Christians are a widely varied group and it’s impossible to say they have any common characteristics beyond a belief in Christ as savior. Some Christians are tolerant. Some are bigots. Some are caring. Some are not. Almost any human characteristic can be found in such a huge group of people

Economic status is a much better predictor of criminal activity than race, and in one of the few examples where race does seem to be a factor – serial killers – the criminals are overwhelmingly white. I think there’s a perception that blacks are more likely to commit crime, but to the extent this is accurate at all, I think it’s because blacks are more likely to be poor, which is probably what drives the criminal activity.

I had no acceptable answer. Our little toes serve no purpose. What’s facial hair all about? These things are all evolutionary leftovers, and so are male nipples, I suppose.

But when one person kills another because of that person’s religion, race or sexual orientation and for no other reason, that’s a hate crime. Hate crimes, unlike most murders, also are usually inflicted on people the killers don’t know. Most murders arise out of a dispute. A hate crime happens when someone decides to kill the first black person or gay person he or she can find.

Human sacrifice was once part of the Judaic tradition. Female genital mutilation is looked upon as a horror by most people of the world. Christians once burned heretics alive. There’s a reason modern cultures have moved away from atrocities like these – it’s demeaning, senseless and just not civilized. So is killing an animal for no reason other than “tradition.” Some traditions deserve to die.

At my house, for example, they presume I make all the decisions. And, even more amazingly, they presume I want to talk to them at all instead of eat dinner with my family.

You’ll have time to yourself. I think it would be unusual for roomates to discuss it, and even rarer to do it together – but anything’s possible.

My kids, 4 and 2, are about as polite and well-behaved as any boys of that rambunctious age are. They say please and thank you when they’re reminded. They don’t hit, or say anything worse than “poo-poo head,” which I’m trying to discourage. Is that my failure? My boys are a danger to society because they say “poo-poo head” Am I missing something here?

I guess if you’re a vegetarian for health reasons, maybe fake meat would have some appeal to you. But if you’re vegetarian for ethical reasons, eating that stuff is just bizarre. It doesn’t offend me, but it sure doesn’t appeal to me, either.

How could you live with someone you’d resent for the rest of your life?

Traditional sex roles don’t penalize women for showing what they feel. Those roles, however, often label men as weak or girlish if they cry or let their feelings be known.

But be careful with generalizations. The man who killed six people and wounded 25 on a Long Island Rail Road train five years ago was a black male who picked that train specifically to get white victims. Rage is multicultural.
