"We should applaud him [Tim Tebow], not tear him down. We need more heroes like this for young kids to look up to" - Kathy Lee Gifford

So my understanding of the realm of feetball being pretty limited, I have to take the word of those more knowledgeable than myself when they say that Tim Tebow and the Denver Broncos are doing WAY better than they should be this year.

I'll defer to folks like Tebow's pastor, Wayne Hanson, who runs the Summit Church in suburban Denver, when he says "the Broncos wouldn’t be winning games if God hadn’t decided to reward Tebow’s religious beliefs."

Tebow is a nut. And not a good one, like a cashew or a Brazil nut, but one of those crappy ones, like hazelnuts or whatever.

To think that an imaginary God cares who wins a sporting event is crazy. There are pious and devout people praying for both teams, I'm sure. How is God to decide? Is it, as Pastor Hanson said, a reward for the quality of Tebow's devotion? NO!! It doesn't matter how pious and sincere Tebow is, his devotion is still to an imaginary friend. And to think that Tebow's imaginary friend is going to help Tebow's team because HE likes the showboating and "humble" dedication to HIM is painting a pretty petty picture of the kind of god that inspires Tebow's dedication. Also, Tebow.

My point though, is that Kathy is an idiot. People with ridiculous ideas and beliefs should have them torn down if they are going to parade them in front of the world. And we don't need more people like Tebow for kids to look up to. We need people that can actually think and reason. (And apparently throw a football?)

    Hey, I like hazelnuts. And by the way, Tim, Matthew 6:5 and stuff.

Why I always believe rape victims

On October 31st, 1997, I was raped. I cannot prove it. I cannot provide physical evidence that it happened. I apologize to the internet jury that the only thing I have to offer is my story, which is linked at the end of this blog. When a woman comes forward accusing someone of raping them, I assume they are telling the truth. Getting hard data reports of rape is difficult, given that roughly 70%  of rapes go unreported , but for the 30% of men and women who have the strength to go through the ordeal of reporting their assault, it's estimated 2-10% are false claims . In this scenario, if there are 1000 rapes, and only 30% are reported, 6-30 of those claims might be false. If there are 1000 rapes, and 100% are reported, 0.6-3  of those claims might be false.  So yes, false claims happen. And the people who have done this has made it possible to accuse every. single. woman. who comes forward with a rape allegation of being a liar. Interestingly enough, this doesn't seem to be

I apologize for not intentionally startling you, cranky lady

Having spent the last several months going on not too infrequent bike rides, I've developed the ability to predict whether it's necessary to alert someone walking in front of me that I'm going to be passing on their left. It is definitely common courtesy, but in my experience, mostly unnecessary. If you're walking ahead of me, I'm going to have plenty of time to observe your walking "style" and decide whether you might need a little heads up that I'm going to ride by. If you're doing a great job of walking in a straight line and staying on the right-side of the path (super proud of you, btw), I typically decide that I can trust you not wander into oncoming traffic without looking first. I have found that I am more likely to startle you by ringing my bell than by riding past you, and that unpleasantness usually seems wholly unnecessary. However, if you're a wanderer or part of a larger group of walkers, I'm definitely ringing my bell, even t

The Christian Post thinks that a single sentence spoken by Dawkins at the Reason Rally has put the atheist movement in a "pickle". "Mock them, ridicule them in public." This is what Dawkins said in reference to religious people. This article decided that it means that Dawkins wants us all to turn into bullies. I have 3 points: 1. The Reason Rally was 9 hours long. I vaguely remember Dawkins saying something like this. It is hardly what I took away from the event. 2. Christians, this is the cool thing about being a freethinker. Yes, Dawkins is highly regarded in our community. No, we don't defer to him when determining how to live our lives and treat other people. We do not blindly do what the "higher-ups" suggest, and nor do they expect us to. I know this can be confusing, since you're used to having no say in how you live your life, but I can guarantee you that throngs of atheists are not going to swarm the streets ridiculing you. 3. A
