Jesus Magnets
A friend of mine recently returned from a trip to the “Rusty Midwest Bible Belt” and gave me two refrigerator magnets he bought in a Church store.
Was Jesus Born of a Roman Raping?
I was startled to read today that Jesus — yes, THAT Jesus — may have been the child born from a Roman raping of his mother, Mary.
What Good is Plagium?
Plagium is a new web service that tracks “Plagiarisms” using the Yahoo! Search API. I tried Plagium this morning and I was disappointed in its lack of helpful returns and I was disappointed because I always love catching content thieves.
Jesus Found Dead in His Grave
Big news was broken yesterday: Jesus and his family have been founded dead in their graves in Israel.
What does this discovery mean for the religious myths that bind us and for the sustenance of the Resurrection ideal to Christians across the world?

Commenter Regret: Why We Cannot Care
Urban Semiotic has been around in some form for over three years. We’ve been hosted here on WordPress.com since the end of October 2006 and we’re loving it.

That regret rears its selfish head when people ask — hours, days, weeks, years later — to have Comments they wrote here removed from public view.
