When I was a kid, politicians wanted to avoid talking about religion if they could. John F. Kennedy couldn't duck the issue, being Catholic and all. So how did he address it? By reminding Americans th...
For the most part, any serious magic show is not using very much technology newer than theatrical lights.
Computers absolutely changed my life. Before I had a computer, I had never written one thing. Not one thing. I'm a very bad speller and I was embarrassed by that. When I would type, the little mistake...

Counterintuitive actions prove we can trust real knowledge and do the opposite of what we feel makes sense.
What I have a problem with is not so much religion or god, but faith. When you say you believe something in your heart and therefore you can act on it, you have completely justified the 9/11 bombers....

I'm totally against straight marriage - even though I'm married. I don't think heterosexual marriage is any of the government's business.
I will not counter the insanity of the PATRIOT Act with an overblown fear of my rights being taken away.

A lot of people, to attack an outspoken atheist, one of the things they'll do is say, 'You are as bad as the fundamentalist Christians.' And my answer is always, 'I hope so.'
