This whole cake baking thing is going to be as slogan-ed as ‘Joe the Plumber’. I fear we’ll never hear the end of it. “Why should I have to bake a cake if I don’t want to?!” “It’s against my religion to bake you a cake!” If you have been reading my thoughts on homosexuality … Continue reading
You’ve heard it repeated endlessly. It’s just a slippery slope from this to that. It’s that diplomatic way of saying “Well, I can’t find a good reason to object to that any longer, so I’ll blame it on what could possibly happen, but isn’t happening now.” We hear it with charity, gay rights, politics, drugs, … Continue reading
You know what’s funny? I never once thought…’I should shoot her. That would stop this from happening.’ And that doesn’t make me a hero! I promise you, that is the very least I could do. Continue reading
“All I see are stepford-like lives Needles and knives, beautiful lies Bringing out the green in your eyes Perfect disguise for envy and pride Face me Make me listen to the truth even if it breaks me You can judge me, love me If you’re hating me, do it honestly” ~Kelly Clarkson One way or … Continue reading
It occurred to me commenting on another blog that people may not even know that a liberal Christianity exists. One page said that a celebrity left Christianity because she had a crush on a bi-sexual man and the church didn’t approve. I posted that she should have tried a different denomination if that was the … Continue reading
I’m built to be a nit-picker Wired that way. I don’t mean to be critical, Just to be sensitive to how others may feel. When you say: She’s black, but I just love her. I know you don’t mean anything by it, But It sounds like being black is a barrier to being loved in … Continue reading
Today I saw another post on facebook about a politician calling for our God-given right to bear arms. My first thought was of Princess Bride. I do not think when they say God given they really mean that God gave them the right to bear arms. Or did I miss that in Scripture? I could … Continue reading
After four years of putting it off, I finally went to my parents church to see their infamous Easter play. No, it’s not little kids singing off key, that would be cute! Their Easter play is reenactment of the crucifixion of Christ. A full reenactment. First, Christ walks around blessing people and preventing a woman … Continue reading
I’ve never been overly disturbed with the death of a loved one. No, it’s not because of religion. It’s because of the finality of it all. I find that quite reassuring for some reason. It’s the not-knowing that kills me. My husband called to see if I was cutting because of the loss of our … Continue reading
Let me first say that I am speaking of the atheist who refuses to tolerate anyone else’s opinion, and does so on the grounds that what they believe is fact. The atheist who must change your mind. The one who is desperately trying to convert you to their beliefs. Yes, that statement may make blood … Continue reading
If you want to build a ship, don't drum up people to collect wood and don't assign them tasks and work, but rather teach them to long for the endless immensity of the sea. Antoine de Saint-Exupery
