I also do funerals and bar mitzvahs

Yes, everyone it is true. I am a certified ordained minister. I actually performed a wedding last week. Well, if performed means that I signed the marriage certificate, then I performed a wedding last week for our neighbors. Here is the church that I am a minister of: http://www.spiritualhumanism.org/

It is religion based on reason, which I see is perfect for the bloggers that use logic on a regular basis. Here is a little snippet from the website and why this religion is so great:

>>We can solve the problems of society using a religion based on reason.

We cannot abandon ancient traditions and practices but we can adapt them to our new understanding of the universe. Religion must be able to adapt to new knowledge about the universe without rejecting the deep spiritual connections to human history and the natural world that we are a part of.

All humans have an inalienable right and duty to practice their own religious traditions. Spiritual Humanism allows everyone to fuse their individual religious practices onto the foundation of scientific humanist inquiry. We accept people from any religious background and recognize the validity of all peaceful religious practices and behaviors as being helpful and necessary in developing the spiritual nature of humanity.<<

That sounds logical to me. Anyway, if anyone has a REASON to get married or get baptized or confirmed, give me a call and Minister Mike can be there in a flash!!!

Oh, and for those of you who have complained of my logic hiatus. If you used reason, you would know that I was too busy to post anything to the blog, but the logic will be back in force in the next few days as I explore stupid human tricks and dealing with the local municipality where logic is a four-letter word.

On a lighter note....Monkeys!!!

Is it just me or do monkeys make everything better? From Super Bowl commercials to children's shows, monkeys are the best. I was watching an awful, awful children's show with my dughter of 2 years old a few days ago. The show is called "Little Bear" and it is on the evil Noggin network. This could be the worst children's show ever made, worse than the New Zoo Revue from the 70's (of course, back then that show was ahead of it's time). Then, out of no where, Little Bear had a monkey friend. Thank God she showed up because she was holding the show together. The only show I can ever remember where a monkey could not save how bad it was is "Friends". Even with the monkey, it still was an incredibly awful program. And yes, I was rooting for the monkeys in the "Wizard of Oz". Some, such as my wife's brother might call me a Commie for saying that, but I stand by it.

Welcome to Mike's Logic Blog

This blog will be dedicated to those who are trying to find some logic in the this world. This blog will cover all things stupid and illogical, as well as offer some advice to those who think they need it. I will try to have a daily stupidity update as well as take the time to points out things (or people) that just don't make sense. I have always wanted to write a book on this subject, but this is much simpler.

As I have always said: "Everything is simple, people complicate it."

I will take other things that people notice as well as point out places that are great for people watching such as the North Carolina State Fair. I go just to watch the people who attend this waste of space in West Raleigh. I am sure that one day my daughter will want to go and I will take her so she can have fun and I can people watch. I swear that is "people watching" was an Olympic sport, I would bring home the gold.
