About Alan Burkhart

I consider myself a free thinker and as such, I'm skeptical of just about everything. I've discovered over the years that the truth is often found in the unlikeliest of places. I don't claim to be an expert on anything. But I do enjoy sharing my thoughts. Your thoughts are of course welcome as well.

Biblical Bullshit

No BS

I could laugh at these people and dismiss them out of hand. But they’re winning elections around the country and pushing for laws to force-feed their bullshit religion to our youth in public schools. All in the name of “religious freedom.” The Evangelical Right is little better than a terrorist group. They’re louder and more belligerent with each passing day. I am not ashamed to say that these freaks scare the bejabbers out of me.

Them Changes

Like the song says, “Well my mind is going through them changes.” And yeah we all change as we get older. But I never thought I’d see some of the changes I’ve experienced. I’m not talking about wrinkles and poor eyesight. I find myself looking at the world and the people in it a lot differently.

True Or False?

I am so sick of all the BS being churned out by both the far Left and the far Right. Both lie to their followers, and at the same time they’re lying about each other as well. Where does one go to find the truth of any issue? With all the lies and hyperbole spread on the Internet and in the media, how do we know the truth when / if we actually see it?

Would You Kill For God?

Man with chains on wristsI hear it and see it all the time: Christians claiming that God “tells them” or “guides them” in some way. Usually they describe it as a strong feeling from within. On social media I see all these declarations about how people want God to guide them and protect them. It’s sickening to see people abasing themselves before a non-existent tyrant in hopes of currying favor. And whether they realize it or not, that’s all they’re (you’re?) doing. Continue reading

Whatever Happened To Women’s Rights?

Women are caught in a political tug of war between conservatives who’d take away their reproductive rights, and liberals who apparently think men can be women if they so desire. Women who do not wish to compete against (or share locker rooms with) biological males are called bigots and worse. Never mind the fact that these so-called trans-women are generally bigger and stronger than the women they compete against in track, swimming, wrestling, etc. Real, biological women are not allowed to complain. Whatever happened to the days when Democrats were all about women’s rights? Continue reading

Ghosts Of Eagles Past

Green Iguana

Humanity, as I have said before is a failed species. We’re circling the drain. And we’re taking a lot of animal life with us. Good old Planet Earth will be fine. She’ll just shrug her powerful shoulders and we’ll slide away into oblivion. We won’t even be a memory. Continue reading

Whose Holiday Is It Anyway?

Santa - Full moonOK, Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukka and a Cheerful Winter Solstice to all. I personally decided this year to just let the whole “Holiday Season” pass me by with as little drama as possible. I’m stocked up on groceries so no need to deal with the crazy-long checkout lines at Kroger. And you can bet your butt I’m not getting anywhere near Walmart anytime soon. Continue reading

Things That Burn My Ass

Happy Holidays Y’all!
It’s November and here we go again. Every time the holiday season rolls around arrogant, uninformed Christians start insisting that “Jesus is the reason for the season.” Here and now, fully a week before Thanksgiving, I’m seeing memes on Facebook about “It’s Merry Christmas, not Happy Holidays.” They seem to not notice that there are THREE holidays coming up. Can I not wish you happiness for all three? Or am I supposed to itemize a list? WTF do you people expect?! Continue reading

God’s Women

One of the most irksome things (to me at least) about the Abrahamic religions is its deeply-rooted misogyny. These religions started out dominated by men, and women ended up being the scapegoats for all of man’s weaknesses. Eve supposedly tempted Adam in the garden, so the fall of humanity and the expulsion from the Garden must be the fault of women. And never mind the fact that sex and immodesty were considered taboo. Once Adam and Eve ate the forbidden fruit, they straightaway stitched some fig leaves together to cover themselves. How the heck is it wrong for a husband and wife to see each other naked?
