There is something coming that scares the Hell out of the fire-and-brimstone crowd: Competition.
Insanity
Here’s the problem with having my job… I was just out to the store. On the way back I wound up stopped, waiting for traffic to clear before I walked across the street. While waiting, this guy flies at me out of nowhere, and starts screaming at me about God’s vengeance. I brace myself, and [...]
Birthers, Truthers, and Aliens: A Conspiracy of Stupidity
The world seems angry about a whole heap of idiotic issues these days. I want to take a second to address these ideas with my usual diplomatic tact (roughly akin to a blunt-force trauma).

Unlike Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, Scientology’s founder has [...]
