Irreverent musings and malarkey from a disillusioned dilettante
Hi all you cool cats and kittens. Today is a bit of rage-fueled rant but after you read the below, you may agree. Or you may disagree. But at least remain open minded to all possibilities (atheism is just as impossible to prove as god so I'm a proud agnostic). In the WSJ article below,... Continue Reading →
I read this bad boy quite randomly after finishing Under the Banner of Heaven. Halfway into Around the World, there's a multi-page examination of the Mormon religion from when the book was written in 1873 - extremely fascinating to learn all about Mormonism then get Jules Verne's 1873 interpretation of the pyramid sche... religion. Anyway,... Continue Reading →
This is going to be short and sweet. If you have an interest in organized religion, particularly Mormonism, and you enjoyed Into the Wild and Into Thin Air, you'll love this book.

Terrific article title: "Lawyers for Noah’s Ark Theme Park are Suing its Insurance Company for Rain Damage"... Continue Reading →
Why not, it worked in Blazing Saddles! Okay, here's one that's even stranger: A Jewish televangelist?!? Why not, it worked for Bernie 2016!
Shalom! Here are two videos that are definitely worth your time. Particularly for all the atheists out there and for both of the self-respecting Jews out there. The first video is Atheism: Believing the Unbelievable by Sam Harris and it's 70 minutes long. Please, please, please watch this if you were born with the inclination... Continue Reading →
Israel. Palestine. Palestine. Israel. Who needs to stay and who needs to GTFO. To quote Lucille Bluth, it's a matter of LAND. And it seems like AD had the answer all along: Speaking of which, how cool is this oven feature: L'chaim.
Do you want to hear an extremely metal etymological story? I bet you do! You just read a series of words I am very comfortable have never been uttered before in the history of the world, and the subsequent story is suitable to its remarkable grandstanding. But first - a history lesson (what great story... Continue Reading →
