I love Oxymorons. Those are two words that are put together and don't go together. Most are the opposite of each other. Some of my favorites were coined by Comedian George Carlin.

At any rate, Carlin is not the only source of oxymorons, as the Bible has several and they deal with having a successful life. Let's talk about Spiritual Oxymorons, here on Chewing the Frat.
