Three months ago I wrote a blog post both here and at my blog about the case of Ron Houben, a man who was left in a vegetative state after a car crash. Some uncouth attention seekers decided to abuse this man, his family, and their dignity for their own 15 minutes of fame by […]

It’s been some time I’ve penned some ramblings for YAS (“fingered” is a more accurate word, but conjures disturbing images…), so it’s good to finally have an hour or two spare for some navel gazing. My only explanation for my prolonged absence is that work has been a harsh task-mistress of late, leaving me at the […]
One of the many things I do when I can tear myself away from the internet is to play some of those musical instruments that are all the rage with the young whipper-snappers. I used to be a good boy and play mostly at church, but after losing my job as a preacher for failing […]
Oh man, I came across this webcomic on the Internet, and I just have to share it with you guys. It’s hilarious, you’ll love it.
Here’s the latest one:
Hang on, that’s… that’s not as funny as it was ten minutes ago. What’s going on?

Back then, he was a former President of the Australian Skeptics, the creator of […]
Every so often when asked to justify my atheism, I’m labelled a fundamentalist. Quite wrong, I say. A fundamentalist has a very specific definition that can not apply to me. Call me radical if you like. Militant, sure. Even evangelical is correct (although pretty redundant). But not a fundie. Such language should be reserved for […]
Not all skeptics are full blown materialists, but few would fail to recognise a consistent idea that can be identified behind some, if not most, supernatural belief. That idea is dualism (Cartesian dualism to be precise) – the concept that the brain and the mind are two distinct and separate things, the former material, and the latter […]
All I did was read the Bible from beginning to end. The first time, I got to the end of Exodus 34 and decided to start again, only this time I wrote down anything which did not add up. Here is an interesting anomaly which I am surprised more people do not make a fuss about.
Exodus […]
There’s a few things that I sometimes feel I should blog about — in order to question and challenge ‘assumptions of what is good and what is bad’. I say that because once you start setting down metaphorical ‘black and white’ divides — you best know where the ‘grey’ comes into it.
