Everyone should definitely take a moment to double check the citations. But the truth is you also often need to do it with books too. I remember as a kid if you found something in the book it was like set in stone. It was not until I was in high school really that I had the revelation that books was a lot like the news and they are often very biased.

Yes, “creationist” at that date means “not deist”.

There once was an elderly pastor in a nursing home. One day, he felt his time was near, so he summoned his lawyer and his car mechanic to come in. They did, and he asked them to stand at either side of him.

Puzzled, they asked the pastor, “What can we do for you?”

The pastor replied, “The Bible tells us that Christ died between two thieves. And I wanted to go the same way!”

The fact that some people can’t distinguish between etymology and entomology bugs me in ways I can’t put into words.

Is that a double-double?

Saw a great face mask that said, “It goes over your nose.”
