Pope Francis Brings Christmas Cheer To Rome’s Children’s Hospital PHOTOS

Pope Francis Brings Christmas Cheer To Rome’s Children’s Hospital PHOTOS. How terribly sad.  It’s sad that the children are sick; it is my belief that suffering children are evidence that any god that may exist is certainly not benevolent.  It’s also … Continue reading

snopes.com: White House Ban on ‘Christmas’ Trees. Okay, here we go again.  I’m….I’m….indignant!  How can people be so stupid as to have to worry about what the frigging White House does vis-a-vis their stupid god — or demi-god?  Is their silly Jay-zuss … Continue reading

Who gives two squirts?
