing dream about being back at an old workplace, […]

‘Sit down, shut up’

I wonder how many times in online history that the demand upon someone to stop posting or commenting on any given subject has actually worked? For starters, the comment I left on YouTube was on a Star Trek video – the comments did get political but the original material was on Captain Picard’s best, most […]
