I saw Saw.  Opening night a bunch of my buddies and I patronized the local cinema to experience the latest in the Saw franchise and I have to say, &#8220;Excuse me, Sir, I&#8217;d like a refund.&#8221;

We all know Albus Dumbledore is believed to be gay. It&#8217;s all over the internet. While reading online earlier, I came across another video clip I hadn&#8217;t yet seen:

I immediately send the link to Autumn to get her opinion. I thought it would be interesting to post a raw conversation she and I had. Autumn [...]]]></description>

I recently drove past a rural church and read their marquee:
&#8220;Members only. Trespassers will be baptized!&#8221;
The quasi-harmless message of active recruitment into the faith disturbs me. Let me explain. The fact that the congregation is actively recruiting does not actually bother me in the least. Religions throughout time have survived by spreading their faith by [...]]]></description>
