Killing each other over imaginary friends

israel is now warning jews in the united states that iran is targeting them in a series of possible attacks.

same fucking ignorant story.

my imaginary friend is bigger and better than your imaginary friend.

for those religious moderates who still say we should just allow everyone to believe whatever it is they want, and let them do whatever it is they want to do when it comes to praising invisible sky daddies because it's IMPOLITE to pass judgement on such delusional idiocy, i ask you, AGAIN, are you ready to die because of these rampant running looney tunes!?!?!?

instead of allowing this sort of bloodshed to flourish, we should be focusing on educating the masses and informing them exactly why their delusions are not only asinine, but more important: DEADLY.

we wouldn't let some crazy math teacher run around telling our kids that 2+2=5 just because some nonsensical old book his daddy's daddy's daddy wrote during the bronze age said so.

WAKE.

UP.

Now let seth mcfarlane say it...

DON'T BE FOOLED: islam (and all the other delusional religious practices out there) are not about peace

if religious folks WERE all about peace, then they would stop the centuries and centuries of hate, of discrimination, of slander, of WAR, of claiming they're right and you're wrong.

the bible is full of hate. sure there's some feel-good shit in there too, but much of it is hate. hate against women, hate against non-jews, hate against gay folks, brown folks, etc. the koran is also full of hate. THE PENALTY FOR APOSTASY IS DEATH.

and now, this. someone pokes fun at islamic delusions and the muslims respond by blowing some shit up. again.

practitioners of peace my ass.

some sorta of twistedly sick fucking joke, that's what this is.

A public service announcement from a fucking crazy train

it's people like this fella here and the slandering backwards philosophy he teaches that are setting back the world.

it's delusionoids like him who make it impossible for us to reach our furthest potential as a species.

sometimes i feel like there really isn't much hope -- that the immensity of immaturity of the majority "faithful" (whether judeo-christian, muslim, etc) is too strong a weapon for reason to overcome.

i feel that way because people like this dude exist everywhere and it is considered impolite to point out the unquestionable lunacy of his worldview, even though every single person with his wits about him can clearly see he is delusional.

*sigh*

A great interview with my favorite dick

when it comes to great minds of now, i can't imagine a list that didn't include richard dawkins. the new york times ran this great piece on him recently and i encourage you to read it. (read his books too, they're fascinatingly badass)

here are a few quotes from the article that stand out to me:

“Religion teaches you to be satisfied with nonanswers. It’s a sort of crime against childhood.”

“I’ve had perfectly wonderful conversations with Anglican bishops, and I rather suspect if you asked in a candid moment, they’d say they don’t believe in the virgin birth. But for every one of them, four others would tell a child she’ll rot in hell for doubting.”

“If you look up at the Milky Way through the eyes of Carl Sagan, you get a feeling in your chest of something greater than yourself. And it is. But it’s not supernatural.”

boo yah.

Remembering

i'm in new york city today. all weekend. i'm taking in this 10 year stuff. going to the mets game tonight and i look forward to being involved with the ceremonies and speeches.

say what you want about politics (certainly they were involved), but this shit happened because of religion and i'll never forget that day and how it changed my life.

people have been murdering people over their imaginary friends for a long fucking time. isn't it about time we catch up to reason and stop this shit?

Toe-MAY-toe, to-MAH-toe, you're all fucking crazy

this man (and his delusional followers) are just as much to blame for islamic terrorism as anyone else. in fact, i would go as far as to say that what his evangelical movement has done to the united states is equally damaging as those acts of terrorism.

they have taken REASON hostage and duped a throng of idiots into following a path of racist, sexist, homophobic lunacy DISGUISED as altruism.

sorry, but the very nature of religion -- a means to control a society with delusional promises it can't possibly back up -- cancels out any true altruist yearnings. 

how can you be altruistic while spreading a fucking cancerous lie?

Just read the fucking thing

i have a friend who has decided to read the bible, from front to back, just to make sure his lifelong hunch that it's all rubbish is actually valid.

he's barely through leviticus and he already knows it's full of shit.

