Ailing 'Dilbert' Cartoonist Talks Again

A balding, bespectacled working stiff inexplicably loses his voice — except when speaking in rhyme or pinching his nose.

You're probably thinking there is no way you could be happy becoming a Muslim, unless you already are one. But that flies in the face of all science and evidence. Apparently people can be just as happy no matter what religion they pursue.

Scott Adams makes his argument against atheism. Let's just say that Adams makes McGrath look like a brilliant, nuanced genius by comparison. All he's got is the cartoonist's version of Pascal's Wager, and his own profound misconceptions about what atheists are.

In yesterday's post I dared to say Paris Hilton entertains me, and I confessed I liked her because she works when she doesn't need to, she has a sense of humor, and I've never heard of her being mean. This caused a Category 5 irony storm in the comments.
