There is a commercial for the Norwegian post office that questions the paternity of Jesus.
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"

If I had that little blue car, I’d run Jeremy Clarkson over in it.

IDK, "Clarkson's Farm" is pretty entertaining. He really is an idiot, though.
Disappointing theists since 1968!

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

Just don't be Reliant on a Robin. They're push-overs. And fall-overs.

I wonder, if you somehow get forced to say grace during a dinner, how old (and possibly dementia-addled) would you have to be to get away with this:
Also, I just noticed that Aunt Bethany said the pledge without "Under God." As tempting as it is to ascribe a hidden meaning to it, I suspect that she probably would have learned it before Congress decided to add those words in 1954.

I think this is what he's talking about:
And, yes, that is a three-wheeled car. And it stayed in production for 30 fucking years. I suspect much of it was because it was cheap (partly because it was legally designated as a three-wheeled motorcycle rather than a car).
Note: While Jeremy Clarkson and company did purposely re-weight the Robin for this clip, it was also notorious long before this for being incredibly easy to roll over, even if it's just by making too sharp or fast of a turn.
