It was almost inevitable that David Thiessen and Silence of Mind would cross paths. They are fundamentalist peas in a pod, cut from the same extremist cloth, and they have already bonded over my apparent ‘evil’ nature. They have also continued to be disingenuous. SoM in particular has been forthright in his deceit. The following […]
Quick as a flash, David Thiessen responded to my last post. In his reply, he continued to insist that God does not command people to kill. “…do not leave alive anything that breaths. Completely destroy them…as the Lord your God has commanded you…” Deuteronomy 20:16. “This is what the Lord Almighty says… ‘Now go and […]
David Thiessen, Christian extremist extraordinaire, has been leaving comments on some of my posts regarding Silence of Mind. David is no longer welcome to leave comments here, since he has made it clear he cannot abide by concepts of honesty and decency. Maybe this is why he put together a lengthy attack on a position […]
I hope someone remembered to wake up Green Day. September has ended, and colder days are settling in. Welcome to the Meerkat Muse. What awaits us in October? Turmoil She’s been Prime Minister for little more than a month, yet Liz Truss seems determined to eclipse even Boris Johnson for ineptitude. The mini-budget from Chancellor […]
If God asked me to kill you, I would, without hesitation. That is because God only destroys or orders the destruction of, evil. Thus, Noah’s Flood when humanity had become so evil he regretted having created man. Thus King David, who spent decades slaughtering the wicked Philistines. Luckily and happily, Christians don’t role that way. […]
We’re in an unusual position here folks. As I write this, it’s October, yet we have not had the World Cup. For the first time in the history of the competition, the FIFA World Cup, traditionally held during the European summer, will be held in November and December. There is a good reason for this. […]
It would seem my previous post (and a few comments on Silence of Mind’s post) struck a nerve. SoM displayed what could only be described as petulance from the start, and if his ‘arguments’ are intended, in any way shape or form, to persuade a non-believer to convert to his form of Christianity, they are […]
I have a feeling that one or two people will take a fair bit of an interest in this post, and it will be fascinating to see how they respond. On my web travels, I found a post by one ‘Silence of Mind’, someone I’ve encountered before, via other people’s sites. SoM is a devout […]
This is the notion that’s been suggested a couple of blogs I quietly keep an eye on. According to them, the Department of Education is unconstitutional. Because it is unconstitutional, it is therefore bad. One of them proposes that the rich be required to fund a system of private education. Imagine Trump, Musk, Bezos and […]
We are rolling into autumn, the heat of summer is now but a memory, and the nights are getting longer. September has been a tiring month on this green and pleasant isle, and now it draws to an end. Remembering Greatness This is my Grandfather, Ben Berwick. I was named after him. In this photo, […]
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.
Do you vote in political elections? You can bet your ass that I vote! Ever since I was a young meerkat, I have regarded exercising my right to vote as an important civic duty. I always vote in general elections, and try to vote in local elections too. I can understand why some people abstain, […]
