    I'm rooting for an aneurysm. I didn't have much of an opinion on the anthem issue before Trump inserted himself into the conversation. As long as the Trump regime is in power, I hope I don't see a single NFL player stand for the anthem.

            Come to think of it, there is a real problem with the prodigal son parable I'd never noticed before.

            Based on the fact that the party celebrating the prodigal's return was ongoing as the older son returned from his daily work, assuming the older son was living with the father's household and would have been there that morning, the younger son would have arrived well into the day, likely allowing less than 12 hours of time to cook before the party. Which means the father either didn't cook brisket or didn't cook it right.

            So did the father REALLY love his sons?

              I’m sure he used the hot and fast technique.

                Like I said-- does he REALLY love his son?

                  "...you pointy-headed autopsy nerd. Do you think it's possible for you to post without using words like "hilarious," "absurd," "canard," and "truther"? Your bare assertions do not make it so. Maybe your reasoning is too stunted and your vocabulary is too limited to go without these epithets."

                    "Discipleship is not a spectator sport. We cannot expect to experience the blessing of faith by standing inactive on the sidelines any more than we can experience the benefits of health by sitting on a sofa watching sporting events on television and giving advice to the athletes. And yet for some, “spectator discipleship” is a preferred if not primary way of worshipping." -Pres. Uchtdorf

                    • Nike's decision to go with Kap as the face of the "Just Do It" campaign is an interesting, calculated risk. Will Orange Julius call out Nike, and what effect will this have on the Nike brand? I would have enjoyed listening in on the decision-making process.

                        I think Kap’s ill-defined and unfocused protest is no longer worth talking about, but that Nike poster is really stupid. Believe in something? How about only something good or worthwhile? If you’re putting EVERYTHING on the altar, the something better be very important.

                          Prepare to put mustard on those words, for you will soon be consuming them, along with this slice of humble pie that comes direct from the oven of shame set at gas mark “egg on your face”! -- Moss

                          There are three rules that I live by: never get less than twelve hours sleep; never play cards with a guy who has the same first name as a city; and never get involved with a woman with a tattoo of a dagger on her body. Now you stick to that, and everything else is cream cheese. --Coach Finstock

                              • This showed up in my twitter feed this morning:
                                One of the grandest benefits of the enlightenment was the realization that our moral sense must be based on the welfare of living individuals, not on their immortal souls. Honest and passionate folks can strongly disagree regarding spiritual matters, so it's imperative that we not allow such considerations to infringe on the real happiness of real people.

                                I believe religion has much inherent good and has born many good fruits.
