Evidently someone didn't find my question appropriate. There was a fire at a local church. I was curious about which immoral act the churchgoers had committed. We all know that disasters are the result of people making god angry, but I guess that doesn't count when its a church.

Fire reported at Tabernacle Baptist Church in East Knoxville.

It may not be funny. I thought it was funny. Good for the goose and the gander, don't ya know.

I'm a biologist and have never seen that picture of the guy in the grain... but if it's a geneticist in any way related to the Green Revolution... in reality... the Green Revolution has caused starvation by disempowering and disenfranchising local populations and participating in worldwide unequal distribution of food... so... I'm not laughing.

A liberal Christian buddy of mine posted the video "Sh*t people say to ministers" on Facebook. Here is my response.

I think it takes real talent to grow things.  I can't do it. 

I bought a "hydropnically gown" basil plant in November, and the directions specifically said to keep it in a dish with 1/2 inch of water and not to plant it in the ground, or in potting soil.  I followed the directions exactly, and the thing was dead before I could gather all the leaves and use them.  Rats!  I love basil!

@Patricia: He's absolutely right.  Add in the person(s) who shopped, and did the cooking and serving...

I have some high school friends who, when we get together and revisit our favorite teen-age hangout, always embarass me by praying over the burgers and fries. (The husband "got religion" after we graduated, and became a Baptist minister.  They made a disgusting amount of money in the god-biz.) And it's never a short "blessing;" how he do go on.  I am so tempted to tell him to STFU and tip the servers.

But I'm a chicken as far as this couple is concerned...I really love them, and I don't want to rattle their narrow little cage.

Maybe the farmworker's name is pronounced, "Hay-soos."  ????
