Conservative compares same sex marriage to marrying dogs and kids

A few points on same sex marriage while watching the debates at the Supreme Court and reading posts about it.  First, to those who state that marriage did not originate with government, it did though. It originated among early human groups, maybe living in cave. That was...

Why do anti-gay opponents think they are persecuted?

Well, I was listening to conservative talk radio (and calling into some shows) on the issue of marriage equality for gay couples, as this issue is before the U.S. Supreme Court right now. Now, one of the hosts stated that those young people who think of their elders...

Why everyone is wrong about the terms atheism and agnosticsm

I was listening to a conservative Jewish talk show host who I will only go by his initials, D.P. because I don't want to give him any unnecessary publicity. D.P. is of the opinion that agnostics should attend a church 26 weeks a year. Or a syngogue. To him agnostic means...

Pope's last day and why we should ignore the NRA

Cracked is one of my favorite websites. I read it every chance I can get. Very talented writers. It is a comedy website by the way, but it's not mindless comedy, like the early 90s' T.V. show, Step By Step. Which was barely a comedy, anyway. Cracked's articles are a series of...

Gun control and does my saying I am an atheist insult you?

Issues in the News: I. Global warming is the worst that has been seen since 11,000 years ago. That's a darn long time. It took 4000 years for the earth to warm 1.25 degrees C (which is over 2 degrees F) from 11,000 years ago to 7000 years ago. Tiny marine organisms were used...

Right to vandalize atheist signs and gay teens pic censored?

Bunch of issues in the news: I. Two gay high school girls had a picture in their school yearbook removed by the school adminstration. The reason given is that it was too much of a display of affection. Maybe, or maybe not, but I wouldn't be too surprised if it was because...

Clint Eastwood and President Obama out front for marriage equalit

Clint Eastwood, and a group of other Republicans, filed a brief in support of marriage equality for gay men and gay women in the state of California. Good. Mr. Eastwood has always been a libertarian Republican, not beholden to the superstitions and dogma of the Republican...

What are the origins of our universe, anyway?

Is there a god? Maybe, maybe not. But if a god exists, I strongly doubt it is the god of the Christian bible. It would be more like the god that many of America's Founding Fathers believed in two hundred years ago, a prime mover who set the universe in motion. The universe...

The NRA and foreign gun running

I have written before about how the National Rifleman Association, or the NRA, is engaged in character attacks on President Obama. How it has opposed universal background checks while pretending that it isn't doing just that. Well, Jon Stewart put a slapdown on the NRA and...
