meet 'Free Mondays'

so the beautiful val and i decided that we would join the rest of the planet (well, those doing it) and move meat-free thursdays to meat-free mondays and would like to invite you to do the same... why you ask? well a bunch of reasons - one is being aware of the impact that meat-eating has to the planet and that if everyone just took one day off eating it, the positive impact it would [...]

you made me so angry, oh wait no you didn't

i have a hypothesis which is like a zoologist student's big masters year essay on 4000-8000 lbs river-dwelling creatures that are responsible for more deaths per year than lions... but that's a different story... what i want to suggest to you today is that no-body in the world has the ability to make me angry "but brett, that just isn't true, i've watched you play hockey" "silence, in-fidelllll i kill you" thankx achmed, but i'll take [...]

i'd rather you were an atheist than a 'christian'

so, once we get past the mindless comments of people responding to the blog title and not actually reading it, what am i on about? if you haven't read my other blog about the christians choosing to become atheist (http://brettfish.wordpress.com/2010/09/13/a-theist-walks-into-an-atheist-bigbang-its-a-steel-atheist) i would suggest you begin there, cos this is a (s)equal of sorts... so in the context of finding out that one of my church peoples had turned atheist over the varsity holidays, i have [...]

a theist walks into an atheist… (big)bang – it's a steel atheist

'a theist believes in at least one god, but denies the existence of many gods' [the skeptic's dictionary] whereas an atheist denies the existence of god completely and 'at heist' is just a case of being in the wrong place at the wrong time, but that's not important now... a theist and an atheist - so vastly different and yet the difference between them is nothing... or 'a space' to be more precise... [disclaimer: oh [...]

being a Christ-follower is like crossing the street

so kleinfrans (who isn't so) asked me to post the 8 slash 9 oops points from last nite's preach on joshua in my blog so here they are: i started with deuteronomy 34 vs 10-12 dealing with the death of moses i then read from joshua 1.1-9, 1.12-18, 2.1-21, 5.13-15 and 6.1-27 [1] don't let the ghosts of the past cripple you - be you! [moses was described as being one of the greatest men [...]

for the sake of the chores part ii

ah bless (as they would say in the englandited kingdom) it seems the thing about not being able to read tone from an email (so don't ever have an argument via email - go live, really - meaning received quickly becomes not meaning sent) applies to blogs too yesterday's bermuda time triangle in marriage thort which i had intended as a light-hearted whimsical tongue-in-cheek adrian mole/adrian plass type "where's-the-time" montage was interpreted as a serious [...]

for the sake of the chores

so i have been married for about 14 months yesterday and i still completely highly recommend it if it is to the right person - it is not always easy - it is sometimes really hard - but it is incredible and the pros definitely outbeat-up-and-leave-bleeding-behind-the-shed the cons... and i love the beautiful Val - really feel privileged and lucky and amazed that i have someone like her in my life... yay. the one thing [...]
