<Roy Rogers stuffs his horse> I was shocked that he did that to his dog and horse - it seemed so callous - why not turn them into a rug or a coffee table? At the time I wondered if his wife would be far behind and maybe we'd have a Vincent Price moment down at the wax museum.

<soccer games> Proof that we have different world views. Kill someone over a soccer game?

I was listening to a late night radio show (a guilty pleasure that I listen to at 1.4 times normal speed!! LOL).
The host was discussing the universe with a guest.

The host concluded with what may have been arguably the most intellectually lazy deference to the existence of the Almighty I've ever heard by someone who seems above average in intelligence.

I paraphrase the gist...

"When I was a kid I thought about the Big Bang and all of this, and it made my head spin. I just couldn't get my mind around it. Wasn't it easier just to believe in God?"

Whoa! So,.. because something is big and hard to understand, just roll over and don't bother. Believe in something supernatural instead, because it is easier...
