7 Years 

Earlier in the year my wife and I reached the 12-year milestone. We met on a hot July day and by the end of that day we were inseparable.  Five years on from that day, and seven years ago today, we stood before God and our families, and took our vows, declaring our love for […]

Saying Outrageous Things on the Internet 

This was my face earlier today when I read a bold-faced lie concerning my gender. It was less a reaction of anger and more one of utter astonishment that anyone could post such an easily-refuted statement about another human being. Keep in mind that the arguments proposed by Dart come from a person who feels […]

Answering Theology Archaelogy

Having declined to post my final comment (which as mentioned in prior posts, is his right) TA has written a page ‘answering’ some of the points I raised. He has stated I am free to reply, but from previous experience I doubt my replies will get by unless they meet his rigid criteria. If you […]

Science and Faith – the Comments

I recently took on some more anti-scientific ideas from TA of Theology Archaelogy. As TA has a tendancy to edit comments (assuming he even lets them through) I am posting them here.

The assumption that it does is distorted thinking and a distorted view of the evidence. Third, Hubble’s theory […]

Why Words with Friends is Evil

By now it’s probably apparent that I’m a bit of a sadomashocist. Or however you spell that word. After all, I routinely delve into the dark and murky waters of MRAs and religious fundamentalism. I must enjoy it in some way, right? Yet there is one thing that I do that I don’t enjoy, yet […]

Customers and Service

Today has been a pointed reminder that the customer is most definitely not always right. I can’t begin to stress how much I hate this notion, especially right now. If you buy something, is it reasonable to expect your purchase to be in good shape? I’d say yes. Got no problem with that. Having said […]
