The BBC reports that the while the US is one of the most religious countries in the west, it is undergoing a period of doubt.

More than anything, people without faith hate the description of them as empty or soulless. They have long been singled out for a special kind of hell.

Speaking of canaries, I had one once that was sensitive to bullshit instead of methane. It was dead in its cage long ago. And speaking of Mormons, I was born one, but not raised one. I understand that every time a virgin walks past the Temple in Salt Lake City, the gold statue of the archangel Moroni blows his horn. Could we arrange a parade of Pastafarian Wenches there, some time????
I know…it’s been a while since I learned them…you don’t get to use them, though.
Mormons have funny hats.
You don’t use them ever???!!!
There goes 3 weeks of my life. Wasted in maths class.
@Keep the baby, Faith. We killed your canary? I am sorry. I will get you one that is deaf. Or blind in this case.
No, and they are so fucking confusing!
One unsensitive to bullshit.
