Atheist Scuples: hockey edition (or: 1minion fails as a Canadian)

Posted on August 7, 2014 by 1minionsopinion

Oh my Flying Spaghetti Monster. What kind of question is this?!? You are a professional hockey coach. Your team loses the cup because a rookie accidentally scores in your net. Do you send the rookie back to the minors? It’d … Continue reading →

‘fans who blessed themselves in an “aggressive” manner could also face jail’

Posted on June 22, 2011 by 1minionsopinion

I’m trying to figure out what that would look like. The post title is a direct quote from this piece in the Daily Record about Scotland’s proposed anti-bigotry law getting fast-tracked. The government are rushing their new anti-bigotry law through … Continue reading →

President claims opponents are of the Devil and means it

Posted on February 6, 2011 by 1minionsopinion

Posted on February 2, 2011 by 1minionsopinion
