By now it should be thoroughly apparent to my followers that I have little patience for creationism. It’s an unscientific idea that undermines efforts to understand the world we live in. To be a creationist you need to first ignore fields of study like geology, biology and astronomy. You need to be capable of either […]
There’s a notion out there which is built upon prejudice and the misrepresentation of facts. Whether this is done deliberately or not, I cannot say. There is a notion among conservative religious right types that marriage is ‘owned’ by the Church, and the Church is subsequently owed a say in the gay marriage debate. They […]
In the wake of the Orlando attacks, and my own thoughts on the tragedy, I had something of an epiphany (inspired as well by some wise words). It can hard – very hard – to stand by your convictions in moments like this. It’s very easy to succumb to hate, especially as politicians and religious […]
All Over the News: Orlando, Florida – http://wp.me/p7BeM9-4r
In the wake of the tragic shooting in Orlando that left 49 people dead and 53 people injured, there’s been a huge surge in discussion about Islamic extremists, gun control, and the attitudes of the major political establishments in the US. Caught up in all this is the LBGT community of Orlando (the Pulse nightclub, […]

https://pigeonchess.com/playing-with-pigeons/ I stumbled upon this site quite by accident, but I am impressed. It sums up nicely what it’s like to argue with creationists.

I had hoped that they would be prepared to enter into a discussion about it, but they declined to publish my comment. This is their prerogative – it’s their site. Edit: TA has now […]
I’ve added something to the main site that might prove interesting – a page inspired by a recent discussion I’ve been having on Intelligent Design. Enjoy!
When Michael found an old mirror in his late grandfather's study, he never imagined it would reveal a hidden piece of family history. Trapped in a strange realm, and changed by the mirror's properties, Michael must unravel his grandfather's legacy. #Kindle
Wow Joanne, wearing your cruelty on your sleeve now. Does it make you feel good to use your platform to demean others @jk_rowling? Do you derive satisfaction from the hurt you cause, Joanne?
Like 6, most annoying character! Some might say Navi the fairy from Ocarina of Time, I say Fi from Skyward Sword. Fitting that the most annoying Zelda game features the most annoying character!
Right, like 5. Which game character do I feel most like? I am scatty and neurotic, so probably Earthworm Jim!
I saw a social media post the other week, and it got me thinking. Does bigotry go both ways? If we want to get uber-technical, then it’s entirely possible for a black person to hate white people in general terms, or women to hate men, or for members of the LGBT community to resent those […]
