The meme here covers yet another horrible feature of life in today’s America, i.e., all of a sudden we hate our jobs.

I’ll admit that I was lucky enough to find work that was lucrative and rewarding (most of the time), but I don’t recall my employees hating coming into the office every morning. I had clients that were mainly mid-level corporate executives in Fortune 100 firms, and they didn’t strike me as unhappy either.

I’m wondering if this isn’t the product of social media, where most of what gets shared is misery.

Minnesota is home to intelligent, well-educated people whose approval of Trump is lower than that of toenail fungus.

If Lindell wants to lead a state, he needs to choose one at least 800 miles away. Oklahoma?

He may also want to consider that Trump is easily the most detested person in this nation.

The Existence of God

I wouldn’t say that the burden of proof lies on religion. No one knows how the universe got here.

The Big Bang was an event in which there was no chaos, no “entropy,” as we say in thermodynamics. How did all this orderliness get there 13.87 billion years ago? No one knows. This is an issue in cosmology which is quite likely to outlast human civilization on this planet.

I’m an atheist for a few reasons, one of which is that saying that God created the universe doesn’t get us any closer to an understanding of the cosmos, if only because it raises the question: Who made God?

More to the point, there are hundreds of moral reasons to disbelieve in God. Each year, 9 million children will die unbaptized on this planet before their fifth birthdays. In the bible, we learn that God punishes them all with an eternity of torture in hell. To what sort of weirdo does this make sense?
