This isn’t a new take, nor is it a new take for Paul Williams of Blogging Theology, but it just so happens that there is an interesting and ready-made rebuttal of this claim, available for anyone who is an atheist or agnostic. In direct response, please check out Bruce Gerencser’s post on criminal behaviour and […]
Not for the first time we find ourselves diving into the world of David Thiessen and his viewpoints, this time on the recent release of Bill Cosby from prison. For those who are unaware, back in 2018 Cosby was convicted and jailed for aggravated indecent assault against Andrea Constand. He has been the subject of […]
Welcome back to your regular fix of Meerkat Musings! At the end of the previous Muse I’d remarked upon an upturn in the weather, and it took only a few days for this glorious sunny spell to come to an abrupt, ignoble end. This coincided with a scheduled trip into London (for the first time […]
Further to this post, it’s time to explain what tolerance is, why it matters, and why intolerance dressed as love is still intolerance. It’s painfully apparent that not everyone understands that message. Let’s quote from David’s Theology Archaeology site… David’s comments shall be in purple. The liberals, Democrats, and leftists do not seem to understand […]
It’s recovery time. It’s been just over two weeks since I got my first Covid jab, and for a short time afterward I felt quite fatigued, though that may have been due to the cold I came down with the day before the jab. Whether through a cold, the vaccine, or both, I’ve felt generally […]
What is blasphemy? The Merriam-Webster dictionary defines blasphemy as ‘the act of insulting or showing contempt or lack of reverence for God‘. In some parts of the world blasphemy laws used to exist but were abolished years ago. In other parts of the world such laws still exist, and I dare say they are used […]
In an earlier post about the Flat Earth idea, I mentioned that it’s entirely right to ask questions. Asking questions is how we learn. It’s how we discover. Asking questions is what has propelled the human race forward. As we answer questions, we discover new questions. It’s a fascinating, never-ending cycle. Of course, questions are […]
Continuing with the general theme of exploring the concept of morality, I’m going back to some old arguments and responding to them with new ideas. Specifically, I am addressing an argument frequently put forward over at Blogging Theology – namely that atheism is a bloodthirsty, immoral philosophy. The (mis)representation of atheism is that it’s a […]
Not for the first time, I’m finding myself drawn to discussing the morality of God, specifically God of the Bible, and in particular a number of Old Testament verses that lead me to question the morality of God. I’m also responding to David Tee of Theology Archaeology, who has written a response to an earlier […]
Not for the first time, Paul of Blogging Theology has suggested that democratic rule is incompatible with religion. It seems that he is putting forward an idea he’s tried before, more than once. It also seems that Paul does not believe democracy can be a reasonable form of government. Indeed, one of the blog entries […]
In the not so distant future, I will have been blogging at Meerkat Musings for TEN years. That's sort of scary. I never set out to reach a milestone like that, but ten years on, Meerkat Musings feels like my home-on-the-web, so to speak. #BloggingCommunity
Now, this I find difficult. Of those I have tried, which admittedly is not many, I am rather fond of McDonald's fries, though Burger King's have grown on me.
Let me reiterate, this post is not suitable for work! However, it is perhaps not for the reasons you think (or hope!). I am no prude. I am a man of the world, and familiar with activities of an, um, personal nature. Let it also be said that if people wish to educate themselves about […]
