Wait, BYU kicks kids off of teams if they have sex? Oh man, that is rich. And my niece goes there. I feel for her, truly.

BYU is super strict Mormon land. Even SLC appears liberal once you drive down to Utah County. SLC is 50/50 in regards to Mo vs Non Mo. Provo is more like 90/10.

You can feel for her...but the boys at the school cannot.

Ba da bump.

An imam of an east London mosque has been subject to death threats and intimidation for expressing his views on evolution and women's right to refuse the veil.
Dr Usama Hasan, vice-chairman at Leyton mosque and a senior lecturer in engineering at Middlesex University, ceased delivering Friday prayers after 25 years of service when 50 Muslim protesters disrupted his lecture by handing out leaflets against him and shouting in the mosque for his execution.

I love that video on the Bible, Zimbochick. I really don't know how so many people can take the Bible so literally! I just don't get it. We have some friends who just found religion in their 40s and they are driving us nuts, trying to get us to come to their church and be saved. They even have a faith healer who comes in every so often to their mega-church and our friends claim the faith healer can make my husband walk again. Ya, sure.

I'd take them up on the faith healer thing. At best the dude can perform miracles. At worst, you have a fun story, a great moment of "told you so!" and the endless enjoyment of watching them jump through logical hoops to explain why it didn't work.

Subway this morning, some bible lady gets on - walks up and down yelling about how much Jesus loves us and the fires of hell. At this point I always wonder to myself - if the message is so important, why send such terrible messengers?

We thought about doing that just for the fun of it, but my husband has a very limited vocabulary and 'fuck', 'shit' and 'Jesus Chris' are the words that comes out the most often. He's got a big booming voice and when he's disgusted with something out comes the choice words. He is very anti-religion and a faith healer working with him would get an x-rated review of his so-called talents. All I can visualize with that scenario is a skit on Saturday Night Live.

Cousin it: That Benny Hinn is something else, isn't he. Mass hypnotist or mini stun guns up his sleeves?

Oh, but if you videotaped it, that would be the sweetest thing ever to watch.
