"A good Christian man..."

Why is it, at least in this country, whenever someone describes another as a "Christian man," it's typically preceded by the word "good"?

"Oh, that Mr. Buster Jaw is such a good Christian man."

I don't think I've ever heard this kind of statement made about a person of a different religious persuasion.

"Oh, Mohammad Allah is such a fine Muslim man."

"Jesus Knot is such a wonderful Atheist man."

"You know what? Moses Dunno is a great agnostic man!"

"Tom Cruise is such a sweet Scientology man-person or whatever."

"I adore her! Lucy Fur is truly a good Satanic woman."


So, according to some, can a person not be good if he or she isn't a Christian? What if a person claims to be Christian but acts otherwise? What if a person misinterprets the Bible, believes they're acting Christian, when in fact they're not?

Here's a thought - how about we leave religion out of the equation completely, and when commenting about another, simply say, "He's/She's a good person"?

Boycotting jukeboxes because of TouchTunes

I love music and enjoy hitting the bar(s) over the weekend, so naturally, when the mood strikes me, I've never been coy about playing some songs on the jukebox. This past Thursday, a friend of mine turned 50, so several friends of her's, including myself, all met up to celebrate the occasion. At around 9:30, a friend of mine and I both chipped in $5 to play some songs on the jukebox. Four hours and 231 skips later, we gave up on hearing the songs we had selected, and went home knowing we had just wasted $5. This wasn't the first time such a thing had happened to me (and many others), and due to that, I'll be boycotting jukeboxes. Why? The scam known as TouchTunes. You see, here's how the plot typically breaks down. A person (or group of people) downloads the TouchTunes app on his/her phone, consumes one too many adult beverages, and due to this, has less care for spending extra money to hear the songs of their choosing right NOW. That's the thing with TouchTun...

The difference between "looking" and "checking out"

I may be way off with these numbers, but it's my approximation that at least 75% of individuals whom are involved in a serious relationship feel it's perfectly acceptable to "check out" members of the opposite sex they're not involved with. Meanwhile, approximately 25% either don't feel this is acceptable or aren't sure about the matter. I hadn't thought about this matter for a while, but since I've been dating a woman for about 8 months, the topic has been pondered about some. When reading or hearing others discuss this very issue, I often times hear comments similar to the following: "It's human nature to look." "There's nothing wrong with checking others out. I'm sure he/she does it too!" "It's fine to do it. Just don't tell your boyfriend/girlfriend about it or do it in front of them!" "It's natural to find people attractive." When observing the array of comments, I i...
