Which Wine Goes Best With Human Face? Maynard James Keenan Has the Answer Thank you Steve for introducing me to Maynard and TOOL all those years ago. My existence is all the more distorted because of it. BTW, Pennsylvania has more than a few religiously fashioned laws about the shipping of alcohol over state lines. If anyone can get us a bottle of red from Merkin Vineyards or Caduceus Cellars. We’ll send you a Left Hemispheres t-shirt. Steve and I have vowed to polish off a bottle together and some of our best blog posts emerge from said encounters.
Studies say atheists, believers both do good, but for different reasons
A Religion of Children “These irrational children, with their ridiculous theology, throw sometimes hilariously pathetic temper tantrums, screaming from the top of the sandbox at the other children not inside their skewed sense of ‘moral’ reality. They care little for what is in fact moral, and instead prefer to use the Bible as a guide to venerate their own bigotry, allegedly under the guise of doing God’s work, or, for the slightly more humble, following God’s Word.”
Is Atheism Increasing at the Expense of Theism?

Pat Tillman Cross” comes down On its face, this situation initially looked like someone intentionally included Pat Tillman in a Christian-themed memorial. The truth was more like a kind-hearted Christian woman’s gesture of honoring fallen soldiers overlooked the fact that many of those soldiers were not themselves Christians. Justin Griffith of Rock beyond Belief led the charge, then had a mature, respectful dialogue with the creator of the memorial. There’s a larger lesson here about perceived vs. actual dishonor/intolerance.

I was at the dojo last night with my son and we were waiting for my daughter to be done with her lesson. I remembered the paedomorphic dinosaur post from Why Evolution is True and explained it to him. Got a few looks from the other parents.
