 Telling God Goodbye
At this point I fully discovered and finally accepted so many things that never really made sense; the numerous contradictions and discrepancies found in the bible, the incongruous character of god as revealed in scripture, the degradation of women, the support of slavery, the fallacy of answered prayer, the problem of suffering, the denial of self, the dismissal of scientific evidence and in general the harmful teachings of religions.

 The Japanese soldier who held out in Guam
It's exactly 40 years since a Japanese soldier was found in the jungles of Guam, having survived there for nearly three decades after the end of World War II. He was given a hero's welcome on his return to Japan - but never quite felt at home in modern society.

 Venn Diagram: Portland and Brooklyn are Virtually the Same City
On the heels of Portlandia parody Brokelandia, comes this Venn Diagram by Brooklynite Julie Gerstein, which sums up the similarities between Portland and Brooklyn in terms of similarities - of which there are many - and differences, of which there are few: namely, Portland has affordable rent, and Brooklyn has Maggie Gyllenhaal.

 Victoria Jackson: Nutty Nutty Nut Nut
Victoria Jackson doesn't want to meet at her house. "The Nation of Islam wants to kill me," she explains apologetically in her inimitable shrill voice. Instead, she picks up a reporter at a Miami-area strip mall.

 Yakub: The Crazy Sciencetist
in Malcolm X's travels in the Middle East, many Muslims reacted with shock upon hearing about the doctrine of Yakub, which, while present in NOI theology, does not appear in mainstream Islam
I totally forgot all about Yakub.

 Review: Lana Del Rey
What's happening now is Lana Del Rey released an album that sounds so completely f%cking mental that it simply shouldn't exist. It sounds like the soundtrack to a James Bond movie directed by and starring twelve year olds.

 Better
From businesses we've never heard of, to countries we've never visited, to infants who've had the random misfortune to be born into a family that's on TV – it's all grist for obvious jokes and shortsighted commentary that, for at least a few minutes, helps both the maker and the consumer feel a little less bored, a little less vulnerable, and a little less disconnected. For a minute, anyway, it makes us feel more alive. Does me, anyway.

 I hope to one day be a "suppressive person"
What the women from the church wanted Edie Fields to read and sign was a three page document that declared her a "suppressive person" or "SP," an enemy of the church, and someone no person who wanted to remain in good standing with Scientology could associate with in any way.
