Social Networking, Goodbye (again)

I am hanging up my social networking hat again.

1) Apparently all I do is post commentary regarding my reaction to the pervasiveness of Christianity into US life, politics, et al.  Other, more interesting things like my laundry status, my homeschooling "lesson plans," the praising my alcoholic beverage(s), what videos I have been watching or what games I need help on,  already have enough attention on Facebook--why detract from that with some critical thinking?
2) Is is a significant time suck for someone working on a degree, with four children and who likes to hang out with his wife.

Oh well, I gave it all a second try.  It wasn't worth it.

Movies

A Facebook "friend" didn't take kindly to my 9/11 Imagine No Religion profile pick.

Then a day later he commented that Real Steel looks like the worst movie every produced (I agree it looks pretty bad). I also commented that there are stinkers out there like Spy Kids movies and Kirk Cameron films.

He countered that Fireproof was "really good" and that I should watch it with my bride. We both have and thought it was about the same level or relationship advice as a Dr. Phil episode with lots of superstition, preaching and a plug to sell a special Fireproof marriage journal thrown in.

I suggested for a good film on good, evil and morality he watch The Ledge with his bride.

I wonder if he will be able to get past the description.

Where Was "He" That Day?

There is lots of "God Bless America" being posted on Facebook today. The obvious question in my mind is where was this god on 9/11/01?

Critical Thinking

XY #3 had an overnight campout with his 4th grade class this past week.  He has been on the verge of losing a tooth.  Additionally, he has been tossing around questions regarding the Tooth Fairy (as well as god(s) and Santa).

His tooth came out the night of the campout and an experiment developed in is head: "If I put this under my pillow out here in the woods and the Tooth Fairy doesn't come than my theory that the Tooth Fairy is in fact my parents will be correct."

The Tooth Fairy did not come.

He is just a few thoughts away from figuring all of this out; he has been the most clever and scientific about it so far.   With XY #1 and #2 we had to break the news.

Awesome God

Didn't stop whatever put you in that handicap spot.

Auto-correct

Some absolutely funny web sites have started to collect the silly things that smart phones, primarily the iPhone, change your text messages into via their auto-correct features.

I found this one particular funny:

Where did you meet John?
Online dating site.
I know but which one?
Christian Mindfuck .com
Oh my gosh
Yikes I mean Christian Mingle .com
As an atheist I found that especially hilarious LOL

Where's the Change

I have been seeing a lot of anti Obama stickers ad 2012 approaches. One in particular asks "Where's the Change?". I wonder, if nothing has changed then we are in the same state Bush left us in. This should make the Republicans happy! If they are unhappy that nothing has changed then does that mean they do not like what Bush did?

Confusing.
