Poor Christians. Their vicious persecution seemingly knows no bounds. Christians are a mere 73% of the United States population, and a scant majority of 90.4% in congress. No wonder the oppression of good, God-fearing Christians in America has reached epidemic proportions.
Sorry, but there’s no such thing as the supernatural, and the mind will lose to matter every single time. But, the obviousness of this fact shouldn’t prevent you from continuing to believe in meaningless jingles and guardian angels. I hope the failure of the woman’s “force-field” in the video above knocked some sense into her, but she probably just found another stoned-out, vapid guru to mindlessly follow.
Christians love to assert that the United States of America was founded on Judeo-Christian principles and, despite any evidence to support those assertions, they therefore insist the U.S. is a Christian Nation. Common sense would dictate that our country’s charter and founding documents would have mentioned this somewhere along the way, but arguing common sense with slobbering, brainwashed morons who talk to an invisible man in the sky isn’t exactly a good way to spend one’s time.
Drug dealers and bank robbers. That’s who this idiotic clusterfuck of a baptist family would prefer their daughter/sister date over an atheist. This clip from Belle’s is nothing short of fucking enraging, but it perfectly demonstrates the unbelievable stupidity, arrogance, and narcissism of religion and its followers.
Intelligent Design is the idea that certain features of the universe and of living things are best explained by an intelligent cause (God), not an undirected process such as natural selection. It’s hard to argue against the genius notion of an intelligent creator when you see a child suffering from Epidermolysis bullosa, a lethal, inherited connective tissue disease which causes large, extremely painful blisters and ulcers in the skin and mucous membranes. If the obvious existence of an intelligent creator who loves us doesn’t become completely apparent to you after watching the above video, then maybe pseudo-science is simply above your unintelligent head. Fret not my dim-witted friend: the world needs ditch-diggers too.
Last week, I wrote an brief, layman’s entry about abiogenesis in which I stated that holes in scientific theories inevitably fill-in over time, but religion will always remain just as stupid and childish as it was thousands of years ago. Well, the nerds at Georgia Tech have taken another step in demonstrating how life on earth began, and, in the process, discredited the nonsensical idea (not theory) of creationism even further.
It appears that I have egg on my face. After years of insisting that Jesus was a fictional character, he has magically resurfaced in the flesh on the great continent of Australia. Alan John Miller fronts a cult called Divine Truth, and not only does he claim to be the second coming of Jesus Christ, but he says his girlfriend, Mary Luck, is Mary Magdalene reincarnated. Miller claims to have very clear memories of performing miracles, and he vividly recalls his own crucifixion. After his death, Miller states that entered the spirit world where he encountered Plato, Socrates, popes and presidents. A story like that’s gotta be true.
Dozens of Miller’s followers have purchased property in the area to be closer to him, and his seminars attract large crowds of 150 or more. These cult members are clearly of sound mind, and in no way are they incredibly gullible fools who are so painfully desperate for an identity and acceptance that they will believe practically anything. That Miller has attracted so many followers only demonstrates that he is in fact the real Messiah; such a fraud could never be taken seriously by so many people.
In March, batshit Islamic militants stoned a man named Mohamed Abukar Ibrahim to death after he was accused of adultery. As he begged for his life, Ibrahim was buried in a hole up to his chest, and then pelted with huge rocks by members of the fun-loving rebel group called Hizbul Islam. Hundreds of Somali locals were forced to watch this depraved act of unimaginable cruelty. Another man, Ahmed Mohamoud Awale, who stood accused of murder, was shot to death, which, in comparison to Ibrahim’s vicious punishment, seems like a holiday pleasure-cruise. The above video is pretty disturbing, and I have no idea what the commentator is saying. However, the footage speaks for itself. YAY religion!
This one is going to be kind of mean, but I’ve had a few Memorial Day chardonnays and I really don’t give a fuck. You and I might be casual friends. You might see me from time to time when I’m knocking back a few cocktails, and you may even have me confused with a nice person. I might smile, crack a joke or two, and seem genuinely interested in what you have to say. But, if you’re a person who is serious about your religion, let me assure you that my superficial, alcohol-induced pleasantries are nothing more than a razor-thin facade. I think you’re fucking nuts.
I think you’re an unoriginal, weak-minded conformist. I think you’re a credulous sucker who will believe just about anything anyone tells you. I think you’re a corporate yes-man who desperately seeks acceptance by jumping onto already overloaded bandwagons. I think you have a compartmentalized, prefabricated view of life that’s been presented to you in easily digested, small bites by disingenuous charlatans and unthinking idiots. I think you rely on bullshit societal constructs to reassure yourself and other feeble airheads that you’re a good person. I think you have zero intellectual curiosity about the unfathomably large universe that surrounds you. I think you’re entirely uninterested in challenging yourself with ideas and concepts that weren’t hatched within 30 mile radius of where you were born. I think you’re an impossible, self-important narcissist. I think you’re terribly shallow and vain. I think you’re willfully ignorant and proud of it. I think you’re deeply dishonest with yourself. I think you’re a coward whose fear of your certain, inevitable demise renders you incapable of truly experiencing the one and only existence you will ever have. I think you listen to top-40 radio and drink Bud-Light. I think you’re pretty fucking scary.
Your faith is the scourge of humanity. It’s a plague worse than the black death. It’s an aggressive, stage-four cancer that has metastasized and has devoured your cerebral cortex rendering you a mindless zombie. It’s too late for treatment. The best thing now is a humane plan for end-of-life care. If you can watch the above video featuring profoundly disturbed, mentally-ill Muslims and take issue with any of my statements above, please let me know. Alright, maybe Muslims don’t drink Bud-Light.
P.S. Chick in the red dress: Call me. I love you.
UPDATE: Tuesday, 7:36 AM: Can we forget about the things I said when I was drunk? I didn’t mean to call you that.
Last week, the newly-elected pedophile protector, Pope Francis, upset many Catholics across the globe when he pronounced that, “[t]he Lord has redeemed all of us, all of us, with the Blood of Christ: all of us, not just Catholics. Everyone. ‘Father, the atheists?’ Even the atheists. Everyone!” Of course, this almost rational statement immediately led many of faith to wonder what the Pope was smoking, and some who’ve wasted their lives believing total bullshit in the hopes of receiving a divine reward, even labeled him the anti-Christ, devil-Pope. However, I can see how this would be upsetting to people of faith. In John 14:6, Jesus states, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.”
See, God doesn’t care about how you live your life, or the good deeds you do out of genuine altruism; all that matters is that you accept Jesus as your lord and savior before you kick the bucket. Were you a member of Doctors Without Borders who selflessly spent your time on earth saving the lives of others with little regard for your own safety? Tough shit. If you didn’t truly believe in your heart that a man was brutally murdered, rose from the dead, and ascended to heaven, then you’re going to roast in the hellfire for eternity. Were you a mass murderer who hacked your gay lovers to pieces, drilled holes in their heads, and stored their torsos in your freezer? No worries. As long as you’ve subsequently accepted the lord Jesus Christ then you’ve got a one way ticket to heaven, buddy. Makes perfect sense.
