Hi and welcome to my blog! If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting and do come back.

I cannot actually believe that I need to blog about this story, but I do.

I just read this article, here’s a snippet and then I’ll continue:

Not my cup of tea. I am sorry to say that my estimation of Gareth Cliff has been lowered, for what it’s worth, not for his views on religion - I am not surprised by uninformed and shallow approaches to a Universe filled with mystery! That happens every day! I am disappointed in the manner in which he dealt with this issue, and the ordinary listener who expressed her opinion in relation to his. Clearly he was dismissive of her, yet he wanted to have the right to have his opinion heard without challenge!

The irony of this comment is that Dion (the author) is doing precisely what he criticises Cliff for doing; being dismissive. What a load of rubbish.

I have openly stated before that I am an atheist and have no issue with that. I am not ignorant, uninformed of shallow. In fact, I am well versed in christianity and have gone out of my way to educate myself. Why is it that in the eyes of a christian, any form of altering opinion is blasphemous and tantamount to condemning yourself to “hell”.

Get real, freedom of speech is the answer here and Cliff said and did nothing that should be considered bad. So he aired his views, would christians be pissed off he said god was great? If he said that christians were right? No, they wouldn’t because it would agree with their view on the world. Obviously they are upset because his opinion is different to theirs. Simple.

There is really no reason for them to send in hate mail and tell him that they are praying for something to happen to him to convert him to god. Please.

So if Cliff is going to hell then so am I. We need to get over this religious elitism in the same way that we have overcome apartheid.

Another post to read: Sarah Britten.

Religion doesn’t often feature on this blog, I am always very undecided about how people will receive my opinions on the topic.

I battle enough getting people to buy in to my views on SA that religion is a fight I am not ready to have with most people. I say this because many people (mainly christians) are not willing to dicuss the matter rationally with me but instead choose to condemn me to an eternal hell.

Just like this mom:

WOW this is one scary mother, literally. My mom is much more understanding about my religious choices or lack thereof.

I absolutely hate it when people talk about things without doing research or knowing what they are saying. I am sure I have done this on the odd occasion in the past but it still bugs me.

I just read this post that talks about social network sites as commonly known as dating sites too. Since when? This post has such an air of “authority” about it that ignorant readers would actually believe this rubbish.

Then the author proceeds to include god’s plan for our lives including these “dating sites”. The author then mixes things up by saying that one should join social networks (or dating sites) to network with people and make links to begin to build a network of people who can help you, over 3-5 years build the sort of life you want to lead. Uhu?

What a load of hogwash. And this sort of revelation comes from a website that looks like this:

It is very scary to me that there are actually people out there who are:

1. Promoting this sort of crap site as something people can and should use
2. Using these sites as their personal blogs.

I have a feeling that this is a Guy Mclaren website. This guy (no pun intended) seems to be promoting the very worst of the web as the contemporary web styles. What is he thinking? Can he not see that his user system is rubbish and outdated? Why would anyone want to use this sort of platform when even the dreaded blogger is better than this platform?

I am so shocked that anyone is registering for this service and this crap. Come on people. Wake up, make a stand. Don’t use this rubbish.

I will offer my somewhat inexperienced services to anyone who is thinking of using the rubbish service above. If you are thinking of starting a blog, email me and I will offer you some assistance on where to go and how to do it. Just as long as you aren’t using the above services.

…and then there was GODTUBE!

Can you hack it? I must say that I think the creators of this site are probably going to be incredibly rich. The Christian faith is expansive and many are wealthy. As much as I will not be using this site for much, or anything for that matter, I do think there is a huge faction of people who will.

Check it out as soon as you feel that you have found god. Godtube.com - Broadcasting him. hehehe
