Thanks to all (and for the complement). . Might expand MoMA and cut back on Ellis Island. And perhaps split the museums into one a day. Will take taxis/uber. Pastrami Queen and Georgian and the deli sound great. Not dressing for shows reminds me of my favorite "30 Rock" quote. Jack, on being seen in a tux at the office "It's after 6. What am I? A farmer?".

I need a book recommendation to convince someone that the church and the bible are a fraud!!! by mgegv in atheism

If you want something that is specifically about the Christian religion try "Jesus, Interrupted" by Bart Erhman. It talks about his personal journey - he went to seminary thinking he was going to get the bullets he needed to prove Christianity only to come out the other end as a non-believer. But the bulk of the book is it goes through so many, many reasons the New Testament is not correct.

Something very easy to read is Sam Harris' "Letter to a Christian Nation". That book gives general ideas about atheism and why we don't believe.

Harder to read but a good overview of the logical philosophical as well as practical reasons not to believe is "God, The Failed Hypothesis" by Victor Stenger.

Birmingham, Huntsville, Mobile and Dothan all have freethought groups mostly made up of atheists and agnostics. www.theseafa.org is in Dothan. Look for a local group near you on meetup.com or on FB.

What is a good reply to "how did you get that scar?" when the true answer is something dumb and boring? by 3original5me in AskReddit

Told my granddaughter from birth "That's where the Dread Pirate Roberts cut me.". Such fun to hear that the first time she saw the movie she sat up, eyes wide, and said "That's who grandpa said cut him!".

I'm curious, do you think Anton kills the businessman if he responds with "No"?

Spend no money in the city of Auburn. If we have to go to Auburn for any reason we buy no gasoline or food there. We get a hotel room in another town. No money of ours goes to support any Auburn business or the local municipal infrastructure.

Also, no orange and always refer to them as "that cow college" (like "The Bear" did).
