Heather's Ramblings: October 2009
http://spoonheim.blogspot.com/2009_10_01_archive.html
Monday, October 12, 2009. On Science and Religion. Too many Christians these days are trying to reconcile their faith with science. “Maybe science is the how, and God is the why,” they will say. Unfortunately this makes them very poor Christians and even worse scientists, for religion and science are mutually exclusive. Links to this post. Links to this post. I believe that there are people who have seen unidentified flying objects which cannot be readily explained by documented natural phenomena or publ...

Just Some Atheist Guy: January 2012
http://justsomeatheistguy.blogspot.com/2012_01_01_archive.html
Just Some Atheist Guy. Just some atheist guy and his blog. Thursday, January 26, 2012. I don't think I can count the number of times I've had someone tell me incredulously, "It's amazing! You're really a nice guy even though you're an atheist! It's great that you're so open minded, especially since you're an atheist! And my favorite, "You seem so happy and morally sound for an atheist! Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile. Other Places of Interest. Rational Examination...

Just Some Atheist Guy: Godless but Not Alone
http://justsomeatheistguy.blogspot.com/2013/04/godless-but-not-alone.html
Just Some Atheist Guy. Just some atheist guy and his blog. Wednesday, April 10, 2013. Godless but Not Alone. A little over a year ago I found myself unemployed and staring at an uncertain future, not knowing how, if, or when I would ever see a steady income again. It was a very dark time. I am an atheist, happy, godless, and never alone. :-). June 1, 2013 at 12:43 AM. June 2, 2013 at 4:27 PM. I had my own bout with the bottom. Glad you found the strength to pull out.

Heather's Ramblings: November 2009
http://spoonheim.blogspot.com/2009_11_01_archive.html
Friday, November 13, 2009. Sometimes the Thought Doesn’t Count. A blind friend of mine told me a story. A Good Samaritan spotted him standing about fifteen feet from an intersection, listening to the traffic. The Samaritan rushed to his aid, grabbing his right elbow and wrist to help him to the corner and across the street. Rather than apologize, the Samaritan simply huffed and said, “Well try to help some people out and what do you get? Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Heather's Ramblings: April 2011
http://spoonheim.blogspot.com/2011_04_01_archive.html
Saturday, April 30, 2011. The Bitterness of Loss. A narrative essay by – Heather Spoonheim. When you swallow your loss the moment you pull those chips off of your stack then you will realize that folding doesn’t cost you a thing. With each round of betting you need to evaluate the revealed odds, consider the total prize available in the pot, and determine how much you are now willing to risk for that total prize. You just cannot factor loss into your evaluation at that point. Links to this post. Unable t...

Heather's Ramblings: January 2011
http://spoonheim.blogspot.com/2011_01_01_archive.html
Saturday, January 29, 2011. The free online dictionary (http:/ www.thefreedictionary.com/) defines civilization as “An advanced state of intellectual, cultural, and material development in human society, marked by progress in the arts and sciences, the extensive use of record-keeping, including writing, and the appearance of complex political and social institutions.”. This definition opens the door to lengthy debate. How would we categorize hours spent sleeping? How would we categorize time spent prepar...

Heather's Ramblings: May 2010
http://spoonheim.blogspot.com/2010_05_01_archive.html
Sunday, May 23, 2010. First Impressions of Quebec. It’s been twenty years since I spent more than a few days in Quebec. The last time I was here I was traveling though, and so most of my interaction was with hotel staff and gas station attendants who were used to dealing with traveling Anglophones. Now I have strayed from the beaten path and started delving into the neighbourhood grocery stores, depanneurs, and other public venues where the regular Quebecers hang out. Links to this post.

Heather's Ramblings: The Islamic Threat
http://spoonheim.blogspot.com/2011/05/islamic-threat.html
Tuesday, May 31, 2011. A narrative essay by – Heather Spoonheim. It has, of late, become impossible to compare or contrast the Abrahamic religions without encountering the theatrics of fear-mongering Islamophobes. Coherent dialogue rapidly becomes a phantom as emotional pleas propel themselves up slippery slopes, launching into nationalistic tirades. The greatest trick of the labyrinth lay in the abstractly, yet inextricably bound concepts of religion, culture, and government. We were told that we weren&...
