I got a lot of feedback on the iron joke yesterday. Let me take it another direction. When something hurts you, you tend to want to avoid it. No one likes getting hurt. No one likes the feelings and pain that it brings. Yet, there are people who entertain themselves with pain. Sick as it [...]
A man showed up at church with his ears painfully blistered. After the service, his concerned pastor asked “What in the world happened to you?”
The man replied, “I was lying on the couch yesterday afternoon watching a ball game on TV and my wife was ironing nearby. I was totally engrossed in the game when [...]

All things considered, we have [...]

Brad Pitt came up with some common objections to religion and Christianity
