Atheists Lie Even to Themselves
The ARIS 2008 report was released just recently. That stands for “American Religious Identification Survey” and basically polls everyone to find out what they believe.
There are some trends they discuss, facts about regions, age groups, etc, but what I found amusing was this tidbit:
Only 1.6 percent of Americans call themselves atheist or agnostic. But based on stated beliefs, 12 percent are atheist (no God) or agnostic (unsure)
More specifically, 0.7% of the country claim to be Atheist and 0.9% claim to be Agnostic. Then, there are 13.4% who say their religion is “None” or they “Don’t Know”.
However, when asked just about their beliefs, rather than attaching themselves to a title or group, Americans changed their tune:
If it walks like a duck, sounds like a duck, and is doomed to Hell like a duck…

I’ve been slow with any new updates, so here is a song/video that always makes me smile.

Top 10 Things That Scare the World
For the 3 or 4 of you out there who use Google, you’ve probably noticed that as you type in your search, you get a drop down list of the 10 most common searches that match what you’re typing. This is very helpful when you are like me, and not really very good at thinking in terms of key words. Or least not the same key words other people use. Just type in one or two key words and google now drops down with a nice list of searches that people like you are also searching for. BRILLIANT!
However, this has some, perhaps unintended usages. ..
No really… I couldn’t make this up. Go out to Google and try it out by typing “I am extremely”.
Bwillions, and Bwillions of Stars
Have you ever seen a sight such as this? There have been nights and locations where I’ve looked up at the sky and thought, “Wow, I’ve never seen so many stars!” but truly nothing quite this…
A stone chapel is shown on the edge of Lake Tekapo under the sparkling sky in New Zealand's South Island on Nov. 2, 2007. Tekapo's town folk are on a mission to protect the vast starry blanket spanning their heavens, even as the night sky disappears behind light and air pollution in many parts of the globe
Do you think New Zealand has a different sky than the USA?
Deep Thoughts by Calvin
Calvin always did have a Love / Hate relationship with Santa.
What I find mildly amusing is that on the gocomics.com web site, someone tagged this cartoon with “atheism”.
“Sir, I exist!”
However, the fact has not created in me a sense of obligation.
