Earlier tonight I was looking over my kid's fourth quarter grades on Edline. Happily she passed every class (as if I had any doubts) and it looks like clear sailing to the Sixth Grade.
The last class I checked was Religion. She aced it as usual, but what gave me pause to LOL was the graphic plastered on the Religion home page:
Now seriously, look at this. Just what is Jesus doing there? I'm thinking he's either going to:
- French kiss
- Mind-meld, or
- Crush her trachea
Whatever's going on, he's way too close for comfort, and the intense Jesus Stare is uber creepy. On the website the image was blown up by about 50%, so the effect was even more potent. Actually, it reminded me of this, which is also symbolically concordant with my opinion of organized religion.
BTW, she also aced science and math. I'm directing her academic focus on that now. We'll deal with the religion later, together.

It's a Catholic school. We send her there for a couple of reasons. First, our home public school district has some of the worst academic stats in the state, and giving our kids the best education possible is a high priority for us. Second, as I mentioned here, it's a choice that's keeping the peace with other members of our family.
My wife and I were both raised in Catholic families, and we both went to parochial elementary and high schools. As far as science classes go, my experience was that the teachers taught straightforward science, without any suggestion that a god was behind it all. Thankfully, this seems to hold true with my daughter's science classes as well. In truth, a couple of the best science classes I ever had (AP Biology and Physics) were taught by a nun and a priest, respectively. Evolution--always a hot subject--was taught as a fact, which when you think about it is loaded with irony and/or contradiction for the Church, since it effectively nullifies the whole Original Sin argument.

1. Apparently jesus is Richard Chamberlain with special shogun mind control powers.
2. I understand that ever since Teilhard De Chardin, the Catholic church agrees evolution is a fact and does not conflict with the bible. I have also read that spokesmen for the church agree that genesis and revelations are allegorical and not meant to be literal.

Its young Clint Eastwood, asking the little punks if they're feeling lucky.

I don't know what you guys are bitchin about. It's just a picture of Jesus cradling a decapitated baby head before he sucks its little soul out through the eye sockets. Didn't you guys ever read the bible?

In many Western Christian Children’s books Jebus is depicted as a tall light skinned thin lipped straight nosed Caucasian with long flowing light brown or blond hair and bright blue eyes; and the small urchins at this feet have these same features.
Because of course everyone living in Northern Africa and the Middle East has exactly these SAME Caucasian features!

| Sexual Asspussy | This is awesome.
This is the first pornsite I've found in years that I'd actually advertise to swarmers. When you first load it up, it looks just like every crappy scam site out there, except that it's real. It's huge, it's updated constantly, there's no spam, no popups, and no bullshit -- and it's completely free. When you sign up through that link above and respond to the confirmation email, I make a bit of loose change.
See what other swarmers have to say about it. People love this place, so I feel fine about sending you there and am confident you will enjoy boners.
