When the "war" began, I was not really against it, not really for it. I was mostly concerned for our "guys", and for the people that would become what is euphemistically called . . .

There is a growing problem on Gather. It is a very complex problem, and requires a very serious response if it is to be prevented from turning Gather into a carnival of the mundane. There's . . .

I almost feel I could write something down
That would spin your head around
That would open up your heart
Now wouldn't that be something to behold

It's quite easy to be a jerk. And it's pretty easy for a jerk to think they aren't. These two things kinda go hand in hand, a match made in hell, you might say. There's a little rhythm . . .

There is a phrase folks use a lot that is rather misleading; 'People of faith'.
You see, there is no other kind. Though many like to think their view of reality is based on something solid, that . . .

The mind is an investigator. That is why we have a mind.
The mind is for figuring things out. It is extremely good at this, and if we don't misuse it for other purposes, it makes us very intelligent . . .

Ah yes, that silly, but well meaning man . . . so incompetent, so dogmatic, so unintelligent . . . why, he could never become the dictator of America. He’s obviously too stupid, . . .

I hate to get mean about politics. It usually isn't necessary or productive, but things have gone too far in this country. We are drifting perilously close to the abyss of fascism, and it's time . . .

If God exists he's hiding.
People that can't find God are not looking in the right places.
You won't find God in your imagination, too obvious.

It has become clear to me that many people do not grasp the notion of "God". The general concept this notion revolves around is that such a "Being" would have capabilities . . .

It is quite irksome to me that people that have an anti-religious agenda feel it is appropriate to point at the Middle East and say "I told you so".
