What the fuck is wrong with you?

But the Bible is not just a work of fiction. It is also a history in places, and guide to living for hundreds of millions of people for thousands of years. It's not "Of Mice and Men." You'd have to teach it in that context to understand the Bible.

Of course it does. Religion is a major driving force in modern culture and has been throughout history. No education is complete without a firm knowledge of world religion.

It's up to the teacher and school to explain why one is appropriate and is not. Assignments have rubrics and within the rubric the limits and expectations of the assignment must be explicitly stated.

You're missing the point. A student could just as easily write an anti-Christian or pro-gay research paper or essay as anything else. This seems like unnecessary legislation, but it protects free speech. If a teacher shuts down any anti-gay opinions because he or she doesn't agree with them, that's just as wrong as…

I'm very progressive and I'm totally fine with this bill. I was an English teacher for many years. I've read and graded thousands of essays and hundreds of class presentations. Some were inevitably about religion or other controversial topics. Sometimes, the point was to take a stance and defend it. The grade was…

Hate her.

It's just trashy, not sexy. I mean sexy is one thing, whoreish behavior is another. Dressing like this, and being made up like this in public is definitely not sexy.

Oh, that Rihanna: Total class, all the time.

But Jezebel's nuanced coverage of the political unrest in Venezuela's provincial elections has been first-rate.

But Joan Rivers has something a dumb whore like Kim Khardashian will never have: talent and an actual career. It should always be noted in every story about the Khardashians that their family fame started with Pops K, who only helped his best friend OJ Simpson get away with cutting a woman's head off. I would think a…

It's called the PONTIAC Silverdome because it's in Pontiac, MI, not Detroit, dumbass. But it is true that Republicans fuck up America on a regular basis, only to be saved by Democratic presidents in turn.

Why does Anna Wintour get to be the prom committee president and say, "Oh my God, you are like soooooo not wearing that, Madonna. Go home, girl."

Sure, but you can't go topless to the MET gala. Go to a nude beach. That's where you can show pride in your body.

DC sports teams tease you bad, then rip your heart out. That Nats-Cards Game 5 in 2012 still brings chills.

Really well-written. "God's own personal trainer" is a great, great image.

oops first sentence should say "that's not too far..."

Well, yeah, that's too far from what I think might be the case. That this extra-universal super-creator could basically give a shit less about the lives on one random planet in one random universe among many. It is possible to believe in a supreme being but reject most human religious traditions. That's kind of where…

I think God allows free will, total and complete free will. He or She will let you do whatever you want. It's how we deal with our free will that matters.

I don't think you do have logic on your side. The Big Bang is highly illogical, in fact. And you have no evidence that it happened in one particular way or another. And besides, how did all the matter in the universe creative itself out of less than nothing. When you scientists can grow a star in your empty, old tube…
