Confessions of an Anonymous Coward: December 2006
http://acoward.blogspot.com/2006_12_01_archive.html
Confessions of an Anonymous Coward. Friday, December 22, 2006. Many Christians like to claim that atheists have no basis for morality. (And I would like to make clear, for the record, that I realize not all. The argument is, of course, ridiculous. God isn't the only basis for morality; God isn't even a. Besides, I'm not really interested in debate; there are plenty of atheists around who enjoy debate- I don't- and who are much better at it than I am, and I'm content to let them handle that. All of those ...

Confessions of an Anonymous Coward: September 2006
http://acoward.blogspot.com/2006_09_01_archive.html
Confessions of an Anonymous Coward. Thursday, September 28, 2006. I really don't think anyone who knew about my actions and lifestyle would have seen much reason to expect me to leave the church. Oh, sure, I'm a scientist- well, currently a science student and community college teacher- and I'm also a role-player (as in Dungeons and Dragons. Type roleplaying- I'm currently running a biweekly Planescape. Virtually nobody I know paid any attention to this. Of Cold Fusion Video Reviews. Is a Utahn Mormon, a...

Confessions of an Anonymous Coward: October 2006
http://acoward.blogspot.com/2006_10_01_archive.html
Confessions of an Anonymous Coward. Saturday, October 21, 2006. Okay, there are a few different things I've been wanting to make posts about; I've just been very busy. One of them.I'll try to get to tonight or tomorrow. But there's something I've been wondering that will make for a very brief post, so I may as well squeeze that one in now. I was reminded of this idea by a post on Austin Atheist Anonymous. My question is, what is there to teach. Teach "Intelligent Design", what would they teach? Evolution...

Confessions of an Anonymous Coward: July 2006
http://acoward.blogspot.com/2006_07_01_archive.html
Confessions of an Anonymous Coward. Thursday, July 20, 2006. As I said before. When I made my post entitled "Deadly Sin #1". Today, I'd like to write about Sloth. Like Pride and Wrath, Sloth is something that I agree can easily lead to undesireable results, and is in general to be avoided. Heck, I've got a bit of a problem with it myself; I'd get a lot more done if I weren't so prone to procrastination. So, sure, let's go ahead and call it a "sin", whatever that may mean. And, of course, just today Georg...

Confessions of an Anonymous Coward: May 2006
http://acoward.blogspot.com/2006_05_01_archive.html
Confessions of an Anonymous Coward. Wednesday, May 31, 2006. I didn't mention in my original post what religion I was a member of. That was intentional. It wasn't really germane to the point of that post, and I didn't want to distract readers with tangential information. However, given that if I don't at some point come out and say what religion I belong to I'm potentially going to have a pointlessly difficult task dancing around the topic in future posts, I may as well go ahead and say it. See you in He...

Confessions of an Anonymous Coward: June 2006
http://acoward.blogspot.com/2006_06_01_archive.html
Confessions of an Anonymous Coward. Tuesday, June 27, 2006. Pride, after all, is what's said to have led to the fall of Lucifer himself. And it gets special place of honor in LDS teachings as a theme of the Book of Mormon. As in the description of the Book of Mormon cycle, humility is often linked with faith in God. To devote oneself to God, to be righteous and keep His commandments, is to be humble, and to be free of pride. After all, if they were really. To be saved. We are the chosen people. Matters o...

Confessions of an Anonymous Coward: November 2006
http://acoward.blogspot.com/2006_11_01_archive.html
Confessions of an Anonymous Coward. Tuesday, November 28, 2006. Behind the Zion Curtain. First of all, I ought to acknowledge that I got the title of this post from Pooflingers Anonymous. I don't know if Matt of PA invented the term, but that's the first place I saw it. (A commenter did use the phrase in a reply to a recent post here. But I had already decided to use it as the title of this post before that.). But apparently my brother had assumed that if I wasn't a Republican I must be a Democrat.).

Confessions of an Anonymous Coward: August 2006
http://acoward.blogspot.com/2006_08_01_archive.html
Confessions of an Anonymous Coward. Friday, August 25, 2006. Okay, it's been far too long since I've made a post here. This isn't for lack of anything I wanted to write about; on the contrary, there are several things I'd been wanting to make posts about. I just haven't had the time. I just started a new job last week, and had to do a lot to prepare for that, and before that there was a convention. I went to earlier this month, and, well, my free time has been at pretty close to zero. The person in quest...
