Ridiculous comment of the day:

(And boy, it was a doozy picking which one in the thread was the silliest - trust me, you're not missing out if I don't link to it)

How often do you ever see a 9 year old and a 6 year old in a deep conversation with their parents? A child doesn't have the attention span of that length to have a meaningful conversation with parents.

The really sad part here is that the person she was arguing with was also fantastically wrong-headed. And so is the person they were arguing with before she chimed in! It's the world's most boring, full-throttle flame war. Who the heck knew the comments sections to the newspaper comics were so full of drama llamas!? I've seen less pointless animosity in religion and politics forums. Hell, I've seen less of it in mothering forums, and until now I thought those were the be-all and end-all of internet drama.

I've come to the conclusion that there's actually two Bibles. I've read the one (or parts of the one) with the Sermon on the Mount, while conservative U.S. Christians have clearly read the one with hardcore capitalist Jesus.