DUH! 'CUZ IT IS!

at leviticus, shit, by now god has already determined how much he hates women, gay people and PORK! whether it's the bible or the koran or whatever, i mean, if you really take the time to read the mutherfucker, there is no way one could actually take any of it seriously! but xtrians don't do that. muslims don't do that. or, if they do, they just pick and choose, blinded by idiot teachings of their youth. if the book i'm reading tells me that if i leave this organization my penalty will be death and it will be just, then you better bet i'm gonna be questioning the shit outta that mutherfucker.

instead, the delusional continue to be delusional and this is actually a problem. a HUGE problem. and i'm seeing it everywhere, in places it should NEVER EVER EVER be, like the US presidential race.

here is a recent comment on the project reason website's recent post fearing the theoretical decision-making skills of one delusional rick perry:

I have no basis in experience with Perry to say this, but I’ll venture my guess anyway based on the experience I have with other people of faith.  He genuinely believes in the broad strokes of his Christian faith, but, like nearly every other practitioner, has never had to conduct any searching examination of the soundness of those beliefs.  If religious indoctrination in a protestant faith is as breezy and intellectually vapid as it is in catholic church, then there’s really no information beyond fairy tale telling passing from one generation to another.  When this gobbledygook is presented to a child, they don’t know to question any of it.  By the time a person obtains enough maturity and life experience to begin doubting what their parents tell them, they’re already an adherent to this world of ridiculous ideas.

Why should Perry be any different?  He’s simply emotionally committed to a ridiculous idea spoon fed to him as a child.

this dude is right on it. and the fact that the delusionoids he describes are multiplying rather than going away, is one of those things that keeps me up at night.

Fear mongering

this is what i had drilled into me too. you better prepare, you better know your bible verses, you better do as your told and never ask questions, you better not touch your junk and make yourself ejaculate, you better not have any thoughts about naked hot chicks that aren't your wife, you better believe muslims are dirty and wrong and evil and you better believe in all this crazy shit without asking any questions OR ELSE...

YOU WILL FUCKING BURN IN ETERNAL HELL YOU LITTLE FUCKING PRICK

"Credulity" and religion have no place together

after a bunch of lobbying, bickering and whatever else, the pastafarian in austria who demanded his driver's license pic include his "religious" headgear (a pasta strainer, duh) has finally gotten his wish.

but i fear his point is being missed.

society in general makes all kinds of exceptions for delusionoids. muslims, christians, jews... whoevs... they're all crazy and they're all allowed certain privileges based on that crazy.

there is no credulity in religion 'cuz it's all fucking make-believe!!!

GET A GRIP! THERE IS NO FUCKING BEARDED MAN IN THE SKY SO STOP EXPECTING THE WORLD TO LAY DOWN FOR YOU BECAUSE YOU ARE DERANGED.

:-)

Y'know, you are part of the fucking problem, harrisburg mayor linda thompson

instead of doing some actual fucking work to fix the problems in her city, linda thompson is calling for three days of fasting and prayer.

give.

me.

A FUCKING BREAK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

am i the only one who sees this for what it is: ABSOLUTE INSANITY!?!?

why do we continue to think it's okay to elect these fucking drones of fantasy?

i am surprised i still have all my toenails considering how much crazy people like the aforementioned make me want to rip them all out with pliers.

Can't teach an old dog new weltanschauungs

i spent a weekend with my elderly grandmother recently. she may be set in her ways and cranky but she always means well and she is a really kind person. that being said, it can't be ignored that she's racist and has no tolerance for anything "new". her circle of friends is similar. small town country folk for life, their worldviews are just a bit skewed against what is typically considered normal (or at least politically correct) these days.

she and i joined four other old ladies for an afternoon of coffee and puzzling (those fucking things are hard to put together by the way) and one of her friends started yapping about that little girl who was molested by a TSA screener. instead of talking about the issue, this old lady said: "i can't believe a good american would do something like that. i could believe it if a muslim arab did that, but not an american."

um... lady, what the fuck?!?!? americans do awful shit every day. rape, murder, molest. what the fuck? since when does nationality make any difference in a person's propensity to do bad shit?

the really scary thing is that everyone else at the table agreed with her and then they talked shit about brown people for a good hour.

THAT, my friends, is pretty much the intelligence level we're working with here in this country. scary shit.

PS, the lady also mentioned that i should look up a christian author she likes who writes christian romance novels. yeah, thanks. i'll make sure i do that after i pull my testicles up and out through my shaft.

