Feeling sick from ice cream.

tequila is at home

... Bach's St. Matthew's Passion on a ukulele ... ?

A purple hearty welcome to Baby E!

Yeah! This is what I'm talking about:

'The End of Faith' is one of those books that deserves to replace the Gideon Bible in every hotel room in the land. . . . [M]y appeal to my American friends is this. When you read something like this Sam Harris article, don't just nod in silent agreement and go on keeping quiet yourself. Start shouting, to encourage the others. I am hard at work on my own book, The God Delusion, for precisely this reason.

Richard Dawkins. [I found him, again, here]

This is even better:

Eventually that started to piss me off. I'm not a rocket scientist, but I'm not stupid either.
I've seen intelligent designs. I've never seen a car born with only three wheels. I've never seen a house sprout an extra room. I'm sorry, but if you're going to teach religion as science... that we were created by an omniscient and omnipotent being... you're going to have to explain genetic mutation. Why do we have a blind spot in our eye? Frogs don't. Explain cancer! It looks like trial and error to me!

Always Question

Always the best for last with Lavender and honey at Blaugustine and, finally, we get to meet ... I mean, really meet ... And This Too.

How exciting is that?

My cup is overflowing on this 7 month anniversary week of this blog.

Thanks for the cite, Tamar!
My ideas on what pushed the button in the instant life began are no more valid than anyone else's; but if someone is going to teach my grandkid that everything since then was intelligently designed then there are some explanations required.

Now is the time for us to speak up and out about this, Always Question ... and to ALWAYS QUESTION ... lest we fall into the darkest of ages.

Wonderful links, Tamar. Questioning has been the rule in our house when it comes to larger questions of life.

We demand however that he never question our rules! (Oy the impossible dilemna of intelligent parenting).

By "he" I'm talking about my older son who always questions us...on every point. Lordy.

Adriana, Impossible indeed!
The dilemna of intelligent parenting... I mean.
