By not dying in harness, Benedict is spitting on the traditions of his office, and showing that he’s either afraid of prosecution or death, either of which demonstrate a marked public lapse in faith. And the commentary from the Vatican on how African cardinals couldn’t get past first ballot in the conclave because they are [...]
crossposted from facebutt Missionaries came to my door. They were nice, they were young, they were male, they were white. They asked me if I was having a good New Years Day and I said yes, but if this was of the nature of a religious call, I could not entertain them. They asked why [...]
Social media has turned modern friendship into a pixellated bar that serves kittens, soundbites and RPGs. – A Sloman. Tony Scott, noted director and producer and brother of Ridley, committed suicide by jumping off a bridge. He left a note. He was 68. Depression’s a hell of an illness, and my condolences to his family, [...]

Quoted from Mr. Damon, who has since moved away from the internet. Now let me be clear about something. I am not a Christian, but I am neither anti-Christian nor anti-church. I recognize and support modes of thought and faith and communion that provide people with solace, strength and a sense of vibrancy and [...]
Memo to the world if I’m ever killed in a terrorist attack. I’d like to deliver a pre-event FUCK YOU to the media, sort of a “Panopticon friendly living will”. I am an atheist, so please don’t drag God into it. God had nothing to do with mining the uranium out of the ground, or [...]
Believe me, the artwork I’ve made up to go with this makes this even more offensive – and I do it all with line art and print. When we get to discussing imaginary friends, my God’s not a dick. I thought of another one, but it’s even ruder, and I know mein pOp will thank [...]
Most of you reading this don’t have facebook, which is where I hang out much more than this blog these days. Paul just put up that he’s In a Relationship with Janice Murray, and it’s complicated. Oh yes. My poor response to his relationship with Janice Murray is why our 24 year relationship went into [...]
Interesting news from Iran.
A rabbit means a bunny hopping around, but it’s also an unauthorized printing project. Fellow bunnyhugging rellies, how about this for a printing job? I can see mOm warming up some mailing tubes to fire them off at some of our “the Bible is inerrant” relatives. Say, in time for Christmas.
Prayer gives you a moment to stop, to think outside yourself, not wallow in your own dismay – Meshell Ndegeocello
So say some Christians. That’s not particularly Unitarian, though. Oh, and Los Alamos goes boom, but there was only three million dollars worth of damage, so it was a right sized kinda boom.
Last night I fed Tom, Peggy, Ben, Paul, Keith and Jeff pork roast done with garlic, bacon and bay leaves (it made the house smell REALLY GOOD) and many, many vegetables, including beans and cauliflower and broccoli and beets and potatoes. Katie and her housemates were invited, but Katie was already on tap to do [...]
