If you aren’t familiar with the Ron & Fez show on Sirius XM, then that is something you need to remedy quickly. I do not hesitate for one second to label Ron Bennington the greatest radio personality in the country. The guy is hilarious, brilliant, and ten times the interviewer of a James Lipton or Larry King. Anyway, listen to Ronny B’s thoughts on organized religion above, and then do yourself a favor and check out his afternoon radio show and blog.
This video made my day. Dan Savage, a relatively prominent journalist who also happens to be gay, spoke at a high school journalism event recently, and he had the audacity to call the bible bullshit. Of course, the thick-headed, brainwashed teens in the audience immediately began streaming out because hearing the truth about the pack of lies their parents jammed down their stupid throats makes them feel like the universe was not created specifically with them in mind. However, it was encouraging to hear the roar of applause and cheers from those in the crowd who agreed with Dan, and they clearly outnumbered the credulous moral grand-standers. I hope this is a sign of things to come among younger generations.
You can think whatever you want about Rosie O’Donnell, but this is pretty damn funny. Rosie told her side of the story, and the preacher then offered a sarcastic apology in which he reveals himself to be an even more seriously demented individual than he first appeared.
A fantastic tribute to the late, great Christopher Hitchens.
God’s dream team didn’t fair so well this primary season.
I was watching the final round of the Masters yesterday, and towards the end of the round the obnoxious throng of pastel adorned, pale-faced frat boys was obviously pulling for Bubba Watson to win the coveted green jacket. As a result, the natural contrarian in me started quietly hoping that Louis Oosthuzien would eek out a victory in the head-to-head sudden death playoff with Bubba. I shouldn’t fail to mention that Bubba is a Georgia Bulldog, and nothing brings a smile to my face faster than a disappointed group of UGA assholes. However, after witnessing Bubba’s emotional reaction to winning, my usually charcoal laden black heart swelled, and I felt ashamed of cheering against someone who appeared to be a genuinely tender man. I cringed slightly as Bubba began to profess his love for Jesus Christ on national television, but that didn’t entirely destroy the goodwill I had for the man. It was a special moment for the guy, and he earned the right to say whatever the hell he wanted. However, it didn’t take long for his Christian brethren to amp up the stupid.
ESPN was covering the green jacket presentation when they suffered technical difficulties and had to cut away. However, these “technical difficulties” occurred right after Bubba thanked his Lord and Saviour, and, since there is an ongoing and devastating war against Christians in America, the oppressed minority of the world’s largest and most dominant religion were quick to see through ESPN’s lies. Check out the evidence above, and if you’re a Christian please be strong in the face of your seemingly unending persecution.
Today is Easter Sunday, and I could not think of a more appropriate day to resurrect my blog from the dead. I never really wanted to take the site down, but an unexpected issue left me with no choice. After spending weeks trying to resolve the matter, am I once again able to freely trash credulous adults who maintain a relationship with an imaginary friend. What a relief! Unfortunately, a lot of the goodwill and traffic I established through the fall and early part of the new year is now gone. To my great surprise, cheapthinker got over 33,000 hits in February, but I’m now basically starting over from scratch. It’s not the end of the world; I’m blogging here for no other reason than my own edification, but I’d be lying if I said having readers and comments wasn’t fun. So, if you read and enjoy the site I encourage you to comment and pleeeeeease send it to your dumbass religious friends! Nothing makes me happier than hate mail. Battles in the comments section wouldn’t hurt either. That said, please enjoy this glorious Sunday on which it is widely accepted that a human being dug himself out of a grave three days after being brutally tortured and murdered. What a cheerful little tale we tell our kids!
Obnoxious reality TV star and perennial baby-making machine, Michelle Duggar, recently suffered a miscarriage of what would have been her 20th child. Duggar got pregnant against medical advice and after she delivered her 19th child three months premature. So, while unfortunate, the loss of the 20th child is no big surprise. What is surprising is the fact that, despite a pessimistic warning from medical professionals, a premature baby, and now a miscarriage, the Duggars still insist upon having more children:
If the Duggars truly believe that their prolific reproduction is part of God’s plan, then they would also have to believe that the premature birth and subsequent miscarriage were also part of that very same design. That said, it seems painfully obvious to everyone but the Duggars that God is telling them that 19 children is more than sufficient. Having more children coming off the heels of two problematic pregnancies seems to go against the will of their imaginary friend, but this is just another glaring example how claiming a particular course of action to be God’s will is really just an excuse to do whatever the hell you want while absolving oneself of any guilt.
In the above video, Michelle states that “the baby is in a better place.” If the world is so awful why do they feel they need to bring 20 more individuals into it? More evidence that Christianity is a death cult.
