Transcript:
Woman: What are you working on, dear? Man: My manifesto...now that I'm retired, I'm going to devote myself to public service. Woman: Oh? Doing what? Man: Well...in a nutshell, problem-solving...In both politics and religion, people today have lost faith in faith itself. Woman: Um...ok. So? Man: So people want answers and a new direction......And I figured, why don't I start a new political party and religion rolled into one? Brilliant, right? Woman: *Sigh* Why can't you just spend all your time on the golf course like all of the other retired guys? Man: *Heh-heh* Brilliant!

Religion and politics rolled into one. Isn’t that what the Republicans try to pass themselves off as now?

On the other hand, it’s a good reason to go golfing.

Was that really cleverness on his part? It seems that she was eager to get him out of the house anyways.

Golf is a combination of politics and religion.You pray your lie will be perfect, and then lie about it later when it wasn’t.

The Car Talk guys had similar advice to newlywed husbands: the first time you need to fix plumbing, or anything really, make sure you botch it so badly that the next time you (or your wife) can just immediately call a professional. You never have to miss a single minute of the football game.

On a lighter note. I knew a man and his son who left that church and started a new extremely fundamentalist church.It’s big enough now that it holds national conventions. The founder and his son were later kicked out of the church that they founded. The abuse they suffered contributed to both their deaths.

Retired guy and his missus work out a mutually pleasing arrangement – whether he won or she won matters little.Meanwhile the commentators go off the rails due to two words – politics and religion. Talk about mountains from mole hills.Must be an election year.

When my late husband and I were both retired we had hobbies that were dissimilar. During the day he did his thing and I did mine. We came together at dinner time and spent the evenings together and lived happily ever after.

Faith is BY FAR the world’s WORST decision-making technique. Nobody ever uses faith to decide anything that really matters, and certainly not for anything that can be measured or even observed.

ApikorosAtheism is a faith statement. Its position cannot be verified nor falsified. It claims authority over all of existence, that they are infallible and everyone else is wrong. If that doesn’t define religion, what does? And name-calling is merely proof of the weakness of your argument.
