On September 4, 2012, when the results came in after the last provincial election in Québec, a man went to the Parti Québecois victory party, shot two people, killed one person, and set a fire before leaving the scene. He was charged with murder, three attempted murders, arson and a few other things. There might [...]
Admittedly, the following vastly oversimplifies the science but, as I understand it, the earth’s landmasses are floating tectonic plates. As those plates rub up against each other, or one slides under another, friction initially holds them in place. Eventually, after sufficient pressure builds up, energy is released as the earth shutters shudders when the plates [...]
Many people see scientology as a cult that is, to say the least, a tad bizarre. (He said, waiving his hand wildly in the air to ensure that he is counted among them.) Despite agreeing with these people, I find it somewhat humorous to consider the views of some of the folks who share this [...]

I know it’s politically incorrect to call people stupid, but screw [...]
If you believe in the Book of Genesis in the Old Testament, which is the foundation of Judeo-Christian faith, I think you have to come to the conclusion that God has a Type A personality and is a touch less than omnipotent.
