Freethinker Sunday Sermonette: The Abrahamic religions

By revere on January 4, 2009.

It's time once again for the inimitable Marcus Brigstocke on The Abrahamic Religions. Yes, I know we've done it before, but some of you may have missed it and those who have seen it will get to see it again because you can't see stuff like this too often. Especially when two of the main Abrahamic religions are duking it out and doing their best to kill innocent people because they are of a different tribe:

Kudos to Firedog Lake and Huffington Post for keeping the brutal slaughter in Gaza in front of us where we have to see it.

Brilliant! Thanks for bringing it to my attention.

All I can say is, Amen brother!! Thanks so much for this moment of sanity!

A note tacked to the door

May 17, 2010

The lights are out at Effect Measure. It is closed and locked. No one is there any more. So consider this a note tacked on the door. I had always intended to leave it as a way to connect you with The Pump Handle and that's still its purpose. But now I feel compelled to add a thank you note as well…

We bid you farewell

It's been a long time coming but the time has come. Effect Measure is closing up shop, after 5 and a half years, 3 million visits and 5.1 million page views of some 3500. You commented on them some 37,000 times. It's been a grand ride but to all things there is a season. It's time to simplify my…

Freethinker Sunday Sermonette: summing up

May 16, 2010

I shall die, but that is all that I shall do for Death. I hear him leading his horse out of the stall; I hear the clatter on the barn-floor. He is in haste; he has business in Cuba, business in the Balkans, many calls to make this morning. But I will not hold the bridle while he clinches the girth…

Blog matters: who is "revere"?

When I was young (high school, college) I had a variety of jobs, including golf caddy (cured me of golf for the rest of my life; there were no carts, just an 11 year old lugging two bags with 16 clubs over 18 holes) and paper boy (4 am on Sundays hauling 80 huge Sunday papers in a wagon; took about…
