		<title>Today I learned: Thomas Jefferson was atheist</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Today I learned that Thomas Jefferson was a reputed atheist&#8211; not a deist. I&#8217;m not sure it&#8217;s true, but it&#8217;s a fact that Alexander Hamilton attempted to fix the 1800 election because of it. From the Gazette of the United States, October 1800: THE GRAND QUESTION STATED At the present solemn and momentous epoch, the [...]]]></description>

		<title>City Buys Land for $1.2MM, Sells to Catholic Church for $1</title>
		<description><![CDATA[City buys land for $1.2MM, sells it to Catholic Church for $1, judge strikes it down. Thank god (hehe) for the First Amendment. Unlike the church, I can&#8217;t afford to be paying for stimulus packages AND church real estate. How many of these shady deals are going unnoticed by taxpayers? Here&#8217;s the story.]]></description>

		<title>Founding Fathers: United States Not Christian</title>
		<description><![CDATA[From the 1797 Treaty of Tripoli: &#8220;&#8230;the government of the United States of America is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian Religion.&#8221; Whoa! I guess Fox News got it wrong. A rare miss&#8230;]]></description>

		<title>Misquoting Jesus: Repetitive, but thorough</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I just listened to &#8220;Misquoting Jesus&#8221; (from Audible). This book is ostensibly for the layman of Bible history, but it has a big, fat, midsection that should have been better distilled. However, it will give you loads of very good arguments against those annoying evangelical friends who believe that Jesus dictated it word-for-word, stamped &#8220;King [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[According to Zillow, prices are now beginning to rise on my price index property. Today&#8217;s price is $194,000&#8211; the same as it was in February, but according to Zillow, it is up $500 in the last 30 days. Well, I am surprised by that, and frankly still skeptical. We&#8217;ll see what happens.]]></description>
