Pretty much everything you think about so-called “organic” food (all food is chemically organic) is wrong. Organically grown food is nutritionally identical to food produced by conventional farming. Why would you willingly pay more for designer food that is identical to normal food? The answer, of course, is marketing. You have been told for the [...] The world needs more of this. I’m not sure what else to say, really. We just need more. The masses need to know that there is little need to believe in magic today. Some people claim to be “spiritual” simply as an antidote to our materialistic world, and that is perfectly fine. But you don’t [...] I normally don’t reply to comments to the controversial stuff on my blog for a number of reasons: hardly anyone reads my blog, it almost never accomplishes anything useful, it takes me an awfully long time to come up with a reasonable response. However, considering the nature and thoughtfulness of the comments received regarding my [...] Step 1) Own a Metal Detector – Okay, I do. Step 2) Obtain permission to detect from land owners – Okay, that’s possible. Step 3) Live somewhere with an enormous amount of history – Darn. There’s a time and place for everything right? Well, I suppose as far as the United States is concerned, New [...] “The Week” magazine is a wonderful resource for tidbits of religiosity in the name of evil and greed. It doesn’t focus on this kind of reporting, it just so happens that religion is so often the genesis[sic] of such things.

Therefore, within the realm of my personal desire spread fact and open minds, I will leave it to the experts. I’m going to use this space to support my [...] “So many Gods, so many creeds, So many paths that wind and wind, When just the art of being kind Is all this sad world needs.” Courtesy of the wonderful Freedom From Religion Foundation. On a side note, a sign displaying this message was stolen from the Legislative Building in Olympia, Washington as it resided [...] Wow, PZ Myers is a hero of mine. I mean, the guy is just so awesome. If you are ignorant of the entire Cracker Conundrum, you owe it to yourself to read up on it. I think I posted a summary a while back. PZ’s latest post is too awesome to miss. Here’s the wonderful image of the Virgin Mary in all her glory. By the way, did I ever write about the fact that Catholicism is clearly a polytheistic religion? But that’s a whole ‘nother story. Pareidolia strikes again! If you don’t fully understand the term “pareidolia”, here is your chance to trump your friends and [...] I’ve heard this quote before, and I’ve always thought it was a great one: Stephen F. Robert (apparently speaking to a Catholic) “We are both atheists, I just believe in one fewer god than you do. When you understand why you dismiss all the other possible gods, you will understand why I dismiss yours.” That [...] |
