The “Rant of the Day”:

Let’s all hate on Rich!

Good Catholics vs. the highly disturbing history of the Catholic Church

Daniele screws up a reference to Abbie Hoffman. The main character in the tale was Emmett Grogan, not Abbie Hoffman. Bad Daniele!

Even when they claim to follow a religion literally, people regularly edit their sacred books to their liking.

Carpocrates and sacred orgies

Outlaw Jesus

The desire to belong and its dangers.

The “Storytelling Moment”:

Rich is less than fond of “A Renegade History of the United States”

Let us introduce you to Mr. Liver-Eating Johnson

Daniele and his disturbing “Legends of the Fall” reincarnation tale, revenge and the moment in which you don’t hear the demons screaming

The “I Have a Dream” Corner:

Damn, Daniele… you have issues…

The “Ask Bolelli” Corner:

Why do you like history? The non-PC version

The “I Have a Dream” Corner:

Daniele is black and proud in a post-dream state that joyfully shatters identity.

The “Rant of the Day”:

Integrity vs. avoidance as a communication strategy. If someone calls you or emails, don’t be a dick: return the message.

Shocked and puzzled over the fact that they didn’t nominate Daniele as the new Pope (Pope Conan the First would have been awesome). Had they nominated him, the official regalia required would have been by http://suredesigntshirts.com/ Speaking of which, check them out and use the code “warrior” for a discount.

It’s easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to get into Heaven: why capitalism and Christianity don’t mix.

Everyone creates their own religion. Some people happen to be honest about it.

The “Storytelling Moment”:

The lovely biblical tale of Lot, a righteous man who offers his virgin daughters to a mob so they can rape them in order to preserve the laws of hospitality. Our tale includes women turned into pillars of salt, God doing some smiting, and Lot’s daughters getting their father drunk and raping him to preserve the human race.

God kicks the devil’s ass in the biblical body count

The “Ask Bolelli” Corner:

Taoism and sexual alchemy? Not my thing.

My MMA experience: cage fighting, the discovery that “scare the shit out of you” is not just a figure of speech and facing one’s fears.

Interconnectedness is the name of the game

Learning how to take a beating/dealing with adversity

Daniele has no problems punching friends in the face

Shameless plug for “On the Warrior’s Path”
