Down with the British! Liberty or death!

I think that there's nothing wrong with "organised atheism", if it's done, for instance, to insure that the separation of church and state is maintained, and stuff of that order. 

Ding ding ding!

And the point I was trying to make earlier (and doing a poor job by) was that there is still a great deal of discrimination against and discomfort towards atheists in our society. And the one and only way I can think of to combat that is for atheists to organize when they are discriminated against or when religion oversteps its bounds.

I don't think that organized atheists are any more analogous to a church than the NAACP is analogous to the Klan. Organizing around polar opposite viewpoints on an issue need not make groups parallel. I think organized atheist groups are very much like anti-prejudice groups in that their long term goal is to be unnecessary--and that's as far from a religion as I can imagine.

You want irony, re: religion? Irony is my folks trying to convince me that I need to take Simon to church regularly so that he becomes a good upstanding citizen and caring family man... even as they talk shit about my older brother, who is active in their church, and universally considered a boorish dick.

I wanted to be born again.

But my mother would never make the same mistake twice.

knnnnnnnnnnnch.

Page 7 belongs to me, bitches!

OH, I don't think so.

Actually, I'm glad I'm not alone anymore.

Here's what I've got:


Use your encyclopedic sports knowledge to get women naked.  (So far I've failed. I might've been able to ...pull it off with hockey questions. I did get a number of basketball and football questions correct, but not enough in a row to get to the full monty.)

Duffonomics - GNR's bassist is writing a financial column for Playboy. Seriously.

[Just Some Girl]

Do I win this page now?

[Bizarro]

I just totally got the baseball chick naked. Niiiiiiice.

I'd seen that Duff column before.

[Just Some Girl]

That's really good, Tripp!

For that, you get LSD girl.

She looks like Nastassja Kinski meets a tripped-out Audrey Hepburn.


Orange.

Awesome protest flag by gay marriage rights activists:

only has stars for states that recognize the right to gay marriage:

I like.

Hey, Jeff, what'd you do for your b-day?

Everyone who doesn't accept Jesus as his or her personal savior is an Atheist whether they know it or not, and they will all suffer for their folly by burning for eternity in hell.

I've been hanging out with my parents all weekend and my irony filter is rusty.

You fucking with me or serious?

I'm gonna go with: He's fucking with you.

I just totally got the baseball chick naked. Niiiiiiice.

I really did get a bunch of the questions right. I really should be able to see a boob for it at least. I mean, jeez.

Maybe I should try the racing one. (Don't tell brainfiber I don't really know that much about that either, 'cept a bit of Grand Prix.)


Indy is here this weekend. In my 'hood (sorta...close enough to be annoyed by the noise.) Luckily, I'll be up at Josey's place in the country, getting crunked and swimming and boating and playing "Lawn Jarts" and croquet et cetera with the gals.

We celebrated my bday on the 4th. Woke up to steak and eggs. We were going to swim with the little guy but it was raining, so we went to Oberweis Dairy for ice cream. Then Tilda made me a cake. (She makes yellow cake the night before, brushes it with simple syrup, then lets it chill overnight. Then she makes her own icing and loads it with diced strawberries and blueberries and puts it all together. Pretty awesome, really.) My folks gave me a bunch of tools (this is how my dad and I bond.) My brother Andy gave me a beautifully bound set of tiny volumes collecting the works of Shakespeare. My brother Jonathan gave me a gift card. (Though I shamed him when I said "I'm just glad it wasn't an IOU... If it was, I was gonna have to return it, since I got that from you last year.")

Yesterday, we went to the pool with the kid and to Harbor Freight, the tool store I go on and on about. (I got a torque wrench!) My folks and brothers (and baby brother's fiance) were here, so it was fun.

I know the BF will be able to see football and basketball chicks nekkid, and he probably knows enough about baseball to see her, too.

The first racing question? Fucking NASCAR, man. Can't they have any classy racing questions?
