• Corona Fest - Tulsa

  by Gail Dobson June 19, 2020
  TOB is holding a "SARS-CoV-2 express" (Corona Fest) rally in Tulsa tomorrow. He was going to do it today (June 19th, Juneteenth) but some of his people convinced him that wasn't a good idea. Holding a rally at the site of a murderous race riot about 100 years ago is questionable to everyone except a...

• Hello Monday 5 May 2020

  by Gail Dobson May 4, 2020
  Hello Monday. Stats in this area are showing a slight improvement, or maybe just leveling out a bit. A (incomplete - edit 5/5/20) government report that current administration is ignoring says it expects (based on current estimates) a large increase beginning mid-May to June 1, while the administrat...

• Same Storm, Different Boats - FB Paste

  by Gail Dobson May 1, 2020
  I saw this from a Facebook notice, but FB wouldn't allow non-members to read. I think it's a great message for all of us. I've copied and pasted it here. Had trouble with formatting so if it looks weird, it's my fault, LOL.   QUOTE:   Peggy Roche-rhodes 22 hrs -   After listenin...

• Good Day Friday.

  by Gail Dobson April 17, 2020
  Good day Friday. I don't understand people being bored in their own homes. There is so much you can do that you have maybe never done. Evaluate you -- really think about who and what you are. Watch the sun rise or set, or both. Watch the colors of the sky, the shadows on your environment change...

• On Bullying, Awareness, Acceptance, Tolerance

  by Gail Dobson March 10, 2019
  Suddenly, yesterday(?) I was accused of being a 'bully'! It kinda shocked me at first, but as the accuser's narrative expanded and spread, it turns out that I am really a 'bully' because I speak my mind. My heart, my mind does not follow the standard religious dogma of ANY religion. I have never hid...

• I Believe

  by Gail Dobson February 18, 2019
  “I believe that the universe was formed around 15 billion years ago and that humans have evolved from their apelike ancestors over the past few million years. I believe we are more likely to live a good life if all humans try to work together in a world community, preserving planet earth. &nb...

• Tough Funeral - Henry Stanco

  by Gail Dobson January 15, 2019
  That is a terrible event to endure. I am sorry to hear of such tragedy for the parents and rest of the family. You don't say whether that family is also 'Christian' or a different belief system. If 'Christian', maybe you could pick and choose as you feel most fitting from Baker Funeral Handbook. Pag...

• Speak Up For What's Right

  by Gail Dobson December 18, 2018
  Always speak up for what's right. When we fail to do that, when we are too apathetic to take action to stand up for what we know is right, we allow our world to deteriorate. We've done this before in history.   Must we continue? NO. Write your representative, organize peaceful protests, ...

• Atheism is Not a Dirty Word

  by Gail Dobson November 30, 2018
  Regarding 'No Religion' blog post - the word 'atheist' itself is misleading and should not even be necessary in our vernacular. We don't have a word for someone who doesn't believe in fairies, dragons, Santa, Easter Bunny, or Bigfoot.    Until fairly recently here in the U.S. a common s...

• Happy Thanksgiving!!

  by Gail Dobson November 22, 2018
  Today especially, we give thanks to the firefighters in California, to the military service members protecting us across the globe, to the law enforcement personnel of all stripes and agencies protecting us (as best they can) from lawlessness, to the farmers and transporters who bring our food to ou...

• Email Phishing (with extortion attempt)

  by Gail Dobson October 16, 2018
  Hacked my email, took screenshot with my device's camera of me visiting, and getting excited over, questionable sites apparently, pay about $500 in bitcoin within 50 days or "all my contacts" will receive copies of said files! It is hilarious -- but I fear someone may fall for it. It is not rea...

• One God

  by Gail Dobson October 11, 2018
  "God" is One, not 3. Oookay, 1x1x1=1 whereas 1+1+1=3, agreed. God is and has always been One -- when he was creating the heavens & earth, land & water, day & night, man & beast, and all that -- he was a single entity (no Jesus, no holy ghost? or those "aspects" were within but silent?); how did that...

• Separation Church and State

  by Gail Dobson October 1, 2018
  Our Constitution clearly establishes the notion that religious beliefs have no place in our laws or government. Our "founding fathers" were of several different beliefs and were aware of the problems caused by religious dissension among the populace, as well as as a result of a "state" sanctioned "o...

• Commanded to Be Perfect

  by Gail Dobson October 1, 2018
   I've kinda thought C. Hitchens was throwing hyperbole when he said we are commanded by Jesus to be perfect. I now know he was not exaggerating. We cannot be perfect. We just do the best we can each day, some of us relying on the guidance found within ourselves (treat others as you want to be t...

• Alan Turing (Gay & Atheist) Father of Computer Science

  by Gail Dobson September 27, 2018
  Alan Turing , known as the father of computer science or just the father of computers, was also gay and an atheist. When I posted a "meme" stating that anyone who uses a computer should thank this man, the comments revealed confusion as to how his beliefs or sexual orientation were related to h...

• Omnipotent God

  by Gail Dobson September 2, 2018
  In reading, re-reading, and pondering the Bible over the years, I have many questions on many aspects of it. We were raised in a Lutheran household and made to attend Sunday school each week. I didn't mind; I thought of it like school; I enjoyed learning new things (and still do). Somehow what I was...
