Time for a Holy Impeachment

Filed under Religion on September 2nd, 2008

You thought I was finished with you, God? No, I told you I liked to ask questions. There are so many more things I would like to know, so many issues I would love to have resolved. This time I will make the questions a little bit more about real life, if that is fine [...]

Questions for God

Filed under Religion on August 31st, 2008
