Who the hell would have ever expected me to say that?  Well, it’s true.  I think I’ve come to realize why so many athletes thank “The Lord Jesus Christ” after a winning clutch performance.
There’s a term “god-given” talent.  While developing athletic talent into greatness surely takes hard work, just consider the following idea.
No musician was [...]

If you don’t know what a mezuzah is in the Jewish religion, it is a piece of parchment (often contained in a decorative case) that is inscribed with specified Hebrew verses from the Torah.  A mezuzah is affixed to the doorframe…and is believed to bring long life and protection for members of the home.

Have you heard this story?  There are plans to build an Islamic mosque on ground zero of where the 9-11 attacks took place.  Well, the mosque would actually be built a couple of blocks from ground zero, but what’s the difference, right?
This topic has been the cause of some outrage (mostly from conservatives, but even [...]

First off, while my buddy Bozzzy inspired the following thoughts, this isn’t a direct criticism aimed at him. (He’s a staunch atheist, but also has some superstitions when it comes to numbers)
Most atheists have personal belief systems that are deeply rooted in logic and science (facts) —- if not facts, at least theories with a [...]

There’s no way the devil exists…and while we’re at it, hell doesn’t exist either.

Agnostic: a person who holds the view that any ultimate reality (as god) is unknown and probably unknowable; broadly : one who is not committed to believing in either the existence or the nonexistence of god.
That’s pretty much how I respond to [...]

Listen, I’m amazed when I sometimes actually stop and think about what us humans have accomplished so far.   We have the Internet, tall buildings, poetry, and a can that lets you know when the beer is cold.
However, to some degree we’re always going to be stupid.  That’s right, stupid.  I don’t mean to knock religion [...]

Mostly everyone is familiar with this story.  Parker and Stone, the creators of South Park, recently had some fun when it came to the question of whether or not they should depict the Muslim Prophet Mohammad in an episode.  To me, it’s pretty irrelevant how they even portrayed him. (Mohammad was in a bear costume [...]

You’d think by now I’d know the story of Passover down to specific details, but whatever.
Part of the story is that when Moses and the Jews wanted to escape slavery in Egypt, God was behind them and punished the Pharoah and the Egyptians until they would free the Israelites.
The 10 plagues god struck upon the [...]

During this holiday season, gifts are exchanged amongst those not only who celebrate Christmas, but those who celebrate Chanukah, Kwanzaa, and even “other”/nothing.
Whether it’s a greeting card or wrapping paper, if it has an image of a snowman on it, you’re in good shape to not offend anyone.  Apparently, a snowman has no religious or [...]

This really could apply to any type of minority, but sometimes you’re one, and then another of that appears.
The other day I was at a birthday party for my friend Cindy’s husband, and while standing next to me she yells across the room, “Hey I found another Jew for you.”  It was something like [...]
