Of course, some people really dislike shock jocks like Howard Stern and will always see them as a turn off. I like to think people like that add a little flavor. I like putting Tobasco sauce or other stuff in my…[Read more]

Something interesting he said was nothing was written down about Jesus teachngs until like 150 years after his death.

If this is true I think anything written about Jesus is highly suspect as being accurate.
