Special for Easter

Image
I highly recommend the poem, "A Cowboy's Easter", which you can find here . Also, if you find yourself with some time to spare and feel like examining evidences for the resurrection of Jesus from the dead, you can find that here . By the way, my father died 14 months ago. He was a pastor, and his birthday is on Sunday. I sincerely believe that he would see some humor in that. Have a happy and blessed Resurrection Sunday.

What's So Good About It?

I want to say at the outset that this article will annoy many people because it contains the most inconvenient truths. People won't have the nerve to finish reading it, I'll wager. "How much is that wager, Cowboy Bob?" How about thirty pieces of silver? Welcome to Good Friday. It's called that because that is the day Jesus was crucified for the sins of the world. That's right, I said it! There are people who are desperate to escape dealing with sin and death, so they will say some amazingly ignorant things. They are ignorant of historical records and, it seems, of the ability to think. But I have to admit, it's "good" for us, but it wasn't a good experience for Jesus. Some will say that God does not even exist, but I will not go after that foolishness. (Search this Weblog for "atheist" if you want to see how I show the errors of that concept.) Others will say that Jesus did not really exist. Wishful thinking, perha

Don't Be a Fool

"The fool says in his heart, 'There is no God'..." Psalm 14:1 Buon giorno. Today is April 1. I have been having a good time saying that today is the national holiday for atheists because God calls atheists, "Fools". But what was going to be a simple thing suddenly became more complex as I thought further. Not only is this April Fool's Day, it is also called Holy Thursday; we're in the final days before Easter. You see, a "fool" in Biblical usage is not just someone being, well, stupid. Sure, a fool says that there is no God, but it's more than that. A fool is also lacking in moral fiber. The rest of this verse reads, "... They are corrupt, their deeds are vile; there is no one who does good." Long ago, I learned from a Creationist, "If there's no Creator, you can do what you please. But if there is a Creator, he makes the rules and we'd better find out what he has to say." And I put that to the arrogant

My Apology to Israel

I hope this title is not the name of an obscure movie or rock band. I've been having bad luck on that when I thought I was being creative! Who would have thought that "Fear Factory" was the name of an actual band? So anyway. B. Hussein Obama has not been content with apologizing around the world for American greatness, bowing to governmental officials (including a mayor ), and insulting our allies around the world (I'm still angry about sending back the bust of the great Winston Churchill to Great Britain ), but now he's being downright rude to Netanyahu. Well, this supporter of Israel is angry! Obama is a freakin' loser, and left the Israeli Prime Minister cooling his heels to contemplate the error of his ways while he went to supper with his family. Agonizingly rude. That "stinks on ice"! By the way, I thought that Joe "Big F**king Deal" Biden would show up and offer him a ham sandwich. He's so classy, you know. Aside

What a REAL Inquiry Looks Like

Buona sera. I've been showing you scams and such to give you a warning, and to expose the losers that are doing it. Now I've decided to show you what a real one looks like. Naturally, I'll delete all of the pertinent information. My changes will be in red, the rest will be what the company sent me. In this case, I got an e-mail from one of those that gets impersonated quite a bit, eBay. Remember, this is a real letter. Hello **My Name** ( Valid account name ),------------------------------------------------------------------------------------eBay sent this message to **My Name** ( Valid account name ).

I'm Getting Rich - Again!

Here's the latest scam to hit one of my Inboxes. Note that this lying weasel does not even use an established domain, but is using Netscape.net (which was taken over by AOL several years ago!) and also aim.com. AIM is AOL Instant Messenger's free e-mail service. At the bottom, it looks like the e-mail came from a German site because of the advertising tag line. The headers do not support this. I wonder why spammers and scammers like "three"? Three millions pounds, three million dollars... Once again, I will remind you to never send personal information to strangers, never reply to these things at all (your e-mail address is not validated to them and you'll get even more), if it looks to good to be true, you know that's the case. And I hope you can see through the fake religiousness of this.

Twitter 2: Why I Unfollowed You

Buon giorno. Last time, I discussed why I will not follow some people on Twitter. This time, it's slightly different: Unfollowing. (No, it's not a real word outside of social networking, but it's still useful.) I am not one of those people that needs to have loads of followers to validate my existence; in fact, I trim off the followers. OK, so I've been Twittering, Tweeting, Retweeting (gosh, those terms make me feel so manly...ha!) for a while. Then I see that I'm getting bothered by some of the material that appears before of my eyes. Here are some of the reasons that I may drop my following: Although I knew what I was getting into, someone sends links almost exclusively . Sure, I want news. But not quite that much! It would help if the person had personality instead of acting like some kind of posting bot. They ignore my links . As almost a sub-point to the above, I post some links myself. When I have a new Weblog posting, I'll share the link. When people a
