MY BLOG
AllAboutLife.com is over 10 years old.
I want to point out that allaboutlife.com was registered on November 1st, 1998. That's almost 11 years ago. Any suggestion that it was grabbed up "in response," is nonsense.
I say this because some religious folks in Australia are running a media campaign titled "Jesus. All About Life," with the web address "allaboutlife.com.au." But it seems people are leaving the (.au) off and arriving here. This has prompted some to accuse me of cyber squatting by registering a similar domain name (munus the .au) to capitalize on this mistake.
I just want to set the record straight about who was here first. So if you got here by mistake, this is the website you're looking for...allaboutlife.com.au.
But feel free to hang around and browse this site while you're here...
Why are Christians putting so much effort into their anti-gay activities?
Your would think Christians would allocate their time and efforts based on gods priorities as outlined in his 10 commandments. So it seems that the current level of anti-gay activity is far out of proportion to its relative importance.
Aren't Christians doing a dis-service to god by ignoring his more important issues? Like this blasphemous trend towards religious tolerance (#1). Or murder (#6), adultery (#7) and theft (#8)? There are over 4 billion blastphemous non-believer/sinners in the world. And the jails and prisons are full of killers and thieves, and the divorce courts are full of adulterers.
So why are these Christians wasting their valuable time and efforts picketing the funerals of dead American soldiers or fighting against same-sex marriage laws, while these greater offenses remain unresolved? After all, homosexuality isn't even mentioned in the 10 commandments...
I couldn't resist posting this item here. A friend of mine e-mailed this link to me so I am passing it on to you... You can find the original posting here.
I have proof that god exists?
How can you deny holy texts like Iliad and Odyssey Theogony. Look around you, the evidence is all over. Look at the war in Iraq - proof of Ares. The high divorce rate shows Hera isnt happy. Look at the sea, evidence of Poseidon. Look at the exquisite wines and wild parties going on, thats the work of Dionysus. Cant you see great musicians are products of Apollo and great minds of Athena. Why dont you people believe. Are you afraid Zeus will strike you down with lightning. Are you too proud to repent. Why dont you accept the fact that there are beings bigger than you out there. You know what, it is your souls that will be banished to the underworld and befriend Hades.

Unfortunately, your view is clouded by a confirmation bias. You want these things to be true, and thus you focus on evidence supporting it, and ignore evidence to the contrary. If you approach this topic with an open mind, it should be blatantly obvious that the Norse gods are the true gods.
Predictions made by Norse lore are confirmed by modern science on a regular basis. For example, it is an observable fact that striking pieces of metal together can produce sparks. Thor smashes a hammer against an anvil, and then lightning bolts are produced. 100% proof positive that Thor creates lightning.
As further evidence, consider the "Problem of Evil", which some religions run afoul of. Not a problem for the Norse gods: Loki did it!
And finally, if ever you are in doubt, all you have to do is look at the names of things. Ásgarðr? Svartálfaheim? Miðgarðr? No human could have come up with those names. Ares? Hera? Zeus? Please, my 3 year old could come up with better names using wooden blocks.
I have recently consolidated my other websites into this one. So if you've arrived here unexpectedly, this is why.
Yesterday someone asked me if I believe in god.
“Which god?”, I replied.
That took her back a little. Then she answered, “Jesus Christ of course!”
“What do you mean of course?", I said. "Do you realize that more people in the world ‘do not’ believe in Jesus Christ than ‘do’ believe in Jesus Christ? Just look at all the Muslims, Jews and Hindus who do not believe in Jesus Christ. Together they represent a larger population than Christian believers.”
Then she said, “Well I guess. But this is a Christian country!”
I didn’t reply.
