My opinion of The Eleven Satanic Rules of the Earth

I have been meaning to write a series of posts about Laveyan Satanism. This series will discuss, in equal detail, the benefits and doctrine of Laveyan Satanism. LaVeyan Satanism is a form of non-theistic satanism that was invented by Anton LaVey. I am going to discuss The Eleven Satanic Rules of the Earth in this post.

Special People Club: Dan Dalzell

You know, while I make time to complain about hatemail and what not, I never devote enough time to the truly ’special’ people. People that irritate the piss out of me because they can’t see that their religion is full of shit make me thankful that I have the freedom of thought that I do. In that spirit, here is a page devoted to one truly special person, Dan Dalzell - the former worship minister at my former church. Continue reading ‘Special People Club: Dan Dalzell’

A Rant: The Rebel Flag

I would like to bring up one of the most annoying things about American culture. When I was living in Texas, I often saw the rebel flag on a number of people’s cars, front lawns, et cetra. And when I was working at Jack in the Box, I saw two black people in a truck with a confederate flag sticker as big as their back window pasted on their back window. This is something that greatly irritates me as these people are FUCKING HYPOCRITES. I mean, who really wants to be enslaved by another person (and no, BDSM is much different)? In addition, I have seen a number of people in northern states (like Indiana) use these flags. Continue reading ‘A Rant: The Rebel Flag’

Hate mail: IM from hiii Amberrr

Amber was an old friend of mine from the Xian cult. I tried to IM her to just shoot the breeze, but she desired to be quite homophobic and hateful. She accused me of being a transvestite and assumed that gender was the same as sex. She also made the false claim that I am mentally ill. If you would like to talk to her about her side, her AIM name is revealed below. Continue reading ‘Hate mail: IM from hiii Amberrr’

Creepy Questions from an Old Friend

Sometimes, I think every transsexual gets shockingly inappropriate questions from moronic people and it hurts that even people that you considered friends ask these utterly demeaning and perverted questions. On the day (or maybe the day after) Facebook released the chat features of it’s website - I tried to strike up a conversation with an old friend of mine from Bible Camp (yes, when I was a Xian, I went to Bible camp…). Now, to ensure that he isn’t completely humiliated from my revealing this, I will be kind enough to remove his name. Continue reading ‘Creepy Questions from an Old Friend’

National Day of Silence

Hello, my friends. I would like to let everyone know that effective 12:00am on the 25th of April, I will not respond to any communication (phone calls, e-mails, messages). This is in honour and recognition of the National Day of Silence, a day which is used to resemble the silence that some people tolerate when the topic of homophobia is brought up.

I will be more than happy to respond to your messages and communications after the National Day of Silence. I thank you in advance for your patience and consideration.

Transphobia at Wells Fargo

Well, I had to go deposit my small (1 day of pay) cheque from Telefund into my Wells Fargo chequing account. And no, I could not deposit the cheque because of the type of account I have (Opportunity Chequing Account, because of the fact that I had my identity stolen in the past). And I decided that just for a lark, I would attempt to change my name with the Verified Petition for Name Change that I have. So, I walk into the downtown Wells Fargo branch and then decide to bring the people at the customer service counter my name change petition, in hopes that they would change it. One of them called me ’sir’ and while that did make me sigh, I did tell them that I did not want to be called that nor addressed by male pronouns. So, I waited at the Customer Service counter and they said that it could not be done. Very well, it was worth a try, eh? I was about to put the envelope in my backpack and head to the teller’s window to deposit my meager pay cheque when they proceeded to call me sir. And this is where it begins.

RTD Now Provided on Google Transit

Tired of waiting forever to get directions on riding RTD? Tired of the constant issues with RTD’s website? Well, I have found out that RTD is now providing it’s service maps and data to Google in their Google Transit programme. In fact, they symbolically started on Earth Day. I believe this is a vast improvement because I will be able to use the powerful search features of Google (which I favour a lot more than RTD’s own website) to plan my transit trips. However, Google Transit is showing a bad habit to push Express and Regional transfers for trips that can be taken on local buses. I will write an e-mail to Google’s development team in order to address this issue. This is a big thing because the word is that RTD is quite slow to adapt to techology. Once, I was talking to Gerri Castro at RTD, about the EcoPass programme and she made a statement about RTD’s inability to adapt to new technology that made it seem quite apt.

Becoming a UU minister

I am considering becoming a minister with the Unitarian Universalist church. And I plan to go to Naropa University to get the degree that would allow me to become a minister at a UU church (a Master’s of Divinity is required). Now, I am a relatively sane person and I espouse no belief in a god. Why would I want to join the Unitarian Universalist church, much less become a minister in the UU church? Well, I have a number of personal reasons but the main reason that attracted me is that they do not espouse any homophobia or transphobia. In fact a number of Unitarian Universalists are understanding, awesome people that I love to congregate with. Every UU congregation I have attended has had some of the warmest, funniest people that I have ever met. Continue reading ‘Becoming a UU minister’

You are going to hell!

I get that phrase all the time. It is the short form of “You are going to hell because you do not believe as I believe”. Or “You are going to hell because you are a male-to-female transsexual and refuse to respect the perfection of god’s work/plan/etc”. Or even “You are going to hell because you had sex with another transsexual and this is an abomination in the eyes of the lord!”. There are a number of other variations that I will ultimately cover below, but I would like to tell you right now that I am not going to hell. In fact, I do not believe that there is even a hell, so telling me that I am going to someplace that I don’t even believe exists is not a way to ‘win me over’ to your side.
