Trying to reignite my blogging … have been thinking lately about lowering the curtain on this site.In thinking about it, I came across a quote, which I can’t find now that I want to write about it - but it was something along the lines of how people who don’t break the rules, don’t make [...]

I received one of those emails that people forward to their freinds and family all the time, the other day. It was from my sister, and it spoke of the United States being based upon the Christian religion. Showing pictures of Moses on the Supreme Court Building, and the Ten Commandments on the [...]

The following is from an introduction to buddhism, and I thought it appropriate for the state of things today.
The first sermon that the Buddha preached after his enlightenment was about the four noble truths. The first noble truth is that life is frustrating and painful. In fact, if we are honest with ourselves, there are [...]

I’m thankful for the millions of Americans that involved themselves this year in our democracy like never before, to stand up against the outrageous excesses of the Bush Administration. Although we apparently didn’t succeed in toppling his regime peacefully via the ballot box. I cling to the hope that reason and logic will eventually prevail [...]

Well, I needed something to replace my Kerry/Edwards bumper sticker … after all my bumper was feeling awfully lonely .. ;)

Learn to wish that everything should come to pass exactly as it does.- EpictetusI just finished reading some of Andrew Sullivan’s readers’ emails on their feelings of betrayal by George W. Bush on his coming out as a Radical Right-Winger hell bent on writing discrimination into the U.S. Constitution by any means necessary to deny [...]

Don’t we tryNot to break our heartsAnd make it so hard for ourselves- Pet Shop Boys So HardJust visited Jamison’s weblog and see that he’s gone offline as of today … been thinking about doing the same thing a lot lately. I’m not blogging much lately, and what I do write about is trivial [...]

I want to get tattooed.I’ve been thinking about it for years probably, but never felt there was anything I would want permanently marked on my body, until maybe the last few months. And now it’s an obsession… it’s reminding me of my problems with Desire, which in buddhism is the root of all suffering. [...]

Ever since I started equating Patriotism with Nationalism in my mind, and started thinking about the indoctrination of school children via the pledge of allegiance, and the flag in general, and how the right-wing zealots have turned it into a divisive symbol instead of a symbol of unity, I’ve thought about how I could put [...]

It’s confession time, I secretly occasionally stop and watch the 700 Club while flipping channels, just to remind myself how evil some highly visible “Christians” are. I won’t tell you my nickname for Pat Robertson, I think it’s totally appropriate but I’m sure he wouldn’t agree with me.
OK, so I stopped on the broadcast a [...]

I’ve been saying this for a while now, but never blog’d about it, as a former Born-Again Christian, I know from where this Bush Administration is coming. Using Bush’s own saying, “Make no mistake about it”, the Right-Wing Christian community in the United States has held the belief that the UN is a step toward [...]

We watched “The Eyes of Tammy Faye” last night, it was a present I got for Charlie for Christmas… rather interesting having grown up with the P.T.L. club and having met Tammy at the Red Party two years ago. Didn’t realize that Jim Bakker had also started the 700 Club and TBN. Tammy [...]

Watching the Simpson’s - Quote:Bart: “What religion are you?”Homer: “You know, the one with all the well-meaning rules that don’t work out in real life. Uh… Christianity.”Check this out –> Religion on the Simpson’s

Absolutely nothing… I guess I just get irritated when I see anyone that justifies their inhumanty towards others with religion. The current situation in the middle east is disgusting me to no end. Neither side is innocent, both are guilty of using religion to justify their inhumanity toward each other. How can anyone lay claim [...]
