Throughout Easter and a Lent, I did a lot of what my friend Jason called "High Intellectual" articles.
I'm never making that mistake ever again.
However, since it did have some interesting fan support.... if "fans" could be people screaming for your blood ... I figured I'd put it into a nice, compact little section on the blog. Think of it as a season in review that, with luck, I'll never inflict on anyone ever again.
The Snarky Theology series. My way of translating dogmatic theology into something that human beings can understand.
Snarky Theology 1: Catholic Cannibals. Looking at the theology of Swallow the leader. Eating your deity.
Snarky Theology 2: FAQs about Lent. Some fun facts about Lent that turned into a minor war.
GOD H8TS JAPAN; Twitting with Phelps & Co. Hint, it was published on 4-1-11
Snarky Theology 5: The Passion, Jews, and Good Friday.
Snarky Theolgy 6: Easter: HE IS RISEN
The Guest Blog Index -- "Catholic fiction"-- I had two weeks off from Snarky theology for two virtual book
tours. One was a bit of Sherlock Holmes with Murder in the Vatican
, and some Catholic science fiction from Karina Fabian's Infinite Space, Infinite God II
Murder in the Vatican Author Margaret Ann Lewis.
Guest blog (on writing historical figures in fiction) and Interview (on writing a book on Sherlock Holmes and Pope Leo XIII), and a Review of Murder in the Vatican, which can be found at Amazon.com
I did the same for Karina Fabian.
The Guest blog: where she talks about writing religion and science fiction
The interview, where I unleash my inner nerdom ...
And a review.
I think that was the most fun I had had that Lent. They were both a joy and a pleasure to have.
Evil Religions
And, at the end of may, when the Easter season was almost over, I did a series I call, simply "Evil Religion." The title, for the record, was Ironic. It wound up covering a lot of atheist theology. Not sure why. Maybe because the Dawkins-Hitchens crowd tend to whine alot.
Anti-theist complaints: Literal interpretations. I asked my friend Matt what he thought was wrong with religion. I answered him. This was pretty much a series all it's own from here on in.
Doctrine Crapshoot. Because everything is just pick and choose, right?
Religious Superiority complexes: Because religion is the source of egomania, after all.
Conform, or else.... because no one ever goes against a secular norm.
Can you understand why this blog is now all nerd-dom all the time? This was a draining, wrenching experience. One that I never want to relive.

The Flame war is postponed:While I was busy having a flame war with an idiot on the blog, someone did something stupid online. I fought back in the name of all sane people everywhere.
Snarky theology 3: Evolution, Creationists, and other Irritants. Evolution, what is it good for? My answer: who cares?
Snarky Theology 4: "Things that go boink in the night." Catholicism on Sex and Gays Pretty much what it says.Snarky theology 3: Evolution, Creationists, and other Irritants. Evolution, what is it good for? My answer: who cares?

I had a Preface to explain the premise
The Ten commandments of Atheism, if I wrote them
Anti-theist complaints: Literal interpretations. I asked my friend Matt what he thought was wrong with religion. I answered him. This was pretty much a series all it's own from here on in.
Indoctrination of Children. Because religious education is brain washing, don't you know?
Doctrine Crapshoot. Because everything is just pick and choose, right?Religious Superiority complexes: Because religion is the source of egomania, after all.
Random Beliefs. Because it's all so random, you know?
Conform, or else.... because no one ever goes against a secular norm.
Evil Atheist / Religion, Conclusion. This is where I tie it all together.
