Bill Burr On Letting Go Of Religion
Bill Burr is a name I’ve heard, but don’t know well. But based on this clip from one of his TV specials, I may have to get more familiar. He makes a good point. It’s a lucky thing for religions that they get to tell their stories to kids, because who the hell’s going to …
Dealing With Religious Protesters
This is helpful. And sensible. And funny. And a lot of other things religious fanatics aren’t. The focus is on concerts, but you could apply it to just about any extremist protest situation, I imagine. How to deal with religious fanatics protesting concerts

I think I can speak for Carin when I say that much of the time it seems like a lot of what organized religion offers is poorly disguised racism, discrimination, intolerance …
Jesus Take The Meal
One of the more creative dine and dashes I’ve seen comes out of Lawton, Oklahoma. Well, I guess it’s not as much a dine and dash as it is a dine and sit there hoping for the best, but you know. Police say Kristi Rhines ordered several alcoholic drinks and food at El Chico in …

Lord…Oh Lord…
Here’s a bit more Richard Jeni. Whoever uploaded this one misspelled the word religion in the title, but I won’t slag him too much since he clearly has good taste in comedy. This one is all about his experiences going to church as a kid and how they could have been made much better if …
