Great article by Jamie Whyte.

And I completely agree with him.

If you pay attention, you’ll notice that a lot (probably most) of theists are hypocrites.

Supermarket theists. They only reference the parts of the bible that they like, generally ignoring the parts they don’t like. Or simply creating an alternate interpretation of their magic book that would allow them to live the way they want.

Take it for example the use of contraception. You’ll find believers that will give you “divine quotes” that using contraceptives is wrong and you’ll find believers that will give you different “divine quotes” stating otherwise.

They’re all from the same religion, reading the same magic book, but with different beliefs. They simply interpret things the way that is more suitable for them.

This news came out on Palin trying to ban books in her hometown.

While I don’t have anything against McCain, I just cannot stand the idea of Palin leading this country.

The constitution guarantees us a religion free state, and she will not be able to provide or even enforce it.

A quick annecdote (true story).

I have two co workers with small kids: a nice christian and an angry atheist. Since it’s Easter this Sunday, I bought 2 big chocolate eggs for their kids.

Not that I believe in that Easter crap - Pastafarians don’t celebrate false gods.

My co workers were supposed to take the eggs home and give them to their kids. The kids would then unwrap it on Sunday.

But one of my co workers couldn’t resist and decided to jack his kids’ chocolate egg. He snuck out of the office and ate the egg.

Guess which of the co worker was it: - the nice christian.

Don’t know about you, but there’s 2 things I wouldn’t trust anyone with: women and money.
The rest I would trust giving to an atheist, but never to a christian.

C’mon people!

What the fuck are these people thinking? She was having coffee at Starbucks with a colleague.
I do agree that women aren’t as smart as men, but we don’t have to arrest them for the stupidest thing.

Maybe if they were ugly I would agree with that, but she had her head covered, so why arrest her at all? We couldn’t even tell whether she’s ugly or not with her face all covered.

Now, I know what you people are gonna say. “The muslims are too radical… Christians are not like that.”

Bullshit.

Just look at my favorite Christian: Pastor Phelps, the owner of godhatesfags.com. He’s as fucking nuts as any radical muslim. Plus, NOT ALL muslims are radicals. I’ve met some muslims and they were educated and polite. Crazy fucks for believing in their magic books and flying dudes, but they weren’t radical or fanatics (at least from what I could tell).

Religion is dangerous. Yes, it does bring some joy and meaning to some, but religion tends to brainwash people. And people (in general) are dumb fucks. I’d say less than 1% of the world population has a fucking brain. The rest are just empty vessels waiting to be filled by any supersticious crap they are fed.

Someone emailed me this.

Dear President Bush,

Thank you for doing so much to educate people regarding God’s Law. I have learned a great deal from you and understand why you would propose and support a constitutional amendment banning same sex marriage. As you said “in the eyes of God marriage is based between a man a woman.” I try to share that knowledge with as many people as I can. When someone tries to defend the homosexual lifestyle, for example, I simply remind them that Leviticus 18:22 clearly states it to be an abomination. End of debate. I do need some advice from you, however, regarding some other elements of God’s Laws and how to follow them.

1. Leviticus 25:44 states that I may possess slaves, both male and female, provided they are purchased from neighboring nations. A friend of mine claims that this applies to Mexicans, but not Canadians. Can you clarify? Why can’t I own Canadians?

2. I would like to sell my daughter into slavery, as sanctioned in Exodus 21:7. In this day and age, what do you think would be a fair price for her? (I’m pretty sure she’s a virgin).

3. When I burn a bull on the altar as a sacrifice, I know it creates a pleasing odor for the Lord - Lev.1:9. The problem is, my neighbors. They claim the odor is not pleasing to them. Should I smite them?

4. I have a neighbor who insists on working on the Sabbath. Exodus 35:2. clearly states he should be put to death. Am I morally obligated to kill him myself, or should I ask the police to do it?

5. A friend of mine feels that even though eating shellfish is an abomination - Lev. 11:10, it is a lesser abomination than homosexuality. I don’t agree. Can you settle this? Aren’t there ‘degrees’ of abomination?

