We heard about Pastor Wiley Drake praying for God to kill Obama. Now it seems others are too. There’s a cafepress gift shop with slogans like “Pray for Obama – Psalm 109:8″ which seems to be Christianese for “Kill the President.” Psalm 109:8 says:
May his days be few; may another seize his position. (NRSV)

The New Humanist 2009 Bad Faith Award polls are now open. Lots of unreasonable people to choose from, though my list would have been quite different. I mean, how can a list like that not have Ray Comfort on it?

Here’s an old not-funny joke I heard while living in Wisconsin:
A man by the name of Ole lives to a ripe old age and dies. He awakes to find himself in Hell, which is a bit of a surprise. Still, he figures he might as well get a look around before the [...]

bigjohn756: Pathetic… The Book Burning That Wasn’t
