Alarming News: I like Morgan Freeberg. A lot.
American Digest: And I like this from "The Blog That Nobody Reads", because it is -- mostly -- about me. What can I say? I'm on an ego trip today. It won't last.
Anti-Idiotarian Rottweiler: We were following a trackback and thinking "hmmm... this is a bloody excellent post!", and then we realized that it was just part III of, well, three...Damn. I wish I'd written those.
Anti-Idiotarian Rottweiler: ...I just remembered that I found a new blog a short while ago, House of Eratosthenes, that I really like. I like his common sense approach and his curiosity when it comes to why people believe what they believe rather than just what they believe.
Brutally Honest: Morgan Freeberg is brilliant.
Dr. Melissa Clouthier: Morgan Freeberg at House of Eratosthenes (pftthats a mouthful) honors big boned women in skimpy clothing. The picture there is priceless--keep scrolling down.
Exile in Portales: Via Gerard: Morgan Freeberg, a guy with a lot to say. And he speaks The Truth...and it's fascinating stuff. Worth a read, or three. Or six.
Just Muttering: Two nice pieces at House of Eratosthenes, one about a perhaps unintended effect of the Enron mess, and one on the Gore-y environ-movie.
Mein Blogovault: Make "the Blog that No One Reads" one of your daily reads.
The Virginian: I know this post will offend some people, but the author makes some good points.
Poetic Justice: Cletus! Ah gots a laiv one fer yew...
Who would have thought an atheist would ever win the seventy-first Best Sentence I’ve Heard Or Read Lately (BSIHORL) award. More surprising yet, an atheist nailing down exactly who & what we have become. Small-tee tim the godless heathen weighs in:
An overreaching, self hatred, self flogging, white guilt, we’re global citizens no better than impoverished soon to be jihadis, using all the worlds resources, war is bad, Bush lied, spread the wealth, capitalism left us behind, post racial mental breakdown coupled with an overabundance of psychoactive drugs meant to “calm” us down because we’re all “too stressed”, let’s be happy and text each other while driving what we just ate for lunch on our way home to watch the latest Youtube video of some dumbass who makes us fe[e]l smarter in comparison.
You never know when one of these godless heathens is about to say something that makes sense. Usually, I’ve noticed, it’s when small-tee is the one doing the talking. He’s giving them better representation than they deserve, or they’re giving him poorer representation than he deserves. Not sure which.
Well done, godless heathen dude. You’re right, we’re being medicated and shamed — and unshamed — into oblivion. A nation of veal calves.

I’ve never met a moral atheist that received their morals from an atheist; from my perspective, they receive their moral code from non-atheists and simply refuse to give credit where credit is due. In time they may see things differently.
- wch | 09/22/2009 @ 09:48Small-tee is one of the decent, sharp ones. His code, from wherever he gets it, has to do with calling bullshit on the whole Picard-versus-Tasmanian-Devil setup.
Which means all atheists could if they chose to. And yet nearly all of them choose not to…opting instead to take Captain Picard’s side, seeing civilization as synonymous with sycophantic weakness.
Which can only mean there is something in the secularist worldview that compels people toward developing their weaknesses.
Quite a pragmatic and justifiable reason for getting religion invented in the first place, if you ask me.
- mkfreeberg | 09/22/2009 @ 10:10Thanks for the honor Morgan, I mean it.
“and simply refuse to give credit where credit is due”.
I’ll excuse you since you don’t seem to know me.
I may just have to finally post my ‘Atheist for Christ’ idea over at Rick’s place, just for ammo at the least.
- tim | 09/22/2009 @ 10:25Guilty as charged , tim.
- wch | 09/22/2009 @ 11:01No harm, no foul wch.
If I had a nickel for every time I was guilty of the same…
- tim | 09/22/2009 @ 13:05Ah, tim. Giving us atheists a good name again, I see. Well done.
- Andy | 09/22/2009 @ 13:37That’s okay, fellas; God believes in you.
- mkfreeberg | 09/22/2009 @ 13:51These days, me and my fellow atheist wife, seem to find ourselves on the same side as the righteous. The leftist Atheist, which is most of them, replace their faith in God with something far more sinister, a faith in their ability to make us all better, whether we like it or not. They think man can replace God.
Conservative atheists accept the Judeo-Christian heritage of our great country and support its continuance. Why? It works. It works better than atheism as a state religion (cf Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot). It works better than Islam as a state religion. It lets us not believe when all around us do. And, who knows, there may be a master of this universe.
I’ll vote for a person of faith over an atheist any day. Why? The person of faith knows they are only human and are trying to follow God’s plan, as they glimpse it. They don’t overreach because they know they cannot know everything. The leftist atheist, believing himself superior to all who have faith, shows no such constraints. The founding documents, grounded in a religious heritage, count for naught to them.
- PatD | 09/22/2009 @ 21:29Well said PatD, couldn’t agree more.
One interesting note, “They don’t overreach because they know they cannot know everything”, while you were referring to Atheists it certainly resembles Pres. Obama, who at this point I have no idea what he considers himself.
Consider some of the following facts about him.
a.)Attending Muslim school as a youngster
b.)Attending Rev. Wright’s church for 20 yrs. (Ironically and unintentionally my sentence that started this post sounds an awful lot like what the Rev. screamed about).
c.)Eight month into his presidency, the Obama’s still don’t belong to a church in D.C.
d.)Did nothing for National Prayer Day yet made a video for the Muslim holiday Ramadan.
e.)Wildly exaggerated that “We’re one of the world’s largest Muslim countries” while vastly understating that “We’re not a Christian nation”
Draw you own conclusions but it all certainly doesn’t make me feel all warm and fuzzy about him.
- tim | 09/23/2009 @ 06:55Very, very well put, PatD.
And tim, that little list of yours just ruined my day. Thanks.
