The Difference Between Faith, Reasonable Expectations, and Hope.
The main problem is that most don’t know the difference between faith, reasonable expectations, and hope. Most people use them interchangeably. When most people say they have “faith” in something, they really mean “reasonable expectations.” To me, faith means, belief “without evidence” or “lack of evidence.” It clearly states in the Bible: Jesus saith unto […]
Jesus Returns July 13: Times Square, New York City
Available now on Amazon Kindle, This short-story is one wild ride. Our tale asks the question, “What it would look like if Jesus Christ returned to Earth on July 13 in the center of Times Square for the Final Judgement?” The slant is definitely satirical, irreverent and liberal. There is a lot of political humor. […]
Reply to Amazon Kindle Book: God is Here by John W Nichols
Read through your little book, God is Here on Amazon Kindle. It tries to explain why bad things happen; why would a good God allow them? You are not free from drugs etc because of God. It is more due to probability! My guess is you went to a 12-Step program and gave yourself to […]
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

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 […]
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 […]
