Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, welcome to my no frills, no bells and whistles, straight to the point web site. The articles contained therein have (unintentionally) ventured around the web from time to time in the last 5 years.
The latest site my material was on shut down abruptly (I was given no reason why, nor was I contacted about this but considering I was unable to get a hold of the administrator for the past 2 years it doesn't surprise me!) and now my information is without a home.
As the old adage goes, if you want it done right, do it yourself! Considering that I am not very good with computers and building web pages this seemed like a daunting task for someone as computer illiterate as I am. However, this site made it almost idiot proof and considering that I am tired of incompetent administrators I had to do it myself.
You will find articles evaluating Islam, Atheism, Evolution, Biblical Evidences (concerning the Resurrection, archaeological evidence, etc.), the so-called New Age Movement (which indirectly encompasses Buddhism, Sikhism, Hinduism, reincarnation and a whole host of crazy beliefs) and even some political and philosophical musings. It is my intention to provide believers (and even those pseudo-intellectual skeptics) with pertinent information concerning the above topics.
I will try to categorize these in appropriate sections where you can click on a topic and get all the articles relevant to it. However, some things are harder to categorize than others. For example, the Global Warming article could've been put in the "science" section considering those who postulate this garbage use "scientific" evidence to prove it. However, it also has a political motif to it, those nasty anti-capitalists who long to return to those "not-so-technological" days without all that crazy industry creating jobs by the millions and making life easier. Therefore, I put it in a section by itself.
Every article on this site was penned by yours truly unless specifically noted on the link. Those guest articles will either be put right here on the site or I will link to them and include an "off-site" reference. If I link to another site in one of my articles (which I do quite often) this DOES NOT mean I agree with every doctrinal, political, or scientific position they have. I shouldn't have to say this but considering that some people are allergic to critical thinking it's a good idea. This also means I don't necessarily agree with every position of the writer in one of the guest articles. I may not even agree with every position in the article itself, I just found it worthy and informative, please remember to think critically and avoid knee-jerk reactions folks.
If you want to use my articles and/or put them up on your site (if it's a guest article you'll have to contact them) you must ask permission first! Anyone has the right of "free usage" so long as you're not reproducing reams of material, but credit must be given where it's due.
Most people probably wouldn't find this site interesting, after all most people (they know who they are) are more concerned with what asinine thing Britney Spears did last week or the latest kook conspiracy theory provided by Michael "please find me a pup tent to wear" Moore.
If you're concerned with contemporary issues and things that really matter in the game of life then this will be for you. If you don't like talking about those "forbidden dinner table topics" then move on.
If you find any broken links, or have any questions, thanks yous, insults and/or have a bone to pick with me PLEASE don't hesitate to contact me at ANTISPAMprofessorenigma@partnercom.net (remove the "ANTISPAM" this is to reduce spamming). Am I really a professor? The answer is no and I have told this to anyone who asks. However, some people just "don't get it" (or they don't pay attention--or perhaps they just need attention?), this is simply a moniker, no more no less.
If you have a bone to pick with me here's some parameters that will be adhered to: Unless I absolutely know who you are, I HIGHLY recommend you mail me from your ISP, this cuts down on the nut balls who create a Yahoo! e-mail address out of the blue just to be a nuisance and use the "I guess you responded to my e-mail I must be a threat to you" (or if you don't respond you must be scared) and other cheap chat room hero methodology. Am I "trolling for e-mail addresses" as one K-Mart History Dept. graduate (this is not a personal insult to K-Mart employees just a funny analogy) mused? The answer again is no, I just want to avoid those who just seek to try to be an annoyance and then go crawl back under a rock. I have no problem with people mailing me from a generic domain like Yahoo! or Hotmail but a different one would be preferred. If you become obstinate like Donnie or Nick I won't even waste my time.
If you send me an e-mail I reserve the right to post it on this web site. However, I will use whatever moniker you ask me to when identifying you (using your real name is NOT a good idea, although I could care less who you are).
Therefore, if you mail me from a Hotmail or Yahoo (AOL, SBC Global, Rogers et. al., are acceptable) account there is a chance I won't even bother to reply if you're trying to strike up a debate. Sorry about that folks, I just don't want people creating a bogus e-mail address only to run off and say, "I never said that, you're editing my comments." Another tactic used is, "I tried to contact the person you debated on topic X and their e-mail address doesn't exist, I think you're making this up." Now you get it, but the naturalists make themselves look foolish on their own, they don't need much help.
If you send me some expletive-laced screed I might reply to it just to humour you (and if you give me your address I'll send you a big red nose and a clown suit), but most likely I'll let Outlook Express or Norton Anti-Spam take care of you from then on.
As far as debates go I like it to remain in a more structured environment--written. I don't do chat rooms for obvious reasons. Some people will agree to a certain topic only to change the subject, interrupt, utilize the "bazooka" technique, and/or get a dozen of their chat room stooges involved, etc. I've done message boards before but considering most (not all) of the people on those types of venues are out of work comedians, listless hacks and sophists it's a waste of time in my estimation. If you want a debate/discussion do it here or don't do it at all.
Our last piece of business pertains to my own satirical nature. I've had many skeptics, naturalists, and the like get irritated when I inform them that their theories are hogwash (this is rich coming from the same crowd who believes in moral relativism and use some questionable 4-letter words not found in your dictionary). They begin to whine about how "mean" I am at times. I won't apologize for calling it like it is folks, some skeptics attempt to get people riled up and when they get a dose of their own medicine they cry, "What a loving Christian you are!" As an aside, if you're a naturalist that believes in relative morality what's wrong with insulting someone? Did the ghost of Charlie Darwin, Mussolini or Stalin tell you this? What is your foundation for believing in such a way?
I'm not a doormat and I don't intend to be so if you have a problem with Christian use of satire then I suggest you click here. Have a nice day. Beginning 11/15/09 no links will automatically open in a new window. This will save me a lot of time. If you want it opened in a new tab or window, you will have to do that yourself. Thanks!
