Language Liberalism Freethought Birds

Verbing Weirds Language only if you're expecting it to work in a simple way. This is a special case of the more general truth that Language Weirds.

Only when a republic's life is in danger should a man uphold his government when it is in the wrong. There is no other time.

The church says Earth is flat; but I have seen its shadow on the moon, and I have more confidence in a shadow than the church.

If we can't find Heaven, there are always bluejays.

Relationship with whom, again?

The ad says: To begin a relationship with Jesus Christ, call 1-877-772-XXXX

Ummm. I do believe that if you call that number, you'll end up in a relationship with "the Billy Graham Team".

And especially nowadays, that's not exactly the same thing.
