Atheism week continues here on the Head Tale with today’s Music Monday clip, “Thoughts of a Dying Atheist” by Muse. A quick review of the lyrics could provide a few meanings. On its surface, iit’s basically about how an atheist must feel when facing death, knowing that their beliefs mean there is nothing afterward – […]
With Christmas falling on a Saturday this year, I’m thinking of doing a full week-long series of posts about Atheism, culminating with my annual snarky tongue-in-cheek humourous atheism-themed post on Christmas Day! 😉 It’s pretty obvious if you read this blog (or just look at some of the categories and keywords I use) that I’m an […]
A Religious Bird, originally uploaded by headtale. I don’t normally make a habit of taking photos of strangers without their permission (honest!) but I thought this one was pretty funn. A woman sitting across from me on the bus the other day was reading her daily devotions while cross-referencing the Bible. Meanwhile, I was reading […]
In my ongoing quest to completely compartmentalize this blog, I’ve decided to add yet another themed day to go along with Music Mondays, Friday Fun Links, Saturday Snaps and the occasional Sappy Sunday.

Just as TV and video games are changing the neural pathways of kids, I think having a blog has had a similar effect on me. Throughout the day, I frequently think “Oh, that witty comment is something I should blog about” or “Hmm, that idea I came across on Huffington Post deserves sharing” or “I […]
Atheist menace? Sure thing, Emperor. 👿 UK officials had some good ideas about the Perp’s visit initally but I think persecuting him for crimes against humanity is a better option. I mean, his “get out of jail free” card is pretty flimsy by any standard. Oh well, we can hope! (most links via Reddit and […]
The Riders once again beat the Bombers in the annual Labour Day Classic at Taylor Field and, with the game happening on a Sunday, I got to thinking about some of the similarities between team sports and religion… TEN SIMILARITIES BETWEEN SPORT & RELIGION 1. Both sport and religion take place in ornate temples regarded […]
If you’ve read my blog for any length of time, it’s probably pretty clear that I’m not a big fan of religion (having an atheist theme for my annual Christmas post is a pretty big clue!) But as someone who feels just as strongly about the importance of core library values and especially providing access […]
