DAY TEN’s material comes from Lectures of Colonel Robert Green Ingersoll, Vol. 2. Robert Ingersoll (1833-1899) was a political leader, orator, and Civil War veteran known as “the Great Agnostic.” Ingersoll contends that priests invented “blasphemy,” which (in my understanding) he defines as “the belief and statement that God doesn’t exist.” In today’s selection from …
If you’ve been following along, dear inklings — and I know you have, because that’s just the sort of lovelies you are — you know that I am in the midst of my SECOND journey through Atheism for Lent. I took copious notes (as I am wont to do) during AfL2019; and so, when I …

Well, I’ve missed a few weeks again of blogging here. It’s because late July through end of August kinda kicked my tushie. The kid was sick. I was sick. The two of us went on a last-minute mini-vay with my mom. The kid started 1st grade. (WHAT MANNER OF INSANITY IS THIS.) I got sick …

So, in cobbling together my previous post (and in trying to navigate the new UI of WordPress that has interloped since last I blogged [by Grabthar’s Hammer, I HATE new user-interfaces]), I realized that I’ve never really done a comprehensive post about the Light-Walkers universe. Doing …
Just a brief heyyo here’s what’s been up in my writing world: Last month, I completed, i.e. won, the summerly version of JuNoWriMo, of which you will be cognizant if you have ever given my blog any smidgen of serious attention whatsoever. After having spent almost one whole week of June out-of-commission health-wise, I actually …
