9th January 2010I Just Don’t Get This AttitudePeople say things that my brain does not like to compute: So you would choose your religion based on what it offers you? I would choose a religion based on the truth. Surely that's the right way to do it?

17th December 2009Coy Rumfort Round-upThe Banana Man. Stupidity Incarnate. Ray Comfort ((But definitely not Raymond, oh no. That's what his mother calls him.)). Idiot. (I've written about him previously). Why do I keep reading his blog ((And writing.))? My justification is a little contrived, but that's unimportant. I don't read it because I think that there may be a God, and I don't read it because I think that I might learn something ((I don't think such things.)). Rather, I read it for the same reason that I rubberneck - disasters and abominations are fun to watch. I like to cringe, though only in small ...

What I liked most about the audiobook, however, was Christopher's voice - at night it had such an easy-going, slightly-bored and very soothing tone to it. It really helped me get into a sleepy mood, and although it's not a proof against God or anything, it champions atheism and exposes many problems with organised religion as it is practiced today and has been in the past. Worth a ...

27th March 2009Is It Ok For My Christian Daughter To ‘M’?This is one of the funniest articles that I've read in a long time. Read it. "When I reached in her [my daughter's] undergarment drawer and I will be frank, my heart dropped as I found one of those electronic phallic objects in it. They are used to ‘M’ and I didn’t know how to handle the situation." [...] "The night I decided to talk to my daughter about all this, I heard well…I heard reason to not go in the room. I believe she was using the device then. Is this really alright behavior for a good girl or do I need ...

I'm a mathematician, but apart from that, I'm a fairly normal guy. I used to write a blog - this blog. I write (wrote) about whatever is on my mind. It can get quite personal sometimes.