I'm all over this thing...

democrat (for the most part), environmentalist, abortionist, fornicator, gambler, pervert (not the bad kind though, just your normal pervert), idolater (i have a thing for putting albert pujols up on a pedestal), liberal, high falutin (he spelled it wrong), sophisticated swine and sports nut.

whew.

but, i gotta agree, "emos" and "loud mouth women" are the worst.

HILARABS!

I totally know how ya feel, batman

i mean, i won't go as far as to say i 'hate' someone, especially someone i was once intimate with, because i don't. i don't hate people (maybe islamic terrorists, but that's about it). still, some breakups hurt more than others and the only thing one can do to shield himself from the pain is to say fuck it and totally disassociate with her all together. it's the only way.

It's all about geography, man

Sky God!'s resident liberty guru, kent mcmanigal, recently brought up something that my favorite dick has hammered home quite frequently, but one that never ceases to baffle the non-delusionoid sector (read: sane people), and that is:

when ya really narrow shit down, being a delusionoid is mostly about where you are fucking born, and you have no fucking control over where the fuck you are born.

born in iran? you probably love allah.

born in dubuque, iowa? you probably love jeebus.

born in tel aviv... or brooklyn? you probably love yahweh, or the beastie boys.

whatevs.

the next time someone tries to throw that holier-than-thou fairytale bullshit in yer face, remind them that the main reason they believe what they believe is based on geography, and nothing else.

seems like god would have to be a pretty devious muthafucka to doom one delusionoid to living in a medinah slum and another to getting fondled by father moynahan in a nantucket parish.

but what the fuck do i know? i don't believe in that shit.

One minute and twenty-four seconds of pure terror

nothing makes my skin crawl more than watching children parade the highfalutin and inexcusable, delusional, ass-backwards claims of their so-called elders.

children don't get a choice. they do as they see, as they're told. they're vulnerable. when it comes to force-feeding religion, i think if you really loved your children you would allow them to make their own spiritual and/or philosophical choices. pumping them up full of vitriolic bullshit then pushing them out the door is not only a disservice to them as floundering youths, but also a HUGE FUCKING HIT ON HUMANITY AS A WHOLE.

WE DON'T FUCKING NEED FAIRY TALES TO EXPLAIN SHIT ANYMORE. SO CUT THAT SHIT OUT.

Dear god

also, dear god let the infidels suffer a long, agonizing death. and kill the gays.

i think the "god" these people reference would be okay with that. after all, he is an asshole. (he let jayson werth make $23 million a fucking year!)

Get outta the way

all y'all delusionoids blocking human progression with your bibles, your korans, your talmuds, your fairy tales, your hate, your discrimination, your intolerance, your backwardness, your FUCKING IDIOCY...

get

out

of

the

way.

we're trying to make real moves here.

in fact, there's a good fucking chance stem cell research will help keep your sorry ass alive longer, so you can spit more lies into the face of fact.

win... win?

Asians make the craziest christians

they also make the craziest drivers.

and lovers.

and martial artists.

okay, now i'm just stereotyping.

but seriously, i'd put any fucking nutso chinese or korean or japanese christian up against the most hardcore evangelical rapture lovin' delusionoid...

any.

day.

while living in beijing, i was once trapped in a public park and swarmed by a group of undercover self-mutilating christ-fiends whose only harness against shouting their imaginations in full voices to the skies was the fact that "a highly militarized faction of government spies" was constantly watching their every move.

i took on a thick afghan accent and told them (with wily eyes) that i was a muslim.

naturally, they left me alone.

'cuz ain't nothin' crazier than a wily eyed muslim dude on the cusp of bedding 72 virgins.

These people are proof that responsiblity should come with a fucking i.q. test

that's a real sign. by real people. who are really fucking ignorant.

religious folks (who more often than not are also an integral part in the beyond-reason-ultra-conservative-ignorant-fucktard movement) are experts in one thing that should never be overlooked:

FEAR MONGERING.

these fuckers are experts. i mean, consider the fact that they've been spreading idiocy all over the planet for thousands of years with absolutely no proof backing up their outlandish claims of supernatural sky daddies, talking snakes and parting seas. and they're still doing it. successfully!!!

why?

FUCKING FEAR.

that's why.

don't believe us and we'll stone you to death. or fuck your children. or rape your wife. or see that you burn in hell, for eternity, with nancy grace reruns playing in the background.

for.................EVER.

IGNORANCE IS THE MIGHTIEST DETERRENT OF PROGRESSION!

pass it on.
