Quote for the day

For three months, all the other candidates have been shaking their heads and muttering, “I’m losing to this guy?” Now Trump knows how they feel. And I don’t really blame any of them. Trailing either Trump or Carson is enough to make anyone start to doubt their own sanity.

Dismal theology tweet for the day

Because, you know, y’all are no damn good so you should just shut up and do as you’re told and be grateful that you probably won’t spend eternity on fire like you deserve, you worthless sewage. Amen.

Gratitude

A nice riff by Tom Rich on giving thanks.

Take responsibility not just for your failings and screw-ups, but for your successes too. If God can get the credit for everything we ever did right, then why doesn’t he get any blame for anything that is wrong? It’s our fault when we fail, it’s his blessings when we succeed? Tell that to the kids and their parents in the cancer wards; and to starving, abused and neglected children everywhere.

Well said. And I’ll add one of my own pet peeves — the cosmic blessing of a successful surgery.

It was the scientists, doctors, and engineers whose thousands of hours devoted to the most exacting study, while idiot preachers were conniving at undermining their education, that developed the know-how and technology that plucked-out grammy’s gall bladder. And shame on anybody so out of touch with reality that he can’t see that.
