What Is Inappropriate Marital Conduct?

According to this article, an MLB all-star named Ben Zobrist is divorcing his wife who’s a Christian singer (whatever that means) because she is guilty of “inappropriate marital conduct”. The article doesn’t explain what that means so I’ve got a couple of questions. First – Why is this newsworthy? I’m not a fan of professional […]
I Don’t Control My Body

Reading the outraged responses to Alabama’s abortion law, I had a disturbing thought. Since my conception, other people have controlled my body. I’ve lived my whole life in submission to other people’s rules! It started with my own mother! Imprisoned in her womb, I went wherever she went. I ate what she ate. I didn’t […]
Tinder, Twitch, and Serious Talk About Grief
Tabby, The Peaches, and Aunt Meghan help me understand Tinder. Twitch mystifies the girls and I try to help them get it. We discuss the difficulty with helping people grieve without offending them further. It’s kind of heavy today, Pkarlgh, but that’s how it goes sometimes.

Changed My Mind: Let’s Ban Guns!

A few seconds ago, I wrote that I’m not in favor of banning guns. A few seconds after that, I wrote some more about why banning guns isn’t a good idea. Then I heard from you people who think guns should be banned…and I’ve changed my mind. I’m willing to endorse a ban on guns. […]
This Is A Bigger Problem Than Climate Change

Bill Nye, an actor who portrayed a ‘Science Guy’, is pretending to be really, really, really, upset: “By the end of this century, if emissions keep rising, the average temperature on Earth could go up another 4-to-8 degrees,” Nye said. “What I’m saying is: The planet’s on f—ing fire. There are a lot of things […]
Christians: You’re Not Enough.

If I started shooting over your head with a gun (any gun, doesn’t matter that it’s got a bump stock or illegally large magazine) you would duck. That’s a reflex. Danger kicks your instincts into overdrive and you’ll try to avoid contact with a projectile traveling at hundreds of miles per hour. If I start […]
It’s Your Fault I Hate You, and Unquestionable Professionals
Collin invents a new way to disrupt while Cami explains the prerequisite for her being a plumber (you won’t be surprised, Pkarlgh). The Peaches reads an instance of a guy who gets kicked out of his family. While I make coffee, we think about whether or not teachers should ever be questioned. If I had […]

Hell Is Your Paradise

Faiths or Gods of Love who have to threaten you with Eternal Torment for not agreeing with them or loving them back are not your friends.” Wisdom From An Atheist – (Name Withheld) This is an ancient idiocy that’s often repeated in pithy memes on the internet. There are many versions […]
