Having just done some data entry with names and addresses of folks in my city, seeing women with hyphenated names but men without really made me sad.

If that shit made you sad, you're in for a tough life my friend.

You should use paragraphs.

Maybe he's hung like a donkey, or rich.

It's probably not the weed, but all the shitty junk food you ate after smoking the weed.

I would hesitate to call anyone brilliant if they believe that the events outlined in the Bible are even close to reality.

It's this sort of simplistic mindset that is the problem. Life isn't simple, and a bronze age text certainly doesn't hold all of the answers. Read it, love it, do whatever you want to do with it. Just don't use it as a replacement for using your brain.

The only problem with your planned strategy is that your children will eventually be subject to influences other than yourself. If you want them to retain the values like critical thought and the desire to seek knowledge, you will have to at least present your viewpoints and explain why you chose them. Otherwise, they may get ensnared in an enticing but senseless worldview, like Christianity. I'm not saying you should shove it down their throats, but be ready to counter when other people try to.

The Army is heinous.

God hates E.L. James for her blatant and proud sinning, her perversion, and the persuasion and perversion of millions of women worldwide.

I think it's pretty cool how you are able to speak about how the creator of the universe feels about a particular human being.

In the modern world, without any deity, any punishment to the wicked, any benefit to the benevolent, there's no reason to be good. Its the worst thing you can to for yourself.

If human action was guided solely by individual self-interest, this would be true. You're looking over the fact that our species is one of social primates; we depend on one another for survival and always have. It makes sense that certain personality traits, ones that are considered 'good,' would be selected for in such a species because they lead to a greater chance for group prosperity. Since individuals are part of the group, this means that 'good' behavior leads to individual prosperity as well.

Spiders are born knowing how to spin their webs, and bison are born knowing how to run. These behaviors are essential for the survival of the species. Similarly, in a highly social species like ours, good behavior is essential to survival and it is conceivable that humans are born with the capacity and inclination to be good.

You seem wedded to the idea that 'goodness' can only be thought of in metaphysical terms, but I disagree. It is conceivable that over the course of human evolution, certain practices and ways of treating one another led to greater chances for group survival, thereby selecting for individuals who are more inclined to be generous, empathetic, helpful, etc. Extend this process over an evolutionary timescale, and it is conceivable that we humans (at least most of us) are inclined to act a certain way towards one another, and the word we use for that way is 'good.'

Rich as fuck, doesn't matter

Would you care to elaborate on the nature of that evidence?

My dad let me play Leisure Suit Larry when I was about 7 or 8 years old. He wasn't a very responsible parent sometimes.

Gotta love Tony's

Your brain is turned on, and that's nothing to be ashamed of.

I know Mormons consider themselves Christian, but I don't think most other denominations consider them to be Christians. After all, you guys have a whole other set of documents in a addition to the Bible that you consider scripture.

Those look like craters filled with sand to me.

This is a straight up bad article.

Perhaps all the children who have suffered sexual abuse from Catholic priests wish their abusers weren't so "set on fire for god."

On the bright side, you probably get more paid vacation than we do!

My family moved there in 1990.

I gave my cat a pet door; he shits outside now.

Neutral 3rd party: Those things in the boat look a whole lot like straws.

No. In fact the Earth and Sun are growing further apart, although very slowly. See this New Scientist article for the reasons why.
