The church says the earth is flat, but I know that it is round, for I have seen the shadow on the moon, and I have more faith in a shadow than in the church. — Ferdinand Magellan
That's good.
Nobody ever said "the church" knows what it's talking about...
Well, at least I never said it.
But I'm not sure the Bible posits a flat earth.

Are you paying attention to the current election fracas? Seneca the Younger is, evidently...

The fact that a believer is happier than a skeptic is no more to the point than the fact that a drunken man is happier than a sober one. — George Bernard Shaw
What?
WHAT?
Spend some time rolling that one around in your head. George is on to something, but he's too frigging into himself to know it.
Maybe he was drinking with Ernie (see above).

No it ISN'T "terrifying and absolutely vile." That's a stupid thing to say and he knows it. Kurt is afraid of something...

That's pretty good. That's good.
