Archive for July, 2008. Defense of the Internet, or, Google is not making us stupid. I’ve been linked to this article in The Atlantic by Nick Carr before…but I never really dug deeply into it until recently… Is Google Making Us Dumb? Ways to school.). The sentiment isn’t completely unfounded. I know too many people on MySpace or Facebook who write in their Favorite Books section: “Books? So I understand partially why it is shocking when I mention I have few favored novels (ironically, though, I am fond o...

Archive for October, 2008. Sorry, guys, I’m breaking the cardinal rules of blogging. Who ever decided to grant me my blogging license? Let’s go over some cardinal, yet unspoken rules of blogging that I break regularly:. 1) Provide new constant regularly. Well, I’ve never been a regular kind of guy…and a 2 month hiatus definitely doesn’t look good for my blogger resume. 2) Don’t apologize for blogging too rarely. 3) Don’t break the fourth wall when blogging. Cardinal rules of blogging? So, um sorry profus...

Words really do mean nothing anymore (part 2) | ISQA Report

Words really do mean nothing anymore (part 2). August 12, 2008 at 10:40 pm. I was thinking long and hard about a series of “revelations” from the mouths of others that I have received…I realized that many people don’t think this stance: “I don’t believe in gods/higher powers/spiritual forces” is an atheist stance. And as I ranted about in the absurd 21% of American atheists believe in god. What is the world coming to? No freaking idea what things mean. To believe (and you don’t have to call yoursel...

Why I am not a linguistics major, or, Framing atheism. Anyway…I was going through old blogs I’ve never seen before and probably won’t see again (I have a very sadistic mind, it seems…I know I’m going to come out irritated at. But I still do it.). So, I was reading an alleged “ Case Against Atheism: Atheist Scientists. 8220;And I was thinking, “oh ho ho, this should be amusing. 8230;or make me want to hurt people mentally. And then I got to a particular line…. Good for him. Was it over? Nope Then came peo...

Archive for April, 2008. The destructive connotations of a single word. In the comments of my last article. I’ve been going back and forth, back and forth. Fortunately, it hasn’t been over a fundamental part of my argument (unlike what. Other of my commentators have subjected me to). Instead, the discussion has been over a single word. An adjective. But I’m lazy, so I’ll sum up the conversation with a link to a blog post from Progressive U. That covers the same issue:. He was atheist; he killed. If peopl...

Archive for February, 2008. An Ultimatum for America. I need to learn some things once and for all…after all, learning is fun, right? Because knowledge is power, and all that jazz. It’s better to KNOW than to be out in the dark on things. Well, what I need to know are some things about our great country…what does it stand for? Most of Americans don’t agree with that, so we should get rid of it! 8221; Does this mean that a right like this is subject to votes…can we subject rights purely to votes? We might...

Archive for June, 2008. 21% of American atheists believe in God…words mean nothing anymore. It seems that the Pew Forum on Religion and Public Life has released a new comprehensive survey. Recently…how do I know? Well, beyond all. Quoting some part of it as a newsworthy header and then the people around me taking the ideas and drawing insane conclusions from it, I really wouldn’t know. For example…it’s ho-hum. To find that most Americans are tolerant enough to believe that their church isn’t the. 8221; a...