6. Lev.21:20 states that I may not approach the altar of God if I have a defect in my sight. I have to admit that I wear reading glasses. Does my vision have to be 20/20, or is there some wiggle-room here?

7. Most of my male friends get their hair trimmed, including the hair around their temples, even though this is expressly forbidden by Lev. 19:27. How should they die?

8. I know from Lev. 11:6-8 that touching the skin of a dead pig makes me unclean, but may I still play football if I wear gloves?

9. My uncle has a farm. He violates Lev.19:19 by planting two different crops in the same field, as does his wife by wearing garments made of two different kinds of thread (cotton/polyester blend). He also tends to curse and blaspheme a lot. Is it really necessary that we go to all the trouble of getting the whole town together to stone them? Lev.24:10-16. Couldn’t we just burn them to death at a private family affair, like we do with people who sleep with their in-laws? (Lev. 20:14)

I know you have studied these things extensively and thus enjoy considerable expertise in such matters, so I am confident you can help. Thank you again for reminding us that God’s word is eternal and unchanging. It must be really great to be on such close terms with God and his son, … even better than you and your own Dad, eh?

J. Kent Ashcroft (and others).

Brilliant post on where the candidates stand on Evolution and why it’s so fucking important.

It’s imperative that the man that leads this country relies on facts and reason rather than what he’s been taught since his childhood.

Surprisingly (????), most Republicans are knuckleheads and don’t believe in Evolution, while most Dems do.

My favorite candidate, Mike Gravel also has my favorite quote (while not completely accurate):

My God, evolution is a fact, and if these people are disturbed by being the descendants of monkeys and fishes, they’ve got a mental problem. We can’t afford the psychiatric bill for them. That ends the story as far as I’m concerned.

Evolution doesn’t state that we came from monkeys or fishes. It states that we might have an ancestor in common with them.

And another Republican candidate shooting his mouth off…

Let’s take severe actions based on gut feelings instead of facts. Let’s start a war because we can feel they’re wrong and they’re evil.

Don’t worry about facts. We’ll find the facts later.

Sounds familiar, anyone?

War on Iraq?
The Crusades?

A bit of politics now.

I’ve never been a big fan of Huckabee, but my opinions about him keeps getting stronger by the day.
Every article I read about him, makes him more of a fucking moron than I had previously imagined.

Take this article on GQ.

Is the strategy shifting because social conservatives are losing on those core issues? Ten years ago, it would have been unimaginable to have gay marriage even in liberal Massachusetts. Now it’s there.
I don’t think the issue’s about being against gay marriage. It’s about being for traditional marriage and articulating the reason that’s important. You have to have a basic family structure. There’s never been a civilization that has rewritten what marriage and family means and survived. So there is a sense in which, you know, it’s one thing to say if people want to live a different way, that’s their business. But when you want to redefine what family means or what marriage means, then that’s an issue that should require some serious and significant debate in the public square. And if you look at states that have had it on the ballot—I know in our state it was a 70-percent-against issue. Most states are similar to that.

So he’s saying that if we allow gay marriages, our civilization will be doomed.

I say we create a new TV show.
Put Huckabee and that hen from the View in let them debate about things. Then viewers can call in or use the ineternet to vote who was the dumbest.

Religion does help the downtrodden, gives support and a shoulder to those in need. I do see why some people need it, but in the majority of cases, Religion is a dangerous mind disease.

It’s such a huge topic and I won’t get into it in details for now. If you’re interested, read Richard Dawkin’s book, “The God Delusion”. It has a chapter explaining the dangers of religion.

I’m going to simply post a video here.
It’s an example of how religion brainwash people.

This chicktank had the courage to say that she wasn’t sure Earth wasn’t flat and that she thought Earth was merely 6,000 years old.
Now she’s saying Christians came before Greeks and Romans.

Motherfucking Flying Spaghetti Monster. Please give me strength! Someone please put a fucking sock in her mouth! If a sock isn’t available, put your dick in there! Anything! But shut her up!
