Re: Best TV Sitcoms of All Time

NewsRadio was understated humor. I mean, it was good, but I don't think I ever considered it the best of what's on (when it aired).

Re: Godless III - Completing The Trinity

God most certainly does not exist in any way described by anybody (written or otherwise), ever.

Acknowledging this fact, or coming to terms with it should hold no bearing as to whether or not you go get confirmed to make mom happy. That's just a life lesson.
