Don't let my puerile posts mislead you.  I'm a grandfather of three -- and prepared to corrupt each of them in the ways of bullshit self-defense when the time comes.

The god who allows children to be raped out of respect for the free will choice of the rapist, but punishes gay men for engaging in mutually consensual sex couldn't possibly be responsible for an intelligently designed universe.

Pfft. You're a baby, Steel Curtain


Happy Birthday Rhonda

Let me say that menopause is great! I am torn on whether I will let my hair go gray or not. I've considered dying it blue so I can be a blue haired old lady.

Hate to break it to ya, but you only have 10 days left in your 40s!
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great
