This will cheer me up

Normally, facebook is pretty good about knowing what's going on in my life, and my personal tastes in single ladies, music, and Jim Doyle. But sometimes it's good to know that the artificial intelligence can get things completely backwards, too. Be happy, everyone: facebook becoming self-aware and playing nice games of thermonuclear war and Farmville is less likely than we thought.

Sidenote: Anyone who gives or gets the atheism shirt for Christmas gets a sweet visit from the irony fairy.

Homophobia doesn't lead to repentance. Guilt might, but the Accuser was a murderer from the beginning and knows how to make people feel guilty, too. And believing that there can be no forgiveness is the last thought that went through Judas' mind.

Maybe if that kid knew just what happened on a Friday two thousand years ago he'd still be alive. Maybe others would too. But how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them?

But what shall we preach? That there is no law and therefore no transgression?

And so John came, baptizing in the desert region and preaching a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins.

Jeremiah Was A Pretty Good Prophet

No more after this, I promise.
