2:180, #484: Friday is Why Day

Since an entire week went by without a post to this insanity site, I thought I'd take some time and question reality, now that I've gotten four days of masonry work on the Grey Havens behind me.
Soooo...

Why do we call the red condiment in a bottle or squeeze container "ketchup" or "catsup?" If you want the "skinny" on the word derivation, go to [http://itotd.com/articles/385/the-story-of-ketchup/] and read up.

Why do we have 'innies' and 'outies' as navel options? Well, the first website I checked says it's a random process; although it appears 90% of us have lint collectors and only 10% have the push button that sticks out. And...can a Calvinist believe that a statistically skewed finding like this can have ANYTHING to do with random anything?!! Just exactly WHAT did the Lord have in mind when he bestowed outies on so few of His handiwork?

Why is a sport confined primarily to the USofA called the WORLD Series? Yeah, I know, this is a repeat and the baseball commissioners "back in the day" wanted really FABULOUS words to define their game...so sue me.

Why does Richard Dawkins, the famous atheist, call the OT God "a malevolent bully" and the NT Jesus "meek and mild?" Seems a rather unscientific reading of the Bible when the Prince of Peace describes His work as "bringing a sword."

Why do Evangelical Christians develop sphincter pucker in light of the clearly calamitous conditions that are going on around the world when they've been praying "Thy Kingdom come" all these years and the Bible clearly predicts things will get worse and the anti-Christ has to show up first?
