http://billcooney.blogspot.com/2010/06/joe-scarboroughconstructive.html
Living Without God—A Life of Reason. Exploring the richness of godlessness, rational thinking, and life itself. Sunday, June 13, 2010. Joe Scarborough—Constructive Conservative. A recent blog post on RedState.com. Is Joe Scarborough Out of Touch with Conservative Ascendancy? Conservative—on nearly every major policy issue. Yet he is cast as a kind of traitor to the conservative cause because he won't join in the profanity parade being grand marshaled by El Rushbo, Sarah Palin, Glenn (oligark! Joe Scarbor...

http://billcooney.blogspot.com/2010/09/remembering-mary.html
Living Without God—A Life of Reason. Exploring the richness of godlessness, rational thinking, and life itself. Wednesday, September 1, 2010. Mary deserved that last joyful reunion with her friends. Her life was difficult. She gave us all the gift of herself. And when it was over, it was we who took a lesson from her about the preciousness—and brevity—of life. Thank you for being such a good sister. Wednesday, September 01, 2010. Sunday, September 12, 2010 7:37:00 PM. It sounds like you were able to cele...

Living Without God—A Life of Reason. Exploring the richness of godlessness, rational thinking, and life itself. Sunday, July 4, 2010. Fenway Park: Now That's Baseball! It took me a long time to get there, but I can finally check off "gong to. Park to see a Red. Game" from my bucket list. No, I'm not really about to kick the bucket, but don't we all construct a sort of bucket list as we go through life anyway? Being a Yankees fan, the legendary charm of. Banger Kevin (You Kill Us). Obliged, lining a shot ...

Living Without God—A Life of Reason: Sharron (Always Looking for an) Angle:Ill-Tempered, Ill-Equipped

Living Without God—A Life of Reason. Exploring the richness of godlessness, rational thinking, and life itself. Wednesday, June 30, 2010. Sharron (Always Looking for an) Angle:. Let the double-talking opportunism begin: Dismantle Social Security. No, privatize Social Security. No, personalize. What I meant was take him out of office. (Yeah, with Second Amendment remedies? The foregoing represents a mere sampling of the kind of double-talk Ms. Angle has engaged in since winning the nomination and tryi...

Living Without God—A Life of Reason: Bullying: Nowhere to Turn?
http://billcooney.blogspot.com/2010/07/bullying-nowhere-to-turn.html
Living Without God—A Life of Reason. Exploring the richness of godlessness, rational thinking, and life itself. Monday, July 26, 2010. Bullying: Nowhere to Turn? It's one of those things that's difficult to define, but we know it when we see it. Or do we? The youthful scourge of bullying has proven a very difficult monster to tame. It seems the more this phenomenon is studied, the more nebulous its core characteristics become, which is in fact where much of the problem lies. The conspiracy of denial must...

Living Without God—A Life of Reason: Dog House Days
http://billcooney.blogspot.com/2010/10/dog-house-days.html
Living Without God—A Life of Reason. Exploring the richness of godlessness, rational thinking, and life itself. Thursday, October 28, 2010. Every once in a while I still manage to commit the kind of vile atrocities that will occasionally land me in that most dishonorable of destinations—the Dog House. It's a place we sometimes unthinking husbands and fathers are all too familiar with. Didn't start dinner before she got home? To the Dog House. Didn't do the pots and pans? One reason may be that the affect...

Living Without God—A Life of Reason: Stephen, Remembered
http://billcooney.blogspot.com/2010/10/stephen-remembered.html
Living Without God—A Life of Reason. Exploring the richness of godlessness, rational thinking, and life itself. Monday, October 18, 2010. It will soon be 30 years since he died, and yet Stephen's memory remains incredibly vivid. He was just 28 years young when sadness, sickness and hopelessness moved him to desperation. But despite the crude reality of Stephen's ultimate self immolation, his enduring legacy is poignantly life-affirming. Monday, October 18, 2010. Saturday, November 06, 2010 11:42:00 AM.

Living Without God—A Life of Reason: Dignity's Demands
http://billcooney.blogspot.com/2010/09/dignitys-demands.html
Living Without God—A Life of Reason. Exploring the richness of godlessness, rational thinking, and life itself. Friday, September 17, 2010. It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was—oh, who the fuck was I kidding? To fend off the rain, and proceeded to hitch hike the remaining thirty miles. And with his silently abrupt, no theatrics exit, Steve said more to Uncle Joe than he would have had he stayed in the car and verbally flo...

Living Without God—A Life of Reason: Turning the Tables
http://billcooney.blogspot.com/2010/06/turning-tables.html
Living Without God—A Life of Reason. Exploring the richness of godlessness, rational thinking, and life itself. Thursday, June 17, 2010. What is it about my face that tells some people, "By all means, share your wisdom with me; tell me why I need a god in my life.". The second time it happened—just a few weeks later—I felt violated. "No, no. That's quite all right. You keep your Jesus magazine to yourself, and do have a nice day.". Not so pleasant stare! As time went on, my guard instinctively went up wh...

Living Without God—A Life of Reason. Exploring the richness of godlessness, rational thinking, and life itself. Sunday, February 13, 2011. The syndrome is marked by the denial of abuse by one’s captors and the staunch defense of one’s captors for all manor of psychological reasons. Oddly, an emotional bonding often occurs between captor and captive, abuser and abused; sometimes even between rapist and rape victim. Sunday, February 13, 2011. Tuesday, March 01, 2011 10:03:00 AM. Im going through this depro...
