Remember that FedEx ad from the Superbowl a year or so ago? Caveman sets out with a "package", ties it to the leg of a pterodactyl. Said pterodactyl immediately gets eaten by another dino. Caveman returns to boss. Caveman: Package didn't make it. Boss: Did you use FedEx? Caveman: It hasn't been inve...

If a church is burned, it could be because of Anti-chrisitianism, but also because (actually, history proves incredibly more likely) because of racism or dissent from the idealogies of the church. And some are torched by vandals or just plain crazy people, as we had here a while back. As I stated a...

Glad we can agree on some things. I wish you could see that if scientists outed the scientism advocates in their ranks for their misuse of science, religion and science would get on a great deal better. It's the scientism not the science that bothers most of the faithful, young earth creationists l...

Yah. Beltane is nothing more than a Wicca wannabe. I actually knew a guy like that--he wasn't chronically offended like Beltane seems to be, but he WAS bat-guano crazy. He claimed to be a Wiccan..then a ninja..then Persian (whatever the hell that meant--he never did explain it well). The boy should'...

It's that kind of moronic thinking that really pisses me off--"he's not wrong because he's black, he's wrong because he's religious". You aren't Christian? Fine. As long as you don't have a problem with me being Christian, then we don't have a problem. (I'm using the general you here, just to clarif...

I was adopted, AND I grew up in the California group home system after my adoptive parents divorced. I had a rotten childhood, filled with beatings and mental anguish and even rape. And guess what? I'm glad I'm HERE to remember these things that happened to me. I'm glad to be ALIVE. That wouldn't b...

I wonder what evidence she has to offer? Zero. Just like Jack Thompson. I HATE Jack Thompson.

I prefer the all-volunteer system, personally--and for purely selfish reasons I assure you. I am a craven coward. I despise violence and doubt I could ever raise a weapon to another human. I'd be a liability to any unit I'm in of any conflict except as artillery fodder. My vision is bad, my overall ...

That's not Beltane. She doesn't wear glasses. (At least I think those are glasses perched up there). Likely though cut from similar cloth--a member of the Society of the Chronically Offended.

I don't know what Robin Williams said to offend Catholics, but certainly Roman Catholicism takes more verbal abuse in this country than most any other Christian denomination Watch his 2002 HBO special sometime (it's out on DVD and you can find it at any decent video store).

I guess I'm just lucky. Every time I've been to a casino I've left with more cash than I entered. (Granted it was never more than maybe $100 each visit, but that's still a net profit). The trick? 1.

some of those questions on that thing are pretty loaded. The two major political parties, I think, got this way because they thought themselves invulnerable. The GOP has been in control of Congress since the mid 90s--and with a GOP president for the last six years they've pretty much run unchecked. ...

That, in my opinion, is the Purpose of Mankind. To provide God with company. And if you boil it down, the Bible really amounts to God saying "Don't Be an Asshole".
