Purely advertising myself.

Just in case the accidental reader should be interested I also have a great blog all about computing.  More specifically about automating MS Office (Excel, Access etc).  Please pop over to the Zypher-blog.
I (we actually, a friend and I) also have a business site at zypher.co.uk, again please have a browse.
Probably enough self-advertising, for now at least ;o)

I would like to second this...

This, I think is yet another brilliant blog post by the ever so good Jack of Kent.  In it he simply asks why the police haven't strolled in to the Catholic church and started prosecutions.  Anyways, heres the link.

Charles Chilton Moore (1837-1906)

I recently came across this blog and in turn read about Charles Chilton Moore.  It would appear he was possibly one of the first atheist newspapermen.  This in itself may not be all that amazing, but Charles started up his newspaper in Lexington, Kentucky, surely one of the holes in the Bible Belt as VorJack puts it.

Below is what I consider a rather good quote.

Fifteen hundred years ago, Constantine, who murdered his own wife and children, started the Christian religion. 

From that day to this that religion has been the greatest curse that ever afflicted the earth.

This religion teaches that 6,000 years ago God made the first man out of dust – not even mud – and the first woman out of a bone; that God cursed the whole human race because a snake made the woman eat an apple; that God had a son by another man’s wife, and that he had this son murdered in order to keep himself from sending all the human race to hell.

This son taught that any man who did not believe that piece of ignorance and priestly lying would go to hell and burn eternally in fire and brimstone.

The Bible, in which these things are taught, favors drunkenness, murder, slavery, lying, stealing and lechery.

I think I’m a fan.
