Boy (Who Is Not Me) Wants to Kill Jesus

This unfortunate-looking attention seeker

got the attention he was looking for yesterday.
Ryan Schallenberger (Really?  My spell-checker recognised that?) plotted to blow up his high school.  No, not because people made fun of his awkward attempt at facial hair, but because he wanted to die, go to heaven and kill Jesus.
Sigh.

Day of Silence and Ken Hutcherson

Today is the 12th annual Day of Silence.
Today, all across America, students will demonstrate against the bullying and harassment of their gay peers by taking a vow of silence during the school day.
Of course, some religious people have an issue with this.

Someone asked on the Friendly Atheist Forums last night:
How comfortable are you with ‘mystery’  and the great unknowables of life, world and everything?

An Alliterative Rant on Current Events

On top of that, I sang in the praise team of a Baptist church today.
But here’s [...]

Congress Pronks Over Use of “Pronk”

This is pronking ridiculous. Everyone in Virginia (11th Pronk or otherwise) uses “pronk.” Anyone who doesn’t know that can pronk themselves directly in the pronk.

Euthanasia

I’m a big supporter of euthanasia.  There is no reason why a child in North Korea should not have the same benefits as a child in America.  They didn’t choose to be born into sla–
I’ve just been informed that I’m an idiot.  Allow me to start over.
