Why do women love Jesus? He's hung like this!

Jobs will be returning, there is a tariff appearing on the horizon, the cost of fuel. Distance costs money and once oil climbs again it may well soon be cheaper to open a plant in Ontario that ship something halfway around the world. The End of Growth is an interesting read from a Canadian...

When people say that faith is belief that does not need proof or evidence I think of the Hitchen's quote that "that which is asserted without evidence may be dismissed without evidence." As for the idea of non overlapping magisteria that would be one way to function, but religion does not do...
