I hope they also have a panel discussion on prostate cancer treatments.

Don't let Satan win with his financial attacks on me. I put in a lot of time to run this blog so any extra change will be really helpful for me. You can donate SAFELY via Paypal (in other words, I never get your information). Anything you give really helps me in my current situation.

I just love a misplaced modifier. But you don't have to be an English teacher to appreciate this one, from the OnKneesforJesus blog:

My life is all about getting on my knees and faithfully servicing Jesus until He comes.



Honest to Dog, straight from the blog!


Cher

p.s. and did you note from the film that most masturbators are in Utah?! Hahah, just think of all those Mormons wackin' off out in Mitt territory. And feelin' bad about it, too.

At first I thought he was for real, but the more I looked at it, the more convinced I became that he wasn't.

RD is great, but Dr. Darrel Ray gets my kudos for his very last comment, "Religious people lie."
While he likely was only referring to sex, i think the statement is equally valid when applied to the whole enterprise. While religion may not rightly be the "root of all evil" (as the well-known RD video was called), the "root of all evil" in religion itself could be said to be their seeming lack of a fundamental understanding of truth/lying itself. No?
