Secular Sunday – Happy Blasphemy Day!

Apparently it’s International Blasphemy Day. Borrowed from an atheist I know on Facebook, here’s some self-criticism of some of atheism’s “untouchables” which I (mostly) agree with… In honour of International Blasphemy Day: Christopher Hitchens was an over-rated warmonger. Sam Harris frequently comes to conclusions first and then tries forcing the evidence to fit those conclusions. […]

Saturday Snap – More My Speed?

Our neighbour built a small ramp to help him move a new appliance in his house. Once he was finished with it, he brought it over and offered it to Pace (but I think he secretly meant it for me in case I ever decide to do a bike jump again!) And speaking of the […]

Secular Sunday – How Secular Family Values Stack Up

Especially with what we’re seeing in the States with an alleged pedophile endorsing an accused rapist [edit: Kavanagh’s story is blowing up tonight with two new accusers coming forward and *way* worse allegations] who was picked by a serial adulterer (among Trump’s many other mortal sins) – all as part of the party of “family values” – […]

Saturday Snap – My Christmas List (on the First Day of Fall)

Yesterday was the first day of fall but much of Saskatchewan had already received a heavy snowfall and Regina got a sleety-snowy rain that didn’t stick around but definitely felt more like winter than fall. There were other signs that it felt more like winter than fall as well. When I turned on the “Flow” […]
