1minion pretends to debate an atheist ad complainer

Posted on December 18, 2010 by 1minionsopinion

Pretending obviously because the column itself was written long before I woke up this morning. It’s by someone named Michael Coren, who also has a blog, but not one I’ve ever read before. So, onto the Toronto Sun article and … Continue reading →
