So I found this on the Internet: and decided to go on a rant about cartoons! First off, people who think “anime” is for children don’t know what it really is: an art style, not a genre. While there are anime directed at children, it is most often directed at adults. One easy way to … More Cartoons Are for Children?
I’ve decided to start posting daily, in an attempt to increase readership. Why? Because it has always been my goal in life to be a writer, and this will help me reach that. I’m not sure how many days will be filler, but I’ll see how long I can keep this up. “51. Do … More Long Term Goals
Yeah, I didn’t find the time and energy combination necessary to create my own content for today. NonStampCollector has a post up I like, and I might have something to say about the apologetics link in it later.
I simply don’t feel up to tackling the Kalam argument this week, or writing about much of anything, really. Sorry. Hopefully I’ll get over it in time to invent some content for Friday. We’ll see! I’ve been having a great deal of difficulty handling life lately, or the last couple of days, anyway. I have … More Feeling Out of Sorts
Death appears to be a growing presence in my life of late. One of my uncles, who lives far away from the rest of my family, was diagnosed with cancer early this year, and though he is fighting, he will likely die within a few years. The priest who was my pastor for much of … More Death and Loss

Sincerely, anonymous. ~http://dearblankpleaseblank.com/permalink.php?viewid=962245 I almost lost it when I saw that in my rss feed. (What is “it”?) See, this … More The Burden of Proof
I’ve decided to start something new. As I’ve mentioned, in addition to being an aspiring author and (aspiring) atheist “activist”, I’m also a professional programmer. However, programming is but one of the many crafts I enjoy doing. I also put together jigsaw puzzles, make small clay animals, and put together jewelry. I’ve even tried felting, … More Rosaries
I still remember how much it struck me when I realized this was false. You are a body. You don’t have a body and a mind and a soul, you are your body. All of the activity that feels like not your body is from your brain. Neuroscience is really interesting! That’s all I have … More A Quote from C. S. Lewis
For the record, I here mean young earth creationists, specifically, not people who think there was something guiding the process but otherwise completely embrace all of the evidence. This is a comment I made on reddit a while back that I have modified for this blog. I think it is a simple but important concept … More Why Creationists Don’t Accept Evolution
For a long time, I wrestled with the question of why, other than divine fiat, to avoid acts like murder. I could argue fear of law, but I really don’t care about the law, even though I normally follow it. Eventually, while driving home from work one day, it hit me: causing suffering is bad because suffering … More My Basis for Morality
