It was never easy splitting bilateral beliefs in God. School and home. Methodist. Catholic. That was the great divide. Educated within the confines of Catholicism, born and raised Methodist. Every Sunday, with freedom from Indulgences, saints and the proposed 8th Wonder of the Ancient World, transubstantiation—I downed my shot of Welch’s and Wonder bread,...

In Perpetual Purgatory…
For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?
Things have been looking grim lately. The global economic meltdown. Swine flu outbreaks. Can things get any worse? Yes, yes they can. Much worse. I never thought it would come to this, but there’s no denying it. Our worst fears have been realized. Truly, we are damned. – read. like. support. – Funny Headline...

cheesecloth and polygamy
I’m probably in the minority here, but I was raised Mormon. My mother has been Mormon her whole life, and my dad did convert for a time while they were courting and for some time after they got married. He got fed up with the church before I was born, though, and for as...

How Toxic Are You? Or, why you shouldn’t accept flyers on the street
I work in a building in the center of the city in which I live. In fact, to make it easier for verbose people like me, the part of the city in which I work is known to many as “center city.” In this place called center city, my building’s corner is like the...

Evolution, Shmevolution.
With a single swift kick to God’s nuts, Florida just starting requiring teachers to lie (see this). Yes, our Lord Jesus Christ is sprawled on the floor groaning tonight as Florida has enacted a policy requiring teachers to teach evolution (hereinafter “big fucking lie”) to our children.
