My poor little brain is having problems, not with the writing of my blogs; I am managing to do that with my usual levels of skill and erudition. I am having difficulties with using the site…

In My Humble Opinion
So, as I struggle to adjust to this new WordPress editor I just want to try to say again that In MY humble opinion if someone wishes to exercise their right to have an opinion and to express it in public they have the responsibility to make sure that their opinion is based on rational, logical thinking and that it is not just emotionally charged irrational ranting. Unless of course they start their post with ‘In my humble oponion.
If you want to see examples of such futile thinking and Argument then search WordPress or Twitter or whatever for ‘Atheist’ and you will find instances galore of assinine comments (actually if you read Bertrand Russell’s ‘Why I am Not a Christian’ you will find that even he has problems tackling the subject so these lesser mortals have only two chances of hetting it right…no chance and a dog’s chance!
It is not someone’s opinion to be an atheist that offends me it is the ludicrous, specious and irratonal mode of Arguing or supporting their decison that I find offensive as it demeans their humanity and insults my intelligence.
Think About it
Hello Everyone
I was thinking of resurrecting my ‘From the Pulpit…’ blog but decided to not do so but to concentrate on this one instead…
I have just finishjed reading a book called ‘The Ghosts of Rosevear’ about a small island in the Isles of Scilly with a nasty history of shipwrecks (Actually, haven’t all the islands there got such histories?) I’ll post a book report soon.
I’ve also been reading Nigel Ayers’s wonderful book about the Bodmin Moor Zodiac and DooDah Wotsit’s book about the Lizard Zodiac in Cornwall. Fantasic reads both.
I’m thinking of writing a book about Leylines. You know, the lines of mystical energy that link one gullible buffoon to another…
It’ll be worth the Wait
I am on holiday for the next week or so so will start my proper blogging when I come back. Do check back later. It will be worth the wait and do remember that there are two opinions on any topic; mine and the wrong one.
It isn’t that Eddie thinks it’s right because he believes it, Eddie believes it because it’s right.!
Treat the previous posts on ths blog as practice runs. I might update them as time goes on.
Think about it.
Have fun everyone
The Three Rs and a G.
I am once more going to combine my blogs into one: this one.
My main pursuits, or at least the ones I’m gonna talk about in public are:
I am a writer.
I will discuss on this site my storytelling and writing
In the past I have mainly written poetry, satire and humour but am now compiling a story about a vampire.
If you like vampire stories you will hate this one. If you hate vampire stories you then will love this one (hopefully)!
I am also writing my memoirs of the time I enjoyed the night life and being surrounded by birds…
I enjoy reading and will post book reports and reviews.
I mainly read nonfiction and biographies but also some other stuff, mostly Victorian novels; you know, the ones you can get for free on Kindle.
I am a ‘student’ of relgion and theology and will use this site to post my thoughts on all things spiritual.
For my sins I am an ordained minister of the Universal Life Church but I don’t have access to a pulpit so will preach on here.
I like gardening and will chip in with a comment or two about that as well.
So this site will contain posts about the three Rs Reading, Writing and Religion and one G…Gardening!
I will endeavour to indicate what topic each post is about so that you can skip thse ones that don’t interest you.
I might upload some of my stuff from my other blog posts or I might not; I’ll leave you in suspense about that!
Think about it.
Words to the Wise
On this site I write about books and things but if you want to see what I write about God and stuff pop over to my religious blog here
