Organized religion doesn't make people evil. It makes them stupid. It stunts their critical thinking using fear and blind faith so they are programmed a lot easier into complying to evil things while being scared into thinking it's "good" on blind faith, without any application of critical thinking.

He’s an idiot. He’s a bully. He’s cruel. He’s utterly dishonest. And he’s been nothing but a conman his whole life. And the most powerful country in the history of the world just elected him President. Again.

54 years ago, George Harrison graced the world with My Sweet Lord, a transcendent anthem of spirituality and peace. The first solo Beatle to top the charts, George reminded us that music can be a prayer.

Many of you are getting to know Lily, my goofball kitten. But for years, I lived with a wonderful cat named Carla. This is the tribute I wrote for her when she passed away last spring.

Today's podcast: People tell me all the time to get over it, you've got Trump derangement syndrome, you gotta move on, etc. Move on? How can I move on from him when this country just voted to make him President again? He'll be more dangerous in two months than he is now. I won't "move on" from that.
