My beliefs.

My personal beliefs of reality may slowly reveal themselves through this blog. They may be shocking to some and potentially offensive to others. I don't think that I'm ready to just list them all out right here.

This is just a warning for all of you.

First I'll list some things that I don't believe and leave it at that for now. One of these in particular may raise some eyebrows.

I don't believe:

  • in Space Aliens

  • that the moon landings were staged (so I do believe that we actually went to the moon)

  • that the Holocaust never happened (It most certainly did)

  • that drugs are harmless (I don't like any form of chemical body/mind manipulation including most pharmaceuticals)

  • that violence, pornography, and vulgarity on tv, in movies, and in music is harmless (it has a major impact on behavior - and I don't just mean for kids - it affects all people)

  • that promiscuity can be safe and harmless

  • that abortion is different than murder

  • that everything is all well and good with the world

  • that technology makes our world a safer/cleaner/better place

  • that people are basically good (perhaps more on this later)

  • that Satan is not real

  • that Demons and Angels aren't real (perhaps more on this later)

  • that Jesus was a good teacher, but not the Messiah and not Divine (definitely more on this later)

  • in Buddha

  • that Muslims worship the same God as Christians - or that Islam is another path to the same God

  • that there is any path to God/salvation other than through Jesus Christ

  • that the medieval Crusaders had God's blessing

  • that God advocates violence towards non-christians today

  • that Islam does not advocate violence or that it is a peaceful religion

  • that "the experts" know what they're talking about

  • that being published in a magazine or writing a best selling book means that you are right

  • that you are right because any number of other people agree with you

  • that non-experts must be wrong if they disagree with the experts

  • that there is any living person who does not make mistakes

  • in the theory of Evolution (more specifically biological Macroevolution)

  • that the Earth could have maintained a habitable environment for millions or billions of years


There's a lot more, but I'm tired and I have to work tomorrow, so I'll stop there.

You don't believe in space aliens, but you do believe in angels and demons... Yeah, that makes sense.

but apparently (judging by your sidebar) non-chemical means of body/mind manipulation are OK.

Some of them seem shocking coming from you but I admire your willing to put them all out there. I disagree with some of your feelings towards Islam but that debate is best done in person and not over blogs.
