There's nothing like a little religious WTF to help one clarify their sanity and this week was chocked full of WTFs. My sanity is now clarified for days on end.     First up was the Hajj, the Muslim pilgrimage to Mecca where worshipers are commanded to cast pebbles at three stone pillars to cast out Satan. (The effectiveness of this ritual seems a little suspect to me, either it doesn't work at all or at the very least Satan keeps coming back, because it has to done every year.) This year 717 people were crushed to death in order for everyone to get their turn at casting pebbles. How in the world can a person consciously trample across the heads of their fellow worshipers just to throw a few pebbles at a wall. The thought of zombies cross my mind, an unfeeling unemotional being without regard to their fellow human.     Sanity clarified.     Next up was the Popes' visit where he was chastised for having the gall to actual...

     Kim Davis Wow, I guess he does work in mysterious ways. With a sense of humor to boot. This was put up in Morehead this past weekend.                                        ****************************************     The Donald

    I've been putting off writing about this for a long time but it's probably now or never to get it done. It's one of the toughest things I'll ever write about, mainly due to the convictions of the handful of people who read my blog but also my tendency to be sarcastic when I write, I'll try to be nice.     They say the squeaky wheel will get all of the attention and while there might be times when that's a good thing, more often than not it isn't. The case in point is Kim Davis, the elected official unable to preform her duties due to her religious convictions. She's been both ridiculed for being hypocritical and praised for standing up for her beliefs. Good or bad that's just the way it is. But probably more importantly she is just being watched by people who are turning away from religion.     In 2007 27% of the millennials in this country (18-35 years old) considered themselves "nones". Meaning they're either atheist, agnostic, ...

    I got a little "hope your happy now" message today regarding Kim Davis the county clerk found in contempt of court and placed in jail. No, I'm not happy. I don't want to see this women jailed, I want to see her do her job, and besides, even with her jailed there were no licenses issued today.     Not once, but twice this woman has placed her hand the bible, and knowing this woman it was probably her family bible, and swore to uphold the constitution of the United States. If you're not able to do this, walk away. This country is not a theocracy and Rowan county is not your little kingdom. (It was brought out in court today that the other clerks have no problem issuing licenses but were in fear of their jobs if they crossed Kim)     Theocracy according to Websters is defined as "government of a state by divine guidance  or by officials who are regarded as divinely guided". We as a country have sent our loved ones to fight, and die, b...
