Maybe it's just me, but I find her remarks about the China earthquake being the result of 'bad karma' funny. (The earthquake itself was a terrible tragedy, mind you. I'm not trying to diminish the impact it created in millions of lives.)

While I personally don't claim* to be a follower of any religion, I do enjoy learning about them. (And there are quite a few.) One of my all time favorite classes in college was "The Philosophy of Religion." And The World's Religions by Huston Smith is one of the books we were required to read. And a book I still have and use.

With the Da Vinci Code movie out in theaters, it's time for me to give my thoughts concerning this whole 'controversy.' (For the record, I've not read the book nor seen the movie; my thoughts are more about the controversy itself.)

Dr. Doron Nof, Professor of Physical Oceanography at Florida State University, has a theory that in the Biblical account of Jesus walking on water he didn't actually walk on liquid water, but rather frozen water. Yes, ice. He has a pdf about it.

While it's nice having someone give a scientific perspective on it, maybe, just maybe, we'll realize what the story really is. A story. A tale. Something made up to try to convince us of something that isn't real.

NOTE: For those degenerates seeking child porn, this page has none. And you should be ashamed of yourself.

Do preacher's kids have sex? I'm not talking about married preacher's kids, but teen kids who are the offspring of preachers? How many of you said no, they don't? If you did, I'm afraid you're delusional.

Whilst surfing the web today looking up Toaism and Buddhism, I came across the site, ExposingSatanism.org.

What I thougth was funny was the copyright disclaimer which prohibits non-christians from using their work unless approved by the webmaster/writer.

My Statement of (Non)Belief
(or, Why I Don’t Believe What I Don’t Believe)
I was recently asked by Zhoen to explain why I went from a Fundamentalist, Bible-thumpin’ Christian to a “non-believer.” The answer is simple, yet complex. I could simply say that one day “I started thinking,” but using that phrase would just annoy a lot of people. But basically, that’s what it comes down to. I started thinking about the Bible and religions and came to the conclusion that it was all wrong.
