Philosophy, Sexual Orientation, Elephants, & Truth

Kelli Jae Baeli Posted on February 12, 2011 by Kelli Jae BaeliMarch 4, 2013

Thought I would share something that got lost in the shuffle a while back: Posted by Kelli Jae Baeli on September 12, 2009 at 8:00pm *from comment thread with Lee…..in attempting a succinct response, I found myself falling into my nature as a writer, and this comment became lengthy. That was a warning for the faint of heart. I cross-posted here, so that someone might be able to read it later, here, if they become overwhelmed with it, there. Smelling salts available.** Lee, thank you so much for your thoughtful comments. I admire philosophers and philosophy majors…it’s fascinating, necessary, but … Continue reading →

Supernatural Completion

Kelli Jae Baeli Posted on November 27, 2010 by Kelli Jae BaeliMarch 4, 2013

I finally ordered the proofs for my 6 volume book, Supernatural Hypocrisy: The Cognitive Dissonance of a God Cosmology. It will be available for the Holiday Shopping season. Volume 1: Cosmology of God & Jesus Volume 2: Cosmology of Christianity Volume 3: Cosmology of the Bible Volume 4: Cosmology of the Dark Side Volume 5: Cosmology of Science Volume 6: Cosmology of Atheism Three years in the making, this is not a project I would like to do very often. It was mentally, emotionally and physically draining. The amount of research, double-checking, rewriting, formatting and other such mundane details were … Continue reading →

Mind-Bending Esoterica

Kelli Jae Baeli Posted on April 15, 2010 by Kelli Jae BaeliMarch 4, 2013

 Open Letter to Spiritual Person Regarding Belief in Supernatural based on several posts on Facebook to my Wall.  First, this subject matter does not lend itself to a sound-byte. That’s why science is often wrongly interpreted as unable to respond to wild claims from believers in the supernatural. Complicated things require complicated explanations. Second, this content is not directed at you, CMorte, exclusively. I will be speaking both toward your comments, and toward the spiritual community at large. Third, yes I was a little harsh.  I will try to keep my anger at bay long enough to explain why I … Continue reading →

Jael. In a Tent. With a Spike.

Kelli Jae Baeli Posted on April 7, 2010 by Kelli Jae BaeliMarch 3, 2013

Excerpt from Supernatural Hypocrisy: The Cognitive Dissonance of a God Cosmology by Kelli Jae Baeli {website text in red, my comments in black} During some research, came across this page. It’s the most hateful, war-mongering, misogynistic, atavistic, hate-crime supporting, and sickening example of Christian brainwashing I’ve ever seen. And it’s intended for kids. This is the kind of guy who reads the Left Behind novels with demented glee. KID’S BIBLE STORY–  Lesson prepared by: Steve Van Nattan: Blessed Quietness Journal JAEL–A LADY WHO USED WHAT SHE HAD IN HER HAND …the same thing in her head and heart. Something sharp … Continue reading →

The A.I. of Theists:

Kelli Jae Baeli Posted on November 11, 2008 by Kelli Jae BaeliMarch 3, 2013

(Or, “Who’s the Pinhead, Now, O’Reilly?”) [Excerpt from my book, Supernatural Hypocrisy: The Cognitive Dissonance of God Cosmology] THE ARGUMENTS GIVEN BY many theists, especially those of the fundamentalist variety, can be referred to quite accurately as A.I.–Artificial Intelligence, AKA Arrogant Ignorance. Poster boy for this concept? Bill O’ Reilly. On a segment of his show, O’Reilly had Richard Dawkins as a guest, but Dawkins was not treated as such. In his usual, haughty, overbearing, arrogant manner, O’Bully made sure that Dawkins never had a fair opportunity to respond, and it was blatantly apparent that Bill-O had absolutely zero respect … Continue reading →

Spiritual Soup For One

Kelli Jae Baeli Posted on December 3, 2007 by Kelli Jae BaeliDecember 3, 2007

AS I have mentioned, I am not a Christian, and there are many reasons for this. (I am spiritual, however). I was a Christian for many years, even attended a Christian College, and later studied for several years under a Bible Scholar….to understand Christianity, you must study it, and by studying it, I learned that it is very much a product of a patriarchal society; it’s predicated on misinterpretation, outright lies, fear and control….so this belief system simply did not answer my questions, and did not ring true, nor resonate with me ultimately in any beneficial way. (I can say … Continue reading →

Quotes from Kelli Jae Baeli

Good authors spend a lot of energy and time on constructing a plot and providing surprises to keep the reader engaged and entertained– when you come along and tell those twists and turns and outcomes, you have just spoiled it for anyone else–which is why it’s called a SPOILER. This is one time when you should be vague.

Politics Quotes

"People feel removed from sexism. 'I'm not a sexist, but I'm not a feminist.' They think there's this fuzzy middle ground. There's no fuzzy middle ground. You either believe that women are people or you don't. It's that simple." (Joss Whedon)

Favorite Quotes

I am terrified of what seems to me to be a bottleneck that civilization is passing through. On the one hand we have 21st-century disruptive technology proliferating, and on the other we have first-century superstition. A civilization is going to either pass through this bottleneck more or less intact or it won't. And perhaps that fear sounds grandiose, but civilizations end. On any number of occasions, some generation has witnessed the ruination of everything they and their ancestors had built. What especially terrifies me about religious thinking is the expectation on the part of many that civilization is bound to end based on prophecy and its ending is going to be glorious. ~SAM HARRIS, debate with Rick Warren, April, 2007
