One Nation Under God

Now this hilarious Pledge of Allegiance cartoon gives an interpretation of “One Nation under God” that I can agree with! Just think of how religion, and ergo ‘God’, tend to get in the way and screw up everything, from the rights of gay people to be together and live like the rest of us to our understanding of science and the world around us. You see what I mean?

If there’s any praying types out there reading this, could you kindly ask God to get off our backs for a millennium or two? Thanks!

Long live the First Amendment! The kids in this video sure know how to exercise their rights, and that “One Nation under nobody” during the Pledge of Allegiance sure did put a priceless look on the Mrs Principal’s face!

She can try and play it down to the girl being in kindergarten all she likes, but the fact remains that those two kids will soon be way smarter than she will ever be.

One Nation under nobody! Way to go guys!

Jesus had two dads - why can't I?

Indeed, why not? Why all the anger against homosexuals from the Christian camp?

I mean, come on! You say that Jesus – the same guy who rounded up twelve men who were willing to leave their wives behind to follow him – hates gays?

Read your Bible and you’ll see that the Jesus portrayed in its pages would have empathized with gays in the same way that he did with all other social outcasts, from lepers to prostitutes to tax collectors. So go out and love your neighbors – even the gay ones!

Prepare to believe in a Photoshopped world

Welcome to the Creation Museum.

• Live the history of Creation – seven wonderful days, magically compressed into a couple of hours.
• Visit the Garden of Eden, where children play in the shadow of benevolent dinosaurs and evil serpents talk down from forbidden trees.
• Learn how Noah heroically managed to fit millions of animal species into a tiny boat.
• Discover how unscrupulous Victorian archaeologists buried billions of fake fossils all over the planet in history’s biggest hoax.

Come along and enjoy a terrific day out for all the family. Just check in your brains at the door and prepare to believe in a fantastic Photoshopped world.

Religions really don’t have a clue when it comes to sex (with the happy exception of the Tantric practices, of course!).

They blab on about how abstinence is the only solution and how condoms actually make the AIDS crisis worse (and please don’t remind me that Prof. Green from Harvard says that condoms make you feel safer so you take more risks – by that argument, we shouldn’t wear seatbelts in our cars – and after seeing what they have made of the economy, why would you trust anyone from Harvard, anyway?).

But I digress.

In the midst of all the nonsensical babble, it is refreshing to see a church finally make a correct statement on the matter of sex. Refreshing, and hilarious!

A 4 inch tongue can bring a 6 foot man to his knees

This idea of the small overcoming the great set me thinking about the story of David and Goliath. Was it a metaphor for homosexuality after all? I wonder.

Roll up! Roll up! Don’t live in doubt any longer!

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.
