“Sorry if my atheism offends you. But guess what – your religious wars, jihads, crusades, inquisitions, censuring of free speech, brainwashing of children, murdering of albinos, forcing girls into underage marriages, female genital mutilation, stoning, pederasty, homophobia, and rejection of science and reason offend me. So, I guess we’re even.” (Mike Treder)

“Every newspaper in America has a daily astrology column. How many have even a weekly astronomy column? And I believe it is also the fault of the educational system. We do not teach how to think.”

My father was always a nonpracticing Jew. Nevertheless, he held on to two seats at our local synagogue, which he paid for every year. One weekend, my mother told him, “I’d like to go over to that synagogue, see what it’s like in there.” And so they went. The only problem was that when they got inside the synagogue, my father’s seats were occupied. So my father went right to the business office, where it was explained to him that they’d indeed sold his seats, twice; since he never did attend services, what harm would it do?

How people entertained themselves in college during the 1940s.

Nicholson flew above the girls’ dormitories doing aerial acrobatics. He also dropped leaflets overhead urging the girls to “Ditch Those Wimps at Denison.” Of course, all the girls ran out on the lawn to see what was going on up in the sky. When they did, we ran into the girls’ rooms and rifled their panty drawers. They came back in and discovered they had no brassieres, shorts, or anything. We took the trophies and attached them to our cars’ antennas and drove around the campus honking our horns; we thought this was the cat’s pajamas! It was considered very daring. And to do it in conjunction with another student doing airplane stunts? Well, that was classic 1948.

Rich boy games. At our university, we called them "Frat Rats", because they consumed, but provided little but stupid and dangerous ploys. Rushes where the prospective members parked on neighbor's lawns for the drunk-fests. Future captains of industry, right there.
