Contrary to some oldbies, I am actually mildly interested in this blog feature. I will semi-regularly have thoughts on an issue that I want to type up and open to discussion, but for one reason or another would not be suitable for an EoFF thread. I have off-and-on considered making my own blog for the variety of issues which interest me (religion/atheism/law/criminal justice/science/etc.), but I have been too lazy. But now I have a spot here I can post whatever the hell I want, so I might take advantage of this.

For now, I will leave you with Tim Minchin, one of the most entertaining and hilarious musicians out there. I was reminded of him recently after the Pope claimed that Nazism was caused by "atheist extremism -- presumably as a way to distract from the child abuse atrocities that Catholic Church has committed. This brought to mind Tim Minchin's "Pope Song" (NSFW language), which is brilliant.

Other good Tim Minchin songs:
Taboo
Inflatable You
If You Open Your Mind Too Much Your Brain Will Fall Out
... and pretty much everything else he's ever done. Listen to it all.

Speaking of religious comedy, SMBC is a hilarious comic. Here's another good one.
