Inside: Opinions are like @ssholes; Late to the Fluke discussion; So right that you’re wrong; the Christian Id; American Taliban Are you sick of people and their opinions? Facebook walls, Tweets, water cooler conversations. Especially when the topic has been hashed for so long already. There’s always some late-comer with something to say. As [...]

Argle bargle. It is so beautiful outside. Why am I in here writing? I’ve got to get out and take some photos. And I feel like there’s something I’m forgetting today. Like I’m supposed to be somewhere. Hm. But for now, I have to unpack some thoughts that are distracting me. Recent readings, news, conversations, [...]

Up front: My opinions and conclusions are my own. Just because we disagree about something, it doesn’t mean that I think you’re racist, stupid, hateful, hell-bound or full of it. I’m tired of those cards being played. The “disagree with me and I’ll slap a weaponized label on you”. I can’t kick my podcast listening habit. That [...]

Horny for Jesus
I probably shouldn’t post this. Really. There are things I write about periodically. Usually it’s because I hear or see something and the topic comes up again and then I get an urge to talk about it and maybe in the process refine my thinking. And, yeh, sometimes I rant. This particular topic hits two [...]

Came home from grocery shopping a few minutes ago. Tivo recorded something and left the channel on DayStar, a Christian channel from the looks of things. The Coral Ridge Hour (Dr. D. James Kennedy) was on with a segment about … take a guess. Anyone? Socialism. I’ve been wondering why a lot of Christians have [...]

Christianity: Does it suck?
Does Christianity suck? The fall of Christianity. A post-Christian world. I may say some things here that are offensive. Most of them won’t apply to you, I’m sure. You’ll probably agree with me for a few words and then think I’m an idiot after the comma. That’s fine. Criticizing something also doesn’t mean that I’m [...]

These are not book reviews. I haven’t read the books. I listened to interviews and radio programs with the respective authors. It’s more an editorial. My opinions on the topic not an analysis of the books. Whitopia http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=113543979 This is interesting. So that’s where you all are going! The “exurbs”.

Aw man. Octavia Butler died recently at the age of 58. I’ve read all of her novels, I think, and a collection of short stories. This is a huge loss for the genre of science fiction. Aside from just being a great author, having the perspective of an African-American female in sci fi is indispensable. [...]

Every day of this week felt like it should have been Friday. And now it finally is Friday and I’m still sitting here at work. I’ll be heading home soon to work on some music and get some rest. There was something I’ve been thinking about and now I can’t remember what it is. My [...]
