I took a whole 10 minutes to find this historical essay of the bible. Very interesting and easy to read. This is an appetite-wetter for my dive into all the major religious books (Bible, Koran, Dianetics, the Book of Mormon, etc).

Imagine
There are the few things that bring a smile to my face, the little things. The Columbus Dispatch ran an article in the obligatory "Faith and Values" section, titled "Billboard Carries Challenges by Atheists".
This is compliments of the folks at Freedom From Religion, and well worth a mention in my prestigious diary.

God for President
I don't think anyone with a brain and some knowledge of matters political saw this coming. Romney dropped out, McCain is pretty much the Republican front runner, Huckabee is doing what he does best.... win over rural and religious voters, and Clinton and Obama are in a dead heat. Where do we go from here? It almost does not matter at this point, and I love it.
Bush and his administration has done about as much damage as one man can do to this country, and other countries. The Republican juggernaut is broken, split, and confused. Their closest front runner is their biggest renegade. He's the man that they allowed Bush to beat in 2000 because of his rogue behavior. The religious right is backing Huckabee, but Christian conservatism is not pulling in the financial conservatives and moderates that the Republicans were able to get the last two elections.
And the Democrats.... who knows. Which way will we make history? It has already been made. The real question now is who is most qualified.... just kidding!! The real question is who is most electable. Who can beat McCain / Huckabee.... or whoever. Probably not Hillary.
These are interesting times we live in, whether or not you give a flying fuck about who will be the next leader of the free world, and whether we will see the first black or female president. Just let me see the first rational and accomplished president in my life time. I can honestly look a the span of my life and say that it was between Reagan and Clinton, and that is nothing to brag to grandkids about....

Jesus Christ!
Due to an unforeseen resurgence in my social life, I have not been able to post in some time. Well, that on top of the normal not having time to post. I have been going back and forth since I started this thing, and I just can not seem to settle on what I want my approach to be.
Funny?
Mean?
Sarcastic?
Super pissed?
Serious?
I need to get my head together. My son pretty much had decided he does not believe in God. That would be worth talking about. I would like to expand on how I am pretty sure he came to that independently. I am sure he has picked up on my feelings, I can't independently observe without influencing the results.
Oh, and I have to thank fine people at the Jesus 1st website (actually promoting Jesus) for that crazy fucking picture on my profile.
