Exploring the fundamental flaws of fundamentalist thought

An open letter to the psychopath who spammed my site
Sep 28th
This morning started out like any other Friday morning… I shut off my alarm, rolled out of bed, and came downstairs to watch the news and check my email. Pretty standard stuff, is it not? Well, I was treated to an extra special surprise this morning…
277 COMMENTS ON MY BLOG!!!
My first assumption was that they were all just run-of-the-mill spam… “Cheap Viagra”, “Asian Porn”, and “Hot Russian Women Want to Meet You” type stuff. Boy, oh boy, was I wrong.
It seems that some valiant soldier in the army of God decided to assault my humble little blog. He was, at least, kind enough to send me an email (from a spoofed address) explaining himself.
It seems that he wanted to warn me that “God is gong (sic) to give you aides (sic) you athest (sic) fag and you will learn the truth while your (sic) burning in Hell”
To emphasize this point, he took the time to post 277 comments that were ALL BIBLE QUOTES IN CAPS LIKE THIS WITH NO PUNCTUATION OR PARAGRAPH BREAKS. I tend to dismiss comments typed in this manner as the ramblings of a sociopath.
I’m sorry you wasted so much of your time, my friend. I would think that at some point in the three hours you spent typing the comments that I moderate all the comments on this blog. I can only assume that you were desperately in need of some activity to occupy your hands whilst you were tweaking your ass off.
I want to make one thing perfectly clear… I do not reject comments simply because they disagree with my views. If you have a cogent argument to make, I encourage you to do so. I’m going to go out on a limb here and assume that you are completely incapable of doing so.
I would also like to make a few points in response to your email…
- Simply because an individual expresses the view that homosexuals are human beings, and deserve to be treated with the same dignity and respect as all human beings, does not mean that they are gay. I am straight. If I were gay, I would not conceal that fact, as I see absolutely no shame in it.
- In case you haven’t stayed up on all the medical research in the last 20 years, AIDS is not a “gay” disease. HIV, like all other viruses, does not differentiate between sexual orientations. It is true that homosexual men are generally within the higher risk groups, but it is important to note that gay women are among those within the lowest risk groups. If AIDS was, as so many of you like to suggest, a plague sent by some angry deity to punish homosexuals, it would be logical to assume that he would have done a better job giving it to lesbians, wouldn’t it?
- I don’t believe in your concept of “Hell”. To me, Hell would be a place in which I was surrounded by moronic, bigoted, psychopaths such as yourself.
I suppose all I have left to say is this: Lay off the drugs, get some professional help, and stop using religion to justify that burning hatred you feel within yourself. Life can be pretty wonderful if you learn to replace that hate with love.
I sincerely wish you the best.
Sorry for the hiatus
Jul 20th
I just wanted to make a quick post to let the readers of my blog (all three of you) know that I have been taking a bit of a hiatus from cyberspace over the last month or so.
I am currently working on several articles on a variety of topics. So don’t fret, my friends!
New content is on the way.
A great new site

Happy New Year
Jan 3rd
I would like to take a moment to wish everyone a Happy New Year!
I decided to spend the Secular Winter Holidays (take that, John Gibson!) devoting some time to family, friends, and a little rest and relaxation.
Well… the holidays are now over, so it’s time to get back to roasting fundamentalist nuts over an open fire of sanity and reason…
Though I doubt Perry Como will be singing about it.
Breaking my silence
Dec 12th
I’ve been absent from the internet for a few weeks. On top of helping my wife organize the Potterdelphia Yule Ball (which was wonderful, by the way), we’ve been experiencing severe problems with our internet service.
I’m glad to say that things are now less hectic, and our internet seems to be 100% operational again. You can all look forward to more of my ramblings here, as well as the forums at The Rational Response Squad.

New Theme
Nov 12th
Well, I finally decided to add a bit more color to the site!
I’m still tweaking the theme a bit, but everything should be working fine.
Luckily, I get free tech support… I’m married to a web developer!
Richard Dawkins Pics
Nov 2nd
I just posted a few pictures from Richard Dawkins’ appearance in Philadelphia on my Flickr page.

Back from vacation
May 30th
My wife and I took some time off of work to celebrate our anniversary, so I decided to stay away from the site as well. So… what’s been up while I was gone?
The AFA is whining about gay marriage.
The TVC is whining about gay marriage.
Repent America is whining about gay marriage.
Well, it seems I didn’t miss much after all.
On a positive note, I received my first issue of UU World Magazine. It was quite refreshing to read articles written by individuals who hold a much more progressive view toward religion. I highly recommend it to anybody who wants a glimpse of a religious community that actually treats all people with love and respect… a novel idea, huh? It seems just crazy enough to catch on!
I’m sorry… I often forget that the only true way to express love toward your fellow man is to rescue them by forcing them to conform to your rather narrow concept of morality. It’s a damn good thing that we have fundamentalist groups that love us enough to teach us to hate.
Welcome to the site!
Apr 15th
Today is the official launch of Fundamentally Flawed! I wanted to have all of the pages up and running, but I decided to launch a bit prematurely (It’s nothing to be embarressed about… it happens to lots of guys!).
This site is a labor of love… I am making every attempt to scour the web for news and articles to add every day, but I could always use a little help. If you see anything you would like to add, visit the “Contact” page and send me a link. It would be greatly appreciated.
