Lyndee Pellettiere-Swapp: propaganda for the faithful

I just read about this story about Lyndee Pellettiere-Swapp today, July 10, 2017, assuming it was a new story. After a little research I found the same article repeated virtually verbatim by a dozen, conservative, religious-themed websites without any follow up or analysis. Other than “It’s a miracle!” This story lacks journalistic integrity and has […]

Trumpism and Sheeple in the News

I am not the first to use the term Trumpism. Most use it in relation to Trumpisms–plural meaning the sayings of Donald Trump. There are many videos detailing them. Trumpism is also used to indicate a political movement: Trumpism. This usage compares it to either a philosophy (Darwinism) or a political system (socialism, communism). The […]

What exactly are sheeple?

“Show me someone without an ego, and I’ll show you a loser.” ―Donald J. Trump Sheeple is formed by combining the words “sheep” and “people” used mainly by politicians to describe the blissfully unaware masses. I would call them blind followers. They are not skeptical people. They are not particularly informed–or care to be. Bill […]

Church service and the soul

Recently I attended a church service where the minister spoke at length about the human soul. This is not something I do often but it’s a very hip church with literally a million-dollar sound system and professional musicians (we go for the music…). Unfortunately, the, very hip minister, who I like, segued into the human emotion […]

Ben Carson, the perfect Evangelical shill

While it appears Rick Santorum and Mike Huckabee have been relegated to the “kiddie table” in the Republican Primary, surgeon turned to Evangelical Republican candidate, Ben Carson, is leading many polls as of November 11, 2015. For the secular community, this man is a nightmare. As Bill Maher recently remarked, “how did this man pass […]

Better Secularists, you bet

This post is in response to David Brooks’s article, Better Secularists, in the Feb 3 2015 NY Times. In the article he cites a statistics that about a fifth of all adults are atheist, agnostic or without religious affiliation. It’s a good start but where he shows his prejudice and parochial views is when he makes […]
