That’s right. Unless we start seeing some birth certificates, are we just supposed to believe on faith that Jesus was born in Bethlehem? What, just because a birth announcement was put in the Bible, like, what, two thousand years ago or something? Pfft. We want evidence! But where is Jesus’ birth certificate? Surely the Son …

Bin Laden cozy with US Gov’t up until 9/11?

A new addition to our zoo
So Jodi and I were visiting Deep Space Station K7 the other day, when this strange man by the name of Cyrano Jones approached us and offered to sell as a pet, a small, fuzzy creature he’d picked up recently. Came with a free bag of feed — some stuff called quadrotriticale or something. It’s …

I am making a resolution to disengage.
Brother Sam makes several excellent points on why people get into debates about religion, and has a good deal of insight about what I’ve been doing wrong in engaging Zdenny as of late.

“Conversion is like cultural AIDS”
I’m going to post a video, and hope certain elements that have frequented this blog as of late will see their reflection in it. That is, if they watch it at all. I don’t think the guy who said this (at about 24:45) had any idea as to the provenance of what he said, when …
