Gender-Neutral Restrooms- How to Ruin a Good Idea

Today’s article tackles the subject of gender-neutral restrooms. This is a serious issue that I’m attempting to honestly work through. I’ll do my best to convey the pros and cons of each viewpoint without resorting to strawman arguments. In today’s uber political climate nuance is not always appreciated, so I can only assume many people will be upset by this article simply for my attempt to see both sides fairly. Such is life.

As always I attempt to bring some levity to the article so please do your best not to be offended. If you find yourself offended please read the entire article before casting judgment. Once you’ve done that feel free to lob any and all complaints my way via Twitter @MrBurritoBowl or in the comments.

I also venture into the cold, unforgiving waters of discussing concerns for safety with concerns over the treatment of the transgender community. I’m sure that will go super well for me.

Anyway. Let’s get to it. Continue reading “Gender-Neutral Restrooms- How to Ruin a Good Idea”

On God Part V.II- Heaven, Hell and the Mind-numbing Prospect of Eternity

This is On God Part V.II, confusingly enough. Initially, Part V was just one mega-post, but considering nobody gives a shit about this blog, it felt too long. That being said, it’s now broken up into two only semi-long posts. This one is mostly about eternity. I think eternity is real fun in a bizarre and horrifying type of way. Forever will happen whether we’re around for it or not.

So, for On God Part V.II, I want to explore eternity. Remember from Part V.I, for this post, the Bible is 100% true. Typically people argue the individual points in the Bible- “Jesus walked on water!” “No, he didn’t!” But today I just want to accept the puzzle pieces laid out by mainstream Christianity and put them together from there. Then we can think about eternity for a few minutes.

Let’s get to it. Continue reading “On God Part V.II- Heaven, Hell and the Mind-numbing Prospect of Eternity”

On God Part V.I- Heaven, Hell and the Mind-Numbing Prospect of Eternity

Today I want to talk about what happens after we die. You might be wondering why I’m even talking about what happens after we die since On God Part III is all about the afterlife. Your question is noted and ignored. This post is ALSO about the afterlife, but totally different. Here I’ll concentrate on who makes it into heaven, who gets sent to hell, and the mind-numbing prospect of eternity.

The mind-numbing prospect of eternity section will have to wait for On God Part V.II because this post ballooned to over 5,000 words, so I decided to break it up. This is Part I of a two-part post, which is already Part V of a larger rabbit hole I’m taking from my usual topics, which already can best be described as rabbit holes. Thanks for being readers of my financial blog, you guys. Continue reading “On God Part V.I- Heaven, Hell and the Mind-Numbing Prospect of Eternity”
