• To ATB: About “How To Judge a Deity” Pt. 1

  September 8, 2008

  Well, I've done it again.  I was wandering around the old stomping grounds, checking out the old favorites list, and was drawn into a discussion about ethics and God. A Thinking Bum, or ATB as he has always been known in this space, has suggested that the idea of a God who is supremely moral...

• Another Update.

  September 1, 2008

  I was putzing around here today again, looking at an entry I wrote after the election in 2004, and I found things much the same as when I left.  The arguments continue.  That's to be expected. I'm back in school now, in Chicago, which means I'm driving about 100 miles each way once...

• Life Goes On.

  August 16, 2007

  I see a few people have been checking this space out recently, wondering how life is going. Well, I suppose I can try to let you all know.  My one year anniversary was July 22nd, and my wife and I celebrated in style, making an attempt to buy our first home.  Our offer was ultimately&he...

• Same old, Same old.

  July 11, 2006

  I've been haunting OD since  I left, occasionally checking my favs, and it appears that things are much the same.  The atheists are getting their swerve on in their typically veiled condescension.  The friends are living life, and struggling with real world stuff.  *nods* [Ins...

  February 27, 2006

  Without giving too many details on the reasons why, I'm leaving OD, and moving to another weblog site.  I can give you just a few reasons. The last note on my last entry should explain part of the reason.  I can't even not comment on something now without being insulted.  As such, ...

• Irony Alert: True Love is Click Away!

  January 30, 2006

  I'm stunned. I just saw a banner on the right side of my screen that contained the following advertisement from True, some online dating service: "True love is just a click away!" The only problem with this advertisement was that the photograph wasn't of an older couple walking hand in ...

• One Sentence Wonders

  January 11, 2006

  This is my abortive attempt to update this now-in-limbo diary. I'm glad that Texas beat USC in the Rose Bowl.  In this day of media hype and egomania, I was glad to see the overhyped, egomaniacial team get beat.  Not the greatest team ever.  Not even close. My Milwaukee Brewers rec...

  December 18, 2005

  ALTERNATIVE TITLE:  Tricks to defeat any argument (no matter how good or bad it is in reality). ALTERNATIVE TITLE:  The reason I'm done arguing. The Irresponsible Options For Defeating Any Statement Made You Disagree With 1. Ignore the Argument. 2.  Obscure, Impugn or Obf...

• Things Observed From The Gas Station Lavatory.

  December 13, 2005

  Sorry.  Random entry title.  But that's ok, because this entry is random. Honestly, I'm not sure what to write in this diary anymore.  I can't write about what I'd really like to write about...and so most days I come into OD, anxious to write, and I leave shortly afterwards, withou...
