  • The Skeptics Bible

    http://www.skepticsannotatedbible.com/abs/long.htm This is an interestig one. Admitedly I’ve only just started making my way through Genesis, but it does show what many people think about the Bible. Generically we (that is, Christians), are taught that mostly the New Testatment is the bit that we should follow. I really need to put some time aside and…

  • God’s Gift.

    Found in Fortune: What we Are is God’s gift to us. What we Become is our gift to God.

  • YAQ

    Those who believe that they believe in God, but without passion in their hearts, without anguish in mind, without uncertainty, without doubt, without an element of despair even in their consolation, believe only in the God idea, not God Himself. – Miguel de Unamuno, Spanish philosopher and writer

  • And Plato Said:

    “We will be better and braver if we engage and inquire than if we indulge in the idle fancy that we already know — or that it is of no use seeking to know what we do not know.” — Plato

  • Genious!

    How it should be. http://www.nativevillage.org/Inspiration-/native_american_code_of_ethics__.htm A little longer than “Be Excellent To Each Other”, but heck, it’s not bad. Black Xanthus.

  • A Critique of God

    http://www.questia.com/PM.qst?a=o&d=70390909 Found on the site “Ethical Atheists”. It claims to be the only anthology that is a critique of the exsistence of God (the book, not the site). I thought I’d give it a read, or at least, try to squeeze it in in my already buzzy, and full, reading list. It deserves to be…

  • Bible Arguments

    http://www.ethicalatheist.com/docs/religion_and_science.html An interesting site. Those of you that regularly read this blog (which I think amounts to my mum =) ), will note that I’m generally open minded. This site, however, is a direct oposite for all the things I’ve ranted about Fundies. Indeed, most of the articles on this site managed to annoy both…

  • Testing the Faith?

    http://www.vexappeal.com/lolgod/uploaded_images/groundfaith-714848.jpg Of course… as I was once told “This is God’s Little Joke”. Work out for yourself what I mean by that. BX

  • YAQ

    It does me no injury for my neighbor to say there are twenty gods or no God. It neither picks my pocket nor breaks my leg. – Thomas Jefferson

  • The Thorny Issue

    http://www.gaychurch.org/Gay_and_Christian_YES/calling_the_rainbow_nation_home/6_gac_celibacy.htm Sometimes things surprise me. This article more than any I’ve read in a long time. Especially as I found it while looking for “Bible passages to sum up a person” for the up coming funeral. I’m sure there’s some random Fundie rant in that one somewhere. There are two things I’d like the reader…

  • YAQ

    We may not be able to persuade Hindus that Jesus and not Vishnu should govern their spiritual horizon, nor Moslems that Lord Buddha is at the center of their spiritual universe, nor Hebrews that Mohammed is a major prohpet, nor Christians that Shinto best expresses their spiritual concerns, to say nothing of the fact that…

  • Romans 13:8

    This line in the bible matches my Philosophy. Love each other. I’ll try to type it up here when I get a chance. SK

  • Romans 12

    A quick note as a personal reminder (because I left my notebook behind). Romans 12 == be excellent to each other. Well worth reading. SK

  • True Christian?

    This Test is designed to catch out “true christians”, those that I refert to as Fundies. Those that pick and choose bits of the bible, and hold only those bits up as true. Read it all, my friends. All the way to the bottom, then react. SK
