Before that, I wrote the daily blog on MySpace for about another two years. That\u2019s a lot of blogs. Within the past few days, I have been reminded about some of my older blog entries that I really love. So I thought today, I would talk about some of those blog entries.<\/p>\n<p>Before I get started, I wanted to say that one of the reasons why I started blogging was so I wouldn\u2019t have to keep addressing the same topics over and over again. I could simply use Dangerous Talk as a resource and point people to blog entries I wrote on the topic already.<\/p>\n<p>A few days ago, a fellow atheist started to tell me about how a small group of wealthy families have been trying to take over the world and create a \u201cNew World Order.\u201d I immediately referred him to a blog entry I wrote awhile back. I thought about writing a new entry about it, but after re-reading what I had previously wrote, I didn\u2019t think I could top it or add anything new to it. So I want to share that blog entry: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.dangeroustalk.net\/?p=671\" target=\"_blank\">The New World Order is Coming for You!<\/a><\/p>\n<p>During my <a href=\"http:\/\/www.examiner.com\/atheism-in-philadelphia\/five-questions-for-christians\" target=\"_blank\">Examiner exchange<\/a> with Stephen Drain, he imagined that I said that all Christians were stupid. I told him repeatedly that not only did I not say that, don\u2019t think that is true, and that I actually wrote a blog entry about it. So I want to share that today also: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.dangeroustalk.net\/?p=514\" target=\"_blank\">Are Religious Believers Stupid?<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Over the weekend, I got into a debate with a friend on facebook about Alcoholics Anonymous. The debate largely took place on my brother\u2019s facebook page and he turned it into a pretty good <a href=\"http:\/\/www.examiner.com\/atheism-skepticism-in-new-york\/is-alcoholics-anonymous-a-cult\" target=\"_blank\">Examiner article<\/a>. But this debate reminded me of two blog entries I had written\u2026 neither of which is about alcoholism directly. I hope you will check them out: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.dangeroustalk.net\/?p=30\" target=\"_blank\">Lead us not in Temptation<\/a> &amp; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.dangeroustalk.net\/?p=1708\" target=\"_blank\">Devil\u2019s Due<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The last blog entry I want to share today is a little bit more on the humorous side: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.dangeroustalk.net\/?p=117\" target=\"_blank\">Water into Wine? Please!<\/a><\/p>\n<p>This is the first time I am doing this type of \u201cbest of\u201d and I would be interested to hear if people liked this type of thing every now and then or not. So please share your thoughts in the comment section.
