Since I haven’t posted in over a week, I realized that most of you probably think I’ve been raptured. After all, if the rapture were to actually occur, so few Christians would qualify that we probably wouldn’t notice that it had even happened. I’m guessing that maybe six or eight people out of [...]
PZ recently did a post on camel sex. That led me to discover Google Insight. I was curious who is the most concerned about fundies, so I typed that in. I was expecting the U.S. to be at the top of the list, since we have the biggest problem. Nope. [...]

Yesterday, I was searching for books by George Lakoff, a UC Berkeley linguist with some intriguing yet controversial ideas on the differences between how liberals and conservatives think. This [...]
Our seven-day week seems to be based on the Genesis myth. Our five-day work week is the result of the labor movement. Clearly, unions are more powerful than God.
