Here are the ten things every man needs to know about his woman…

10. She does not care about the play-by-play details of your multiplayer battles on Halo 2.
If she cared, she’d be sitting on the sofa next to you, cheering you on as you played. My guess is… she wasn’t. So unless you’re trying to ween your girlfriend off of her valium addiction, I suggest you keep that enthusiastic conversation filed in the “Not necessary to share with her” file, and clean out that file regularly.

9. She is not impressed by the gigantic, inhuman-sized log you just pinched off into the toilet.
Trust me on this. While women find colon health important, they’re perfectly satisfied just knowing that you do, indeed, shit on a regular basis, and anything beyond that is more detail than necessary. Describing the length or shape of your [...]

What is Wrong with People - Part I

What is wrong with people who don’t believe in evolution?

The percent of Americans who reject evolution is close to 50 percent. About 35 percent believe the Bible should be taken literally, and if you are a Biblical literalist, evolution is not compatible with that view. For the rest-mainstream, nonliteralist Christians-it is mostly a matter of human exceptionalism: the idea that humans are different and unique from all other organisms. Par of that is the “ick factor” - “I’m not monkey!” If people understood more about animals, they’d appreciate that it’s hard to find lines that demarcate us from them.

At a Democratic presidential debate this year, three candidates raise their hands when asked who …

Just When You Think You’ve Met the Biggest Asshole Ever…

Just when you think you’ve met the biggest asshole ever, it turns out you probably haven’t. Unless, of course, you’ve had the pleasure of meeting one of the congregation members of the Westboro Baptist Church headquartered in good ole Topeka, Kansas. If you’re not familiar with this passionately active group of morally upstanding citizens, you can learn all about their doctrine on their website (www.godhatesfags.com). That is not, to give them more press, but I think it’s important to be aware that psychos like this exist, and spread their insecurity and hatred by harrassing the families of recently the recently deceased by picketing funerals.

The crux of their incredibly insightful belief system is basically this– bad things (like …

Thoughts on Religion

Posted on September 23rd, 2007 by Christopher.

Religion is what keeps the poor from murdering the rich.
~ Napoleon

We must question the story logic of having an all-knowing all-powerful God, who creates faulty humans, and then blames them for his own mistakes.
~ Gene Roddenberry

Man is certainly stark mad: he cannot make a worm, yet he will make gods by the dozen.
~ Michel de Montaigne

If you can conceive of morality without god, why can you not conceive of society without government?
~ Peter Saint-Andr

I contend that we are all atheists. I just believe in one fewer god than you do. When you understand why you dismiss all the other possible gods, you will understand why I dismiss yours.
~ Stephen Roberts

The Devil’s Advantage…

Posted on July 2nd, 2007 by Christine.

It turns out that Heaven isn’t above Hell. Rather, Heaven and Hell share the same plane and are separated only by a long wooden fence.

One day, the Devil decides to throw a huge bash. Lots of bands perform with some of the biggest names, and the Damned start having a heck of a party. Toward the end of the festivities, a big fireball fight breaks out and sure enough, one lands on the fence and burns it down.

God complains to the Devil and insists that the Devil rebuild the fence. The Devil says, “Sure, no problem. I’ve got all the union leaders over here as well as most of the building contractors.”

So, the fence is …

A Philosophical Question…

I used to love thinking about philosophical questions. Back when I was in college, I could sit with other people at a coffee shop for hours and have lofty conversations, debating the true meaning of life, the existence of God, love, or any other thought-provoking topic that someone could think up and the rest of us could spend an hour listening to ourselves talk about it. Ahhh… life was good back then. Back when I had the time to sit for hours in a coffee shop.

These days, I don’t have time to wait for my automatic coffee maker to brew and I intentionally return phone calls when I know people aren’t home …
