The civilized world is still reeling from the sad and shocking contents of the report published this week by the Commission to Inquire into Child Abuse, that was established in 2000 to investigate allegations of abuse at Catholic-run children’s institutions in Ireland.

Meanwhile…

Hidden inside a catholic confessional...

Can you imagine an atheist with a ‘Honk if you love Jesus’ bumper sticker on their car?

No? It makes perfect sense. Really, it does! Take a look at this little gem I found on verbalcartoonist.com.

My friend Steve is an atheist

Now you know why I think I just might get one of those bumper stickers for my car.

Hmm… Maybe!

I have always wondered how can anyone read the Bible and not get a headache from all the errors and contradictions, let alone still believe in Christianity (or Judaism for that matter).

And it’s not just about different books in the Bible contradicting each other. Take a look at the story of Jesus and the Short-Term Memory Loss, for example. You’ll find it in the Gospel according to John, but I’ve put together a quick comic to save you the trouble.

(Read about how I found out about this story below)

Jesus and the Short-Term Memory Loss comic

Stocked up with a little packet of pain-killer tablets, I’ve just started reading biblical scholar Bart D. Ehrman’s latest book called Jesus, Interrupted: Revealing the Hidden Contradictions in the Bible (And Why We Don’t Know About Them).

As you may know, Bart D. Ehrman was a passionate and committed Evangelical Christian who began to lose his faith while studying the original Greek and Hebrew Bible texts at Princeton Teological Seminary.

Anyway, I’m still only on the first chapter, and thoroughly enjoying it. No sign of any headaches yet! I guess that Prof. Ehrman’s easy writing style and the sheer funniness of it all has mitigated the expected negative effects.

You know the ‘don’t press this button’ websites that keep on daring you to press one big red button after another, teasing and insulting you all the while?

That is NOT what this is about. The red button below is abolutely no joke.

Once you press it, there’s no turning back! You have been warned.

Actually, if you’re an atheist, you have nothing to fear from the big red button. Just go ahead and click away.

I guarantee it’s totally harmless. You won’t get rickrolled. You won’t be made to see anything you don’t want to see. Your computer won’t download any malware or catch some nasty virus. Nothing of that at all.

But if you believe in any sort of god or religion, BEWARE! I am warning you:
DON’T UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE EVEN THINK OF PRESSING THAT BUTTON!

I admit it’s awfully tempting, but, as a believer, you should know better than to give in to temptation, right? Just read another post, do something else and try to forget about that big red button. You absolutely don’t want to click it! Seriously. Just trust me on this.

Looks like this guy is sacrificing his weekends to get this WARNING out, so the least you can do is listen up! God’s judgment is coming! Now you know.

(More comments below the image.)

WARNING: God's judgment is coming!

As you can see, the warning is quite clear. Pay attention you:

• sex addicts (Both practising and non-practising ones. God hates you all.)
• baby killers (And sperm wasters too, says God.)
• sports nuts (Whether you live healthy lives working out all the time or just chuck beers in front of NBA, NFL or Super Bowl.)
• racists (Not bigots, mind you. God seems to love those!)
• atheists (Yikes!)
• rebellious women (Rebellious men are exempted.)
• lewd women (Phew! I thought he was going to say lewd men for a minute.)
• f se religions (Looks like God asked him to write ‘false religions’ but some doubting Christian took offence and tried to deface it.)
• money lovers (Ooops! Told you God was a commie.)
• liar (Which one? The one with the sign. DUH!)
• drunkards (So your wife left you, you lost all your money gambling, and you had to drown your sorrows? Not God’s problem.)
• two faced people (No! Not Zaphod Beeblebrox as well!)
• child molesting homosexuals (At least normal homosexuals will be spared.)
• thieves (That includes YOU who are reading this at work and thus robbing your employer.)
• witches (Wizards, warlocks and all male practitioners of the occult, you can breathe a sigh of relief.)
• pencil necked, weak kneed, gutless men (Yes, you who don’t reign in your rebellious and lewd women!)
• pot smoking little devils (Only big devils and angels are allowed to smoke pot.)
• AND MORMONS (Sorry guys! You really had it coming.)

God’s judgment is coming, and you’re going to be the first in line. Repent now, or prepare for an eternity of hellfire and gnashing of teeth.

I’d really love to have a video of this kid preaching out there. Should be funny as hell!

If by any chance you don’t instantly know what the comic below is about, you need to nip off and watch this video of Ray Comfort using a banana as evidence for God’s existence, where he and Kirk Cameron try to come up with a proof of intelligent design. Once you’ve seen the vid, come back here and enjoy this parody.

Having said that, the comic is not meant to depict any person, living or dead, whether evolved from monkeys, created or intelligently designed by a creator god, and any resemblence there may be to any such person is purely coincidental.

A comforting banana proves God and intelligent design

After grossly embarassing himself and Kirk Cameron with the banana proof for God video that brought him as much ridicule as infamy, creationist Ray Comfort later pseudo-aplologised, but went on to make a similar intelligent design argument using a coke can.

Well, now you also know another alternate theory – supported by ample evidence, almost to the point of proof – that says God designed and made bananas not just to be eaten, but also for your comfort and enjoyment!

Clowns for Christ: We are fools for Christ's sake

Who ever said that religion is all about control, oppression and generally making you feel guilty for just being the way you are?

Clowns for Christ seem to have taken it upon themselves to make sure that your conversion to Christianity is as much fun as possible. They claim to be, ‘the oldest full time Gospel, preaching, soul winning clown Ministry, in America.’ You surely don’t mean there are more nutjobs like you on the loose!

With 1 Corinthians 4:10, ‘We are fools for Christ’s sake,’ as their motto, you have to at least admit that they got that bit right.

Still, I’d love to see the faces of their audience when they get to the fire and brimstone part of the show!
