Doing the Vatican Rag!

I decided to (originally) name my blog after a little known but very funny song by Tom Lehrer.  You haven't heard of Tom Lehrer mostly because he was hitting it big back in the 1950s and 1960s.

Lehrer is actually a brilliant mathematician who graduated from Harvard at a very young age with a master's degree.  Between working at the Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory, teaching at MIT, inventing the Jell-O-shot, and decrypting communist's transmissions for the National Security Agency, he took the time to write parody songs.

And he also happens to be a funny guy:

On my income tax 1040 it says "Check this box if you are blind." I wanted to put a check mark about three inches away.

Anyway, I had a handful of other names for my blog that I was kicking around, but you would be shocked at how few web addresses are actually available these days.

Update:  I changed my blog to SausageOfFath.com a few months later in homage to a line from Sam Harris.

This blog will be a general resource for anyone interested in atheism, theology and philosophy.  It is planned to be a collection of articles, videos and discussions points regarding the ongoing debate between theists and atheists.  A collection of pieces that have appealed directly to me and information that I hope will provide some insight to others seeking wisdom.  Due to my Christian background, it will feature my bible trivia regularly. 

I will do my best to give both sides of the argument their due consideration and all people of all faiths or non-faith are welcome.  It is only a matter of time until my blog is vandalized with spam, but until  then I will leave comments open.  I will let everyone have their say as long as they don't abuse their privileges.  I give it less than a year.

Thanks for reading.
