Take a glance at a few paragraphs and see if these people qualify for non-profit staus, as their address implies. They need attention. They need feedback desparately.

I was going to make fun of the new Pope today because it is truly a ridiculous thing. I was combing through Catholic church statistics, wondering why everything I read was about decline and disappearance. They are committing slow suicide on all counts. Not that all major religions aren't doing the same; Catholics are more prominent. It's all about money. What if they sell the Vatican and all the golden crap inside? That could feed every starving child in the world for years. They won't do that; they have to save their cash for the defectors that quit buying trinkets. It's happening...

So I'm innocently looking for statistics, and I found some, but the content of this site is horrifying. It is obviously a hack-job. The scary part is that there are probably thousands of sites like their's that exist for nothing more than to rip you off. On the rare occasion that I offer good information, it is completely free. I even refuse donations. I have even seen my copyrited words printed in slightly different forms, and I don't try to make money from them.

The main thing I learned from those creepy people is that myself, my home, and my children are in grave danger. I don't have any crosses on my doors, necklaces, beads, holy water, or a priest. According to them, I am subject to terrorist attacks, demons, and hell. There was a picture of the post-bombed twin towers next to some of the junk they were selling. It further affirmed my decision to be not only completely unaffiliated with, but also to stand in direct opposition to religion in general. I have seen it from most every direction, and it is all equally disgusting. We all have to believe in something, but we don't all have to be told what we believe in.

If the Christian side of religion was designed around simplicity, they missed the mark. I can understand the major cults complicating things to keep people guessing, but the mainstream should have been different. There should be no six million dollar buildings. There should be no tax for attending. One last thing: If you sell a product or service, you have to pay taxes. The church sells both. In essence, the entire world of organized religion in America is perfectly represented by the hucksters that run that terrible web-site. Tax exempt.  *shakes head*

If you go to church, think about how many times your money has been taxed, then add what you are paying a man to dictate your beliefs, and see if the ten percent increase is worth it. Do you get that ten percent deducted from your taxable earnings for the year when you file taxes, or is it only a percentage of what you paid your preacher? If you don't know, you should take basic accounting classes on Sundays from 10:00-12:30 and 6:00-8:30, and again on Wednesdays from 6:00-8:30. Don't make our government support your churches. Make your churches pay taxes. And for the love of all things sweet and loving, don't let anyone tell you that you are going to hell if you don't adhere to the particulars of another man's religion. Write your own religion; it's cheaper.

Intervention

I had a neighbor once, who over time became a friend. This is what I learned of him and from him over the course of five years. He went to the most elite private schools in the city, and attended The University of Alabama. He was the heir apparent to his father's insurance business, and like his parents, belonged to high society. He was married to a judge's daughter, and they had two daughters together. His life was what most would consider great. He had everything a man  could ever wish into being. His only problem was a lingering taste for alcohol that was a large part of college life, and also the life of society. Like most, a minor drinking problem was not hard to hide; but only until it grew into an unmanageable force. By the time he knew that his drinking had become a problem, his wife had already taken her heart back and given it to another. It was a classic case of being physically present but emotionally absent. He was none the wiser until his wife presented him with

Representation 101

On April 19, 2013 I wrote my U.S. Representative, Jo Bonner (R) a letter containing questions about CISPA (H.R. 624). I generally expect to recieve a form letter in return for my thoughts, but this time I got something a little better. I read over the bill after it had flown through the House, and while it was still on a few American minds. My questions were based on the following: Page 10 - line 5-24 "Federal Government in accordance with subsection (b)- (A) for cyber security purposes; (B) for the investigation and prosecution of cyber security crimes (C) for the protection of individuals from the danger of death or serious bodily harm and the investigation and prosecution of crimes involving such danger of death or serious bodily harm; (D) for the protection of minors from child pornography, any risk of sexual exploitation, and serious threats to the physical safety of minors, including kidnapping and trafficking and the investigation and prosecution of crimes involving c

U.S. vs. Iran: What are we missing?

There is constant chatter and media alarm in the US concerning Iran. As usual, we are fed the information that is not only one-sided, but is mostly a smoke bomb hiding many of the fouls that we have commited against a country that is not very different from some of our "allies" in the region. Actually, the media has made a conscious decision to ignore the facts, and keep them distorted for propaganda reasons. Iran and the US have an ugly history and today, the history has turned to a selective dismantling of a potentially great nation. Iran, and the region it was born in began around 3,200 BCE. Iran reigns as one of the oldest, major continuous civilizations. America on the other hand was established around 1776. That means that a culture, effectively five thousand years older than ours has an edge, and is certainly more well defined. Even our European counterparts can't compete with that. Iranian culture, though battered and abused, remains intact, and that is much mor
