Don’t Accept Everything From Kids You Love
Instructions: Love and teach your child what things are unacceptable. I mean, without even furrowing my brow I can think of 10 things that I would never accept in my child: My kids weren’t born with any values. They were insufferable creatures who screamed, pooped, peed, and slept whenever they felt like it with zero […]
Sure To Be Misunderstood
It’s possible that this is the dumbest thing anyone has ever done in the effort to ‘protect women’s sports’ (I don’t know everything that’s being done). Listening to Caitlyn Jenner talk about the importance of separate women’s and men’s spaces is like hearing a grizzly bear lecture about marine life. It’s like a cup of […]
Every Criminal Wants A Better Life
I heard a guy talking about the border problem say, “These are just regular folks who come to our country looking for a better life!” And of course, this is true. The reason people enter the country illegally is because they want to improve their circumstances. It’s the same reason people rob banks, steal cars, […]
When You Expect Respect
Comedians are preachers. Their sermons are full of jokes so most people don’t realize a stand-up routine is a religious experience. Comedy is a form of indoctrination. The audience at a comedy show is not much different from a church congregation but since there is no formal mission statement, most of the flock thinks it’s […]
Every Pagan Should Aspire To This
I don’t think it’s ‘tragic,’ or ‘sad,’ when couples tell me they don’t want to be parents. I’m relieved bordering on joyful when egotistical humans announce they won’t be creating a legacy of self-indulgence. Any couple that decides not to have children has my full support. People fully committed to hedonism are terrible parents and […]
Why Should I Care That You’re Wrong?
There really are people who believe the Earth is flat, outer space is a hoax concocted by scientists, the light from the Moon makes things colder and, gravity doesn’t exist. As hard as that may be to believe, there’s a group of people claiming to be Christians who don’t think it matters; which tells me […]
Honor For Nothing
Do people still put bumper stickers on their cars telling all the strangers following them about the honor student in their family? I haven’t seen one for awhile. I assumed the practice ended years ago when people who haven’t accomplished anything whined about being harmed by the mention of accomplishments. There were a couple of […]
When Your Wife Marries A Chump
Whenever I hear a Christian husband say, “I really married up!” I know he’s trying to compliment his wife. Christian men are taught that building up their wives requires tearing themselves down. The following exchange plays out in my imagination whenever a Christian dude boasts about having a wife who, “Could have done better.” You: […]
You Are Evil. God Is Not
A Christian has many responses when atheists (God-haters) accuse God of being evil. Here are a couple… Response 1: “Oh my goodness! It breaks my heart when you say that! I’ll pray for you!” — This response is purely emotional. Atheism is purely emotional too. It’s best not to fight emotion with more emotion. Response […]
Belief In God Won’t Save Anybody
Awhile back I quit trying to justify my faith to certain types of skeptics. I don’t mind explaining what I believe to people who are genuinely trying to understand me. By the grace of God, I am no longer burdened with the obligation to ‘respectfully engage’ with every smug narcissist who yells, ‘prove your god […]
