Atheists are to blame for 9/11
As ludicrous as it sounds , David Mabus has been spreading an email with slanderous accusations at any atheists he can find. I found this rather humours so here it is in its entirety . Thanks for 911, James Randi http://www.aske-skeptics.org.uk/AwardList.html Please shutdown these *paranormal challenges* before any further tragedies occur. It is obvious you [...]
Dreams in Dreams
Last night I had a dream inside a dream, where I woke up inside that dream and continued dreaming. Eventually I woke up and was outside of that realm. Reading Olga’s Tokarczuk House of Day , House of night where she writes about other peoples dreams , has no doubt been hanging on my mind. [...]
Perhaps its post conceptual art.
I was browsing the urban75 forums this morning and somebody posted a video link to The art of nothing. Its a mini-documentary on an exhibition by Hans Freeberling in 2001. The exhibit consisted of blank white walls with the artist providing an intellectual explanation to his audience what he was portraying. This got me thinking, [...]
Is our existence real?
On stumbling across Anthony Campbell website, I noticed a short essay entitled How to tell if you live in a simulation It lays down some questions on to weather we are just in a simulation, this does sound like elements from the film matrix , there is no fiction to be found in this article. [...]
Never forget a passport
I was with a few friends in Leigh On Sea as one of my friends has a bungalow and was kind enough to let us all stay over night, the front room was where we sat,chat,drank and slept, the temperature was almost perfect. I chose the double sofa with my feet hanging off the end, [...]
Being radiant within yourself.
It must have been 5 o’clock this morning that I was first disrupted by the sun. Disrupted is properly the wrong word to describe a beautiful yellow light beaming through the windows in the early morning , nether-less it was pleasant after the abysmal weekend. As soon as my girlfriend finally got up to get [...]
Government getting the youth indoctrinated ….
As cynical as the title may sound, what has been promoted as the house of lords becoming transparent by making bite size videos for the youth to understand what the house of lords means, turns out to be very much a watered down distortion of the reality, that anyone who partakes is going to make [...]
Daniel Cohn-Bendit arrived in England 40 years ago today
And we are no better, Thatcher killed the unions in the 1980s and the rest is all history, student unions are no more than individuals having something more on their cvs in order to improve their job prospects once they graduate. I really feel bad for students today, how expensive it is, 20 years ago [...]
Atheist advocacy
I have been told by a few friends that promoting myself as an atheist is just as bad as promoting Christianity or Islam and that I should follow secularism as it does not force any opinion on someone. I do of course see the reasoning into this that forcing a belief whatever it may be [...]
Keep our NHS public
With the news that polyclinics are planning to replace local general practices, the elderly as well as those without their own transport will have too travel much further to be seen. NHS is a underfunded institution as it is, it must be stopped from being bought out by the private sector. As a uk citizen [...]
