Why Pennsylvania is now a better state than Kansas (sorry Miftha)
Sorry Pat you jackass!

You've obviously never driven on Pennsylvania's highway system.

I take it it is not by "intelligent design" :lol:

Are they as bad as Idaho drivers as told by a previous post of yours.

I've done a couple cross-country drives, and I've been through a lot of shitty conditions. Pennsylvania by a landslide has the worst highway conditions. I don't know, but I'm fairly certain their maintenance is being handled by organized crime, or some kind of no-bid nepotism thing.

As someone who has a deep, abiding respect for Jesus the philosopher, as opposed to Jesus the deity, every time these people start talking it just makes me sad. They do the legacy more harm than good.

I agree. I have found that the best takes on religion come from the Monty Python crew. I guess since they were raised with it everyday of their adolescent years with school, they had a broader vision of what religion should be than I do.

This is from the "Meaning of Life" and perhaps my favorite take on modern religion.
Chaplain Michael Palin leading the congregation in a Hymn, wrote: Chaplain: [singing] Oh Lord, please don't burn us/Don't grill or toast your flock/Don't put us on the barbecue/Or simmer us in stock/Don't braise or bake or boil us/Or stir-fry us in a wok.

Oh please don't lightly poach us/Or baste us with hot fat/Don't fricassee or roast us/Or boil us in a vat/And please don't stick thy servants Lord/In a Rotiss-o-mat.
