Now here's a bon mot: "Minoring in religious studies and thinking you know about religion is like watching porn, reading gynecology textbooks, and thinking you know something about pussy." Mary Karr, quoted in this piece.

Over a hundred images by photographer and designer Neil Pardington. The ones that grabbed my attention are images of hospital operating rooms, which were featured on But Does It Float (http://butdoesitfloat.com/96582). Someone posted a link to this on Twitter but I forget who.

From the article: "Our data shows substantial support for a cognitive theory known as 'motivated reasoning,' which suggests that rather than search rationally for information that either confirms or disconfirms a particular belief, people actually seek out information that confirms what they already believe. In fact, for the most part people completely ignore contrary information... The study demonstrates voters' ability to develop elaborate rationalizations based on faulty information."

News of a peculiar lawsuit in Samoa -- a hotel sued a church because the loud Sunday morning singing was driving hotel guests away. Surprisingly, the hotel won. The church must suspend its open-air services until it can get the noise level below 50 dB. One online comment: "It's not fair to tell the churchgoers they must reduce their spiritual energy. It just doesn't work like that... If you ask someone to reduce the way they praise God, God will reduce your life span or punish you in some way. How dare you take anything away from God, without whom there would be nothing! Especially hotels!"
