So, you’re in favor of oppressing Palestinians till they see things the atheist way or…what’s the point you’re making unless that they deserve the hate we give them because of the hate they give atheists. Not giving hate for hate is one of the bettter lessons of Christianity (Judge not lest ye be judged, Let him who is without sin cast…[Read more]

Take the test here. Answer 30 questions. See if you can get more than 250 points.

I have used this tall tale of mine a few times with Xtians. Usually, it comes up when talking about how modern culture has a negative impact on society. The usual trope about how video games are ‘making society more violent’ gets the following reply from me;

“When I was young, I only played Pac-Man and I did not grow up to be an adult who wande…[Read more]

Do you want Israel to survive and for the U.S. to stay out of wars it can’t win, Israel needs to be stopped from flattening Gaza and continuing to prosecute its genocidal war on Palestinians NOW!

I found a site, SongTell, that interprets/explains (maybe even speculates) about the meanings of song lyrics. Of many artists, not just The Warning.

Here is what it says about the song Breathe (prior post):

The song “Breathe” by The Warning is a reflective piece exploring the idea of feeling overwhelmed and struggling to keep your head above…[Read more]

Pau of The Warning singing a heartbreaking song called Breathe. The only official video is the lyric video, but I’m not complaining. It’s also got the best audio.

“If any other nation behaved this way, we would sever relations…Shame on us.”

Interesting take on what makes The Warning great. They aren’t the best musicians in rock (they themselves admit to idolizing Muse and Band Maid, and I’d be surprised if we couldn’t add Rush to the list as well). No, their secret sauce is their songwriting which obviously comes from the heart and expresses a l0t of reflection and deep thought about…[Read more]
