No worries. Just don't eat any Pop Rocks for awhile.

Nonsense. I have tended bar forever and opened thousands upon thousands of bottles. Nothing like that has ever happened to anyone I have ever heard of and I have heard of every stupid, drunken, drug addled way to injure yourself in a bar or restaurant.

You're actually wrong. She IS liberal and feminist, but she is not Catholic. She's catholic in a vague warm fuzzy way because she likes to think of herself as being a "spiritual person", but like most religious people, the actual contents of the religious script is largely irrelevant. They invent their own rules,…

I do, so technically one person cares.

The place where bullshit crunchy liberalism and bullshit libertarian conservatism converge is around being anti-science and as those voices grow increasingly louder and more hysterical I, for one, am terrified for the future of rationality and good judgement.

I hope Cordileone didn't drunk-drive the bus to Washington.

Sadly, Archbishop Cordileone, Pope Benedict's little gift to a godless San Francisco Bay Area, was a featured speaker.

To his credit, Dr. Phil has a mantra: treat medical problems with medical resolutions and treat relational problems with a professional therapist. I don't think his advice to guests on the show is dangerous. I think he gives ethical, professional help to people who come to him for direction. I don't always agree with…

You know what works to lose weight on the Oregon Trail? Dysentery.

When he first started out on television he was actually helpful. Of course, he realized that there was more money in shilling and putting his name on products, even if they chose their wording carefully. If his show was just about sound health advice I wouldn't have a problem with him.

That's not a crucifix— it's a cross. A crucifix must have Jesus on top of two overlapping dicks for it to be a crucifix dick. Or, a cross with a crucified dick. You meant dick cross. I just said dick a lot of times.

"The Roman gold pendant in the shape of a phallus that was discovered in 2011 in Hillington, Norfolk, has become such a popular exhibit at theLynn Museum that replicas will be sold at the gift shop." It's also described as "small but proud"

"Penises as religious icons: just what this world is lacking." I kind of think we've had this for a while. Check out the dude's abs:

Well there are a lot of dicks in religious circles

No, but I do believe we can rule out the ones that have been scientifically proven not to work. Rather than assume "but I don't like science so my hippy-dippy natural magic cure might start working if I pray hard enough."

A coworker of mine actually caused her one year old daughter to became deaf since she persisted in "curing" an ear infection with homeopathy. Her pediatrician told her she had to stop that, most of her family told her too and she was rabid in her defence of the "real" method opposed to the "evil western medicine" (her…

I think the point "homeopathy is literally magic" needs to be expanded upon further. Specifically, homeopathy is strictly more magical than alchemy and Bigfoot. Homeopathy does not in any sense operate on scientific principles; instead, it operates on the two key principles of sympathetic magic as outlined in the…

Also: how do they control which substances the water "remembers"? If they use tap water, how do they make it "forget" all the sewage it's been in contact with?

Never mind that in at least a few of these examples, there is demonstrable harm that comes from people believing them, right?

Ah, our old friend the tone argument. It's good to see you again.
