They
misspelled "lard".
This
comic stems from a comment on Reddit which stated
that over 4.3 billion people had read the Bible.
Much slapping of forehead ensued.
I think this person's math was that if you subtract
all the Chinese and Indians from the total population
of Earth then that means the remaining 4.3 billion
are Xtians, and every Xtian has, of course, read
all the Jesus-y parts of the Bible, which takes
about twenty minutes, plus any other pull-quote
that supports whatever bullshit notion they might
have to make the lives of normal humans miserable.

I'm
going to play the "If I Had One Wish" game.
And
here we go:
"If I had one wish I'd wish that mankind
would stop believing in god and/or gods."
I really don't think we could do much better
than that.

Today's Raging Pencils "Big Balls Award" goes to James Shaw
Jr., who tackled the Waffle House shooter bare-handed. You
da man!
Today's "Small Balls Award" goes to Rand Paul, for tucking
his tail and puking up a yes-vote for Mike Pompeo.

If
the world switched to renewable energy we could stop having
oil wars. Then we could use all that money previously spent
for
useless weapons on things like education and infrastructure,
and then the world would be less polluted, and the people
would be
peaceful
and happy and we wouldn't need any fucking guns!

My very first apartment was on the sixth floor of a 12-story
building perched on a high hill overlooking downtown Fort
Worth. This was many decades ago but the apartment was so
seminal to my growth as an adult that I often dreamed of
it, mostly in terms of suddenly recalling that I left some
valuable items there or that I'd forgotten to pay the rent.
I mention this because I recently learned that the building
had been imploded in late March to make way for some new
and, no doubt,
more
commercially valuable
enterprise. It's of no real consequence, just odd to think
that something you held very dear was totally destroyed,
like
the Constitution
or
common human decency.
