Sorry to pick nits, but "Find Out How It Feels Like"???? How about "Find Out How It Feels", or perhaps "Find Out What It Feels Like". The way it is sounds a bit redundant and repetitive. Not to mention redundant.

@Katharine: It sounds like only those who attend his Malachi program are required to read the Bible, but the program doesn't sound mandatory. And if you'd take the time to research other Christian groups that reach out to inmates you'll find some amazing success stories about how their attendees' recidivism rates are a fraction of the national average.

This is kinda funny, that someone thinks a poll on whether people believe in God or not will make any difference. Not like his existence depends on a majority vote.

Silly.

I can’t help being astonished about the number of people that don't believe in God. With all we know today, how’s that possible?

Yikes. Looks like the contractor would be held liable for that one. The crane was way undersized for the weight of that stone, which is something the operator should've been able to figure out on the first lift. Sad, but it was completely avoidable.

@ Patricio: "Jews shooting unarmed Arab teens in the head because they feel like it. There are a lot of ugly things going on in the Middle East, and there is plenty of blame to go around.

"Jews running over American citizens with tanks." Referring I presume to Rachel Corrie; I don't know a lot about her case, but I do know that someone does not get run over by a tank or bulldozer without putting themselves in the wrong place and failing to get herself the he11 out of the way. Certainly there are conflicting stories from both sides of the issue; but neither side is without bias, and with their handling of so-called photographic evidence, the ISM hasn't helped their own cause in the least.

"Christian terrorists shooting doctors and health care workers because of what the Bible says." = example of something done by a very small handful of misguided pro-life extremists who share about as much in the way of ideology with the average Christian as you and I apparently share. The big difference between these extremists and the Muslim extremists is that the Muslims are in large part encouraged in their terrorism by their religious leaders, or at least not discouraged. Name for me one notable Christian leader who condones the murder of "doctors and health care workers" in the name of Christianity, or at least one who doesn't condemn it.

"Christian politicians and pundits advocating the forced conversion of non-Christians around the world." Again, how about some citations for these baseless claims?

"A push in right wing American Christian politics towards the emimination of non-believers." ??? What the...? Not sure what to think of this one; "emimination"? Could you possibly mean "elimination"? If so, I call BS on this one too.

"An evangelical Christian American president, GWB, lying to his citizens to start a war that has ended up not only bankrupting our country, but killing exponentially more people than any hijab-wearing retarded Muslim girl ever could." Here you give yourself away as yet another left-wing Bush hater, but one who goes the extra step of equating "Christian" with "unquestioning Bush supporter". That's an assumption that you really shouldn't make, because it is so terribly separated from reality.

You seem to view every Christian as a "radical" when nothing could be further from the truth. The vast majority of Christians don't want to take over America in the least. We really don't want anything much different than the average secularist wants; to be allowed to live our lives as we see fit in an ordered society without the extreme viewpoints of people who believe differently being forced upon us.

So, yes, Patricio; I do get it, and I think most would agree that I have a much better grasp of reality than you.

Interesting that Polx's concern about homeopathy is that it's "harming the Health services in the UK"; no possibility that it's the incompetence of bureaucrats that's at least partly at fault there?

Or maybe it's the memory of the water in the River Thames that has reportedly been drank who-knows-how-many-times?

Eewww.

"I wasn’t really good at anything else that I liked."

Where does that attitude come from? If you like something, you work at it until you get good at it, don't you? I'd say he's "good" at video gaming because it doesn't really require much in the way of cognitive thinking.

He'd better start practicing the line, "Would you like fries with that?"

@Patricio & no-god: I was wondering when the "it’s all radical religions that are a threat" comment would come up. When's the last time you saw a Christian, radical or no, strap a vest packed with explosives on a mentally retarded girl & send her into a crowded market, then detonate that vest?

Do you people ever even listen to yourselves? I guess I wouldn't either.

Oh no! Dolphin society has been tainted by contact with evil humans! Nature will never be the same.

Humiliation? Nah. I think a tad bit of dignity is a prerequisite for that, and these bozos sure didn't start with any dignity.

I thought the same as Jeffala; wait 'til the state has to foot the bill for angioplasty or a bypass.

Any bets on whether some greasy lawyer will try to get him off by claiming the food was part of a coercion effort? Either that or the fatty, greasy food could be considered cruel & unusual punishment.

"Slower than a goldfish." Ummm... That's what most people would call a lame comparison, especially considering that the goldfish has a serious home-field advantage in the water.

Nice try, anarchy, but those examples aren't going to enjoy the cash quite as much as Mike will.

Ok, Johnny Cat, I'll bite; what's the Geiger model?

Wow, that's freaky!

Speaking of Alien-like features in real life, we have a nest of Cicada Killer Wasps in our back yard. They are monster-size — up to 2 inches long — and are named for their propensity to sting cicadas to paralyze them, then bring them back to their nest where an egg is laid on them and the larva that hatches feeds on the live cicada. Creepy, no?

My son was freaking out about the wasps, so we did some research on them to show him that they don't bother — or sting — people. He's still not entirely comfortable with them though.

"Come on, ya pansy!"
