God, Huckabee, and Guns
Since 9/11 jihadist terrorists have only been able to kill 17 Americans in the US. During the same time frame 88,000 Americans died in gun violence in the US. So, in case you are interested, you are 5,000 times more likely to be killed by one of your fellow citizens than by a buddy of […]
The Popemobile
An issue that is troubling me is the new Pope-mobile (left). I, a non-believer, have always been willing to listen to people on the other side (religious people). I am willing to let them tell me of all the proof that Jesus really existed and was the son of god, and I am more than […]
Gay Marriage
I voted to allow gay marriage in Maryland — as did the majority of Marylanders, But all along, I felt that something was wrong with this. One thing that I am very sure of is that it is wonderful when two people think so much of each other that they want to assume mutual legal […]
Israel and the United Nations

Jesus and the Paralytic thru a Republican’s Eyes
Now that the Republicans are having their convention in Florida, it is probably a good time for some of us to try to understand them. They are, after all, our brothers and sisters — our dimwitted brothers and sisters. As a starting point I would like to present you with the benefits of my research. […]
