I have to preface this post by saying that in comparing the two, I am in no way trying to suggest that religion should be made illegal. I realize that if we all found out god wasn’t real tomorrow, far too many people would lose their minds and make our world a literal hell.
That said, I now return you to our regularly scheduled program…
At first glance, comparing religion to steroids can seem a bit bold and even offensive to a lot of people, which is understandable. That doesn’t mean the …

I normally don’t like getting into these hypothetical race discussions, but this one is very telling: If Obama had fallen in love with a woman that looked more like his own mother, he may not have sniffed the Democratic Convention in 2004, much less received enough votes to become president back in November.
It’s no secret that people still have strong feelings against interracial marriage — specifically between a white and black person. We’ve obviously come far in these past hundred or so years where it was against the law to …

Everyone has their own interpretation of god. Our environment, our experiences, and what we were taught all play into whether or not we believe in god, and if so, what it looks and acts like. Well, I figure I might as well join in on the fun and lay down my version of a personified god if one were to exist.
I have to preface this by saying that I don’t currently believe a god actually exists, but since I haven’t ruled out the possibility all together — you know, the …

I don’t have any facts to back that up, I just used it as a pretty graphic illustration of how much people can’t stand to openly talk about religion. Sorry for getting your hopes up if you were expecting facts about people pooping in public.
Something like 80% of people in this country consider themselves to be Christian, and yet by my own estimation, I’d say about 2% of this segment (yes, I’m saying only one out of 50 Christians) will actually openly discuss their religious beliefs.
I get the sense that …

I may have listened to Superstition by Stevie Wonder about sixty gabillion times in my life, but like most songs I listen to, I just liked the sound and barely paid much attention to the actual lyrics. I mean I knew most of the words, but it just never dawned on me that this was almost an unintentional atheist anthem of sorts until I actually read the lyrics:
When you believe in things that you don’t understand, then you suffer. Superstition ain’t the way.
Now I’m pretty sure that Stevie didn’t mean …

This is actually very simple stuff. It only gets complicated when people try and justify their beliefs by adding a ton of extra nonsensical things into the equation.
Well, here it is in a nutshell:
When someone says something extraordinary, we don’t believe them unless there’s a compelling reason to do so. That’s it.
When I say ‘we’, I mean Christians included. No one can be perpetually naive and gullible as to believe everything anyone says. Humans naturally use discretion…some are just more consistent with their discretion than others.
That’s why people don’t believe …

I’m not even going to try and hide it that I’m hatin’ on the guy. He’s incredibly successful at what he does and has made a ton of money in the process. This isn’t necessarily a knock on Tyler Perry the man, but just these incredibly wack TV shows that TBS is promoting like they’re the funniest thing since Afro Ninja.
I’ve seen a couple of his movies and they were actually pretty funny but that’s got nothing to do with the fact that these two TV shows — House of …

You know that feeling you get when someone asks you whether or not you believe in a place where people you know and possibly love will burn in excruciating pain for all eternity? Well, that feeling is your morality telling you something’s not quite right. But wait! How could your own personal sense of morality be at odds with what the Bible says…if that’s where you get your morals from? The simple answer, of course, is that humanity developed/evolved into its own moral code that has nothing to do with …

It’s very easy to mistake my wanting to talk about religion as much as I do for someone that simply wants to argue or prove someone wrong. I don’t blame anyone for thinking that since the world is polluted with people that want nothing more than to cause chaos and/or make themselves feel better at others’ expense.
Well, I’m not going to lie and say I don’t enjoy a good clean debate, but the main reason I enjoy religious discussion is because of my curiosity for the truth in the matter. …

Hold on there all you naive sportswriters and Yankee fans. I thought the Yankees tried this approach for the past five or so years where they went after every top player they could throw money at and/or trade their entire farm system to get? It didn’t work then, it’s not going to work now, and here’s why:
1. Only one team has won the World Series with the highest paid player in the last 80 years
Technically, no team has done it since the 1928 Yankees with Babe Ruth as the game’s …
