Earthquakes and Such

Earthquakes are not caused by 200-year-old pacts made with the devil. For those who actually believe that such pacts cause natural catastrophes, I would kindly request that you keep your superstitions to yourself.

This is what causes earthquakes.

Please direct any funds or donations you might be giving to The 700 Club (this link mentions NOTHING about the earthquake in Haiti) or the Christian Broadcasting Network (this link, btw, has a pretty lame press release about comments made yesterday) over to Earthquake relief for Haiti.

Here's one place you can donate. (Scroll down on the page and click the "Donate Now" button.)

And don't forget to pray for the people of Haiti in their time of deep distress and turmoil, and for the relief workers for the difficult tasks that lie before them.

Also, join with me in waiting for Pat Robertson's apology. Again.

Potato Cross

A Cross in a Potato? Big deal. Yesterday my family and I had pulled pork on hamburger buns for dinner, and the wrinkles on the crown of my son's hamburger bun spelled the word "Hi". It was very distinguishable, and... such a cordial little bun taking the time to greet my son like that!

We aren't going to sell it on eBay because my son ate the sandwich.

The funniest part of the cross in the potato being sold on eBay is that someone will actually buy it! Tool.

And we wonder why Christianity is in trouble here in the Western Hemisphere. TBN doesn't help much either. (Had to get a cheap shot in there somewhere).

Jesus, or anything having to do with Jesus, is one of America's favorite consumer items and theatrical props. We jus' loves our celebrities, don't we?
