Regular ‘drop ins’ may have noticed the lack of posts here. Want to know why? I’m just bored with the whole religion thing now.
The experience of setting up the site, writing posts and responding to comments has been a cathartic exercise for me. I’ve got it all out of my system and for now, I’ll leave the writing up to others.
Am I having second thoughts? Absolutely not. In fact, the process has helped me get over any lingering doubts I might have had.
Do I have more tolerance for those who choose to believe in an invisible father figure in the sky? Nope - in fact, I’ve probably got less now. I can have some tolerance for the under 40’s, but anyone - anyone who gets to forty and hasn’t worked it out yet, I just lose patience with.
Our future information provider, Gary the Geek, has found a worrying lack of news from after the early 23rd Century.
He said in a brief garbled phone conversation (he was still trying to get over a photo
of Sydney he found after the devastating floods of 2057 in an Australian newsfeed. See the photo to the right) that so far, he has been unable to find any news ‘css/rssxmtl headers’ - a term he uses to describe the technology used to deliver news in the future - from after September 11th 2201.
He said that it may just be that the technology changes to a new format that he can’t view yet, but we both share the view that the date is ominous…

Gary the Geek has been busy (he says he has a new technique for extracting the future news feed content. Whenever I visit him he seems preoccupied with cat entrails and chicken livers, but I digress…).
From ‘The Florida EvChristian Daily’ newsfeed dated 23rd February 2027.
The University of Saint George W The Redeemer released a press statement today condemning plans to reduce federal funding for smaller prayer universities. The spokesman, His Most Reverent Majestic Knob, said “While we acknowledge that our modest university has not yet received the same blessings from God in areas like medical and mental health breakthroughs we don’t have the same prayer staff.
The large institutions, with their 50,000 plus prayer scientists are obviously able to achieve much more as our blessed Lord takes more notice of them - but we are still able to contribute. Among our notable achievements are the increased rainfall for two consecutive years that has been praised by Kansas wheat farmers who have said that our university saved their farms.
We would strongly object to any funding cuts, after all, a 3.9 billion funding package and tax breaks are chicken feed these days”
Wow. Sounds like the future of the educational system in the US will be interesting to say the least.
Stay tuned for more from the … FUTURE

I was looking at the Feedjit map for this site recently and what visitors are landing on when they arrive here (usually via a Google search) - fully a quarter of them from the majority of the southern states of the US land on two posts - Proof That God does not Exist and You Need More Arguments against Religion?
The first post is still as popular with visitors from Europe, but Billy Conolly’s Take on Religion is nearly as popular - what that tells you about the European sense of humour I’m not sure.
So, what can we deduce from this? Are there a large number of visitors from the US bible-belt who are having doubts about what they have been indoctrinated in?

Another news item has been un-futurized ( his term not mine. I wish I knew how he does it, I could make a fortune at the bookies…) by Gary the Geek:
From ‘The Arkansas Blessed Light’ newsfeed dated 21st October 2052:
The Arkansas Church Court has found two middle aged women guilty of lewd and abominable criminal behaviour. The two perverts were apparently neighbours who were caught in a disgusting situation (the court has censored the details) by one of their husbands.
They received lenient sentences of 17 and 21 years (one was considered to be under the influence of the other) and the husband of one has shown incredible Christian charity by not taking up the permitted flogging option. The other husband made a statement after sentencing of the satan-infected women saying “You know, I was finding it more disturbing every week that the evil harlot would pretend to have headaches and period pain whenever our weekly conjugal sex was scheduled.”
The local Majestic Blessed Pastor of their church also gave evidence that both women had recently refused to participate in their monthly women’s cleansing and instructional seminars at the Pastor’s home.
Stay tuned for more from the … FUTURE
