The Happening

This isn't anything new for Catholicism. I was talking to my mother the other day about older teachings. In fact, she's the one that emailed me a link to an article about what the Pope said.

I can't understand how people can believe something written a couple of thousand of years ago as though the people back then had some direct link to their creator... I mean come on, if he spoke to folks back then, why wait two thousand years before picking up the phone again?

I can't even get into this argument, because I find divinity and creationism so dully ignorant. One book vs. science and logic. Ugh. I just can't deal with it.

And it better damned well be Katie Sackoff...

The show is worth it just for moments like this:

His ability to spin believable realpolitik into his stories might be that special thing that makes it so good. I can't think of another book that surprised me with so many twists and turns without ever making me lose my suspension of disbelief.

i'm kidding. Can people tell i'm kidding?...

DEAR GOD I'M KIDDING!!!!
