Well this is embarrassing. It appears that I have just been raptured. If you’re seeing this post, it means that God has taken me! (Or possibly I’ve just been run over by a drunk driver while trying to cross the street. Please check outside for a mangled body on the road. That’s probably me.) I [...]

One of my most popular posts of all time was the Intelligent Design Venn Diagram. I didn’t make it. I just reprinted it. Nevertheless, a lot of people complained to me that I “made it wrong” and they were offended by it. This one should be even more offensive. Again, I didn’t make it. I [...]
