So the SSA at EKU is currently going through some issues as well as a (still) pending name change. All of which are currently making us sit still in the water taking any "blows" that come to us. Which is fine since we all know how to receive them and not turn our beliefs into a case of Martyrdom.Ummm, maybe not.I was going to save this post until everything got cleared up, but it's a Thursday

So the week following the Secular Coalitions (Forever now to be renamed the Secular Student Alliance at EKU) chalking campaign got media attention, the Campuses' Christian affiliated groups (most notably Cru) have decided to go all out with their chalking. What once was plain, old, hell-condemning chalk is now bright, positive, and attention grabbing advertisements from those groups.I find this

So here we are again, after such a long time without posting. I am not going to apologize because really, who am I apologizing too besides myself?Anyhow, while I am as busy as ever, I hope to be able to start posting regularly as I now have so much more to talk about.Mainly what I have to talk about coincides with the fact that I am now President of EKU's Secular Coalition (soon to be renamed SSA

So between loosing countless hours of sleep, I find that the schedule I picked out for myself is a bit too much, but I'll stick with it, I just ask that you stick with me as posts may be few and far between. As soon as I get caught up however, I have SO much I'd like to post on. Much has happened over the last few weeks, and I'd love to write about a lot of it.But first, I have to read "Guns,

The title is just the preface of a negative stereotype against Christians. A stereotype that is usually not too hard to prove somewhat correct, true, but a stereotype nonetheless. However, there are exceptions, and when these exceptions come out in the public eye, it is even more exceptional.I had a somewhat long Facebook status conversation with an old high school friend and fellow Chess Team

It's been a stressing week here at home and I am ready for the new semester more than ever. I have two Anthropology classes lined up: Physical and Human Society. I have Ant of Human society with a visiting professor that I have heard great things about and Physical Anthropology with a professor that's been at the university for a long time and about with which I have previously spoke with and sat

So I'm back in the warm recesses of my hometown for Christmas Holiday break, and having a pretty good, boring time. I've managed to beat Kingdom Hearts 358/2 days and get some reading done. It's good to get away from campus, but things tend to get rather boring in my hometown.Anyhow, I know I promised a quality post last Thursday, but some things came up and I had to leave earlier than expected,

This past week has been super busy for me, so I apologize for my lack of posting. Finals week starts tomorrow and I was lucky enough to be able to take all my finals within 3 days, so Thursday I'll have a good post up here to read.Right now however, I must get back to studying. But, as promised (even though it's a little late) here is my Anthropology Essay that I received a 92 on (which is good

Still busy studying for finals, but since I've had my head in my Geography book all day I figured why not share my thoughts on the whole AGW "conspiracy unveiled" emails.In case you have no idea what it is I'm talking about, this video should explain the issue as well as the obvious debunking of it.Now, it's probably not surprising that I believe this is a non-issue. It's simple quote mining by

So I have plenty on my mind I could write about, but instead of writing about any of that interesting stuff, I feel like saying a few words about the title I chose for this blog.I realize it could probably come across as a religious title, that "Great Man" could mean 'God' and Genesis could be referring to the bible. Let me say that this is not the case. Strangely, I did not even think it could

So I was talking on facebook today and a friend suggested a book for me to read. Well, that's all fine and good, and it seems like I would like it...but it got me thinking about the long line of books I've yet to read. I am also a pretty slow reader as well when it comes to certain books, like factual books, like the majority of which make up my list of books I need to read. Anyhow, because of

So it's the day after, and everyone is talking about President Obama's choice to extend the war in Afghanistan. Okay, so I want the war to end as much as the next person, but I have to say, I understand and agree with his reasoning. And I think he'll be able to pull off his goal of ending the war within three months after the new year.Why you ask?Well, 30,000 troops is a big number. And sure,

It feels good to finally have a place to let loose the crazy monsters in my head. Expect to see long, long, long posts containing just about anything, but mostly consisting of course material from my current classes and my take on it, or just whatever is on my mind.If you want some info about me apart from what I've put up already, I'm a liberal free thinker (aka Atheist) who is a Freshmen at
