Bible archaic, full of contradictions

(11/18/08 12:00am)

As an atheist and a divisive jerk (which are not mutually inclusive), there's not much that I enjoy more than watching a fundamentalist Christian argue a modernized Christian.

College students pride themselves on being the most optimistic, innovative and take-action demographic in this country.
