Welcome to 2013

So, we survived Dec 21st, I think we were all expecting that.

Just thought I would do a quick blog update, It seems 2012 must have been a quiet year for me, as no posts. I will try and make this a different year, I have a number of Atheist issues and topics I want to hit on.

One of the issues is journos who are quick to call "Bull Shit" on governments, local councils, business etc.. but are also out in their devotion to Jesus and religion, how is it these people can take a critical look at the government’s economic policy, social policy what their local big business are up to, yet at the same time sing the praises of a serial mass murderer. I am sure they do not see their god in the same light I do, but that is my issue, have they actually bothered to read the policies of the god they choose to follow?

State funded religious schools is something I also want to look at, Wanganui Collegiate School has joined the ranks of state funded religious schools, but is it faith based? Is it fair to publicly fund a school that is not actually need by the state education system, the area is already well catered for with public schools.

I will also cover the "Bible in Schools" issue that is currently finding headline thanks to NZARH and the face book group https://www.facebook.com/home.php#!/KeepReligionOutOfSchoolNZ

I also want to talk about Christian Camps and their impact on NZ Culture, I had the displeasure of finding myself in one recently, I was only there for a few minutes, but the place felt sinister.

Ok, well better get back to work, break over.
