teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

Ran a quick errand this morning and driving through the other side of the subdivision it looked like the Massacre of the North Pole. Several houses in a row had the pitiful deflated bodies of Santas, elves, Grinches, reindeer, and other manner of Christmas inflatables lying in heaps on the ground.
Looks like a stretch where the neighbors are trying to outdo one another with the number of inflatables they can fit on their relatively small front yards. It probably looks okay at night all lit up and air-filled. At about noon...it's a bit depressing.

Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.

The perfect Christmas gift for that one kid in your life. You know the kid I mean. Don't act like you don't.

Waiting patiently to see the year which hillbilly cousin confuses the New Year's Bonfire with the Yule Log and burns his house down.
