Black atheists are coming out of the closet
Just like the saying, “there are no atheists in foxholes,” it is often said, “there are no black atheists.” I know my friend Reggie (The Infidel Guy), has joked about being the token black guy at atheist gatherings. He is our Lando (Chasing Amy reference). By the way, congratulations to Reggie for celebrating 10 years [...]

Thanks to the good folks of Texas, the teaching of “intelligent design” along with evolution has been a hot topic lately. This is one of the reasons I have chosen the below video for today’s Lunch Break Theater. The other reason, because it’s awesome.

Old Mother Hubbard saw Jesus in her cupboard
Look no further, Erica Conner has found Jesus:
On the same day Erica Conner listened to visiting author Don Piper give his purported glimpse of heaven from his book, “90 Minutes in Heaven,” she got her own peek into the supernatural, she said.
… she came home to find something she’d never noticed before in the wood [...]
