I can kind of see what that Golden Compass guy is getting at when he says religion is child abuse.
It's good to have cargo. Makes us a target for every other scavenger out there, though, but sometimes that's fun too.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
Reminds me of those Christian conferences for kids where they subject them to fake military assault, with soldiers firing blanks, in order to get the kids to see what might happen to them in the future when the government goes after Christians.
Considering how evangelical the military brass tends to be, I don't think it's the Christians that need to worry about government stormtroopers kicking down their doors.
"We wanted to illustrate how terrible it would be if their kids went to heaven, but the parents just hadn’t made that commitment to Christ," says the VBS director.
Oh, I hope there were angry parents present when he spouted that one off. Preferably with aluminum baseball bats near at hand.

I think it was Richard Dawkins who said religion is child abuse, on further research I'm fnding that Pullman is just anti-dogmatism.

I know it's probably not your gig, Plei, but she could totally be a kid model. That face. Jesus. The camera loves her. As well it should.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Two and a half! Going on two and seven months.
She loves the camera, too. We've been being told we should get her into modeling since she was wee, but I'd rather just let her be a kid, you know?
