Thought for the Day

The only good Xian was Jebus, and he was a Jew.

Thought for the day

The Buddists invented gunpowder for celebrations.
The Xians took it and used it for killing and destruction.

Rick Gervais and his wonderful life.

Good man. He managed to cure his insanity before it could make its roots too deep.

The best quote: Seventy-five percent of Americans are God-fearing Christians; 75 percent of prisoners are God-fearing Christians. Ten percent of Americans are atheists; 0.2 percent of prisoners are atheists. Some would say that that just represents the majority of the population. That misses the point. Do you really think that Jebus is pleased that you are in prison? How does your incarceration balance with compassion and being kind to your fellow man? It doesn't, but that's okay. Evil begets evil.

Those idle hands

Sorry for the absence. Last week was busy so it was difficult to sit down and comb through my other sources for an inspiring seed. I do have some older items that I can tackle so more is on the way! The best part was that I had time to do what I needed to do. This was possible without having to spend time praying or wondering what Jebus would do or think of me in my situation and then I have to change what I am doing because of my self-realization. My way makes life so much simpler, easier, and rewarding. Thinking for yourself makes for a rewarding life, unlike Jebus who only rewards you after death. Fortunately, your death benefits the living with the beautiful lawns in the cemeteries and the fact that there is one less Xian.

Pat Condell makes me smile

This guy is awesome. Sharp and cogent, all of his clips make me laugh and this one is a beauty. I echo his final sentiment completely.

A plea to the religious

The Earth needs your help. There is a startling theory that the core of our planet, our shared ship in the darkness, may be cooling down. It is also believed that this phenomenon happened to the planet Mars. We all like the Earth so here is a plan to help everyone.

As we all know from the masterwork of Geophysics and Earth Sciences, the bibble, the Xian Underworld of Hell is located within the Earth itself (one more reason for that Denier on The View to feel stupid about a flat earth). Obviously, there are not enough souls being tormented to keep the core warm. I have spoken with Satan and the other make-believe Overlords who run their respective Underworlds for all the respective religions and we all agree: please stop proselytizing. If you are not out there saving people for your religion, then more people will wind up in the Underworld and our toes and hooves can be nice and toasty again. So, please, keep your your yap shut and your faith a secret. Take it with you to your grave and save yourself. Once our scientists confirm that the core is healthy again, we will let you know so that you can start sharing again. We promise.

How can people this stupid exist? (Old news)

This is an older event but it popped into my head the other day so here it is.

One of the vile members of the estrogen-magnetic kaffeeklatsch The View made the comment that she was not sure that the Earth was round because she was too busy trying to take care of her kids. While we all appreciate her doing what she, as a parent, is supposed to do, we do take offense that she uses this as some kind of excuse for being as dumb as a rock. We all agree that the bible says that women are inferior to men but, gadzooks!, this hits the redline.


Dear              (and other flat-Earthers and Vapidoi):

The Earth is round. We have pictures of it, we have flown around it, our satellites orbit it, astronauts - even female astronauts, American and others - have peed themselves at its geometric beauty. When you are walking around the earth, looking up at the night sky, there is no one special step that makes the stars suddenly zip halfway across the sky. Nor will they change complete - different stars or suddenly there is the sun - which is what would happen if the Earth was a disc with a minor depth or completely two dimensional, respectively. We could not have subways or harvest natural resources without digging into someone's basement on the other side of the world. How can the oceans be so deep if the Earth is flat? This, you have difficulty believing. However, I'm sure that the invisible sky daddy has your full support - something that you have never seen, of which you have no picture, not one shred of proof exists in any form at all in three-, two-, or even one-dimension. Your ignorance is repulsive. Thank the FSM that your co-hens took you to task for it.

Touched by Evil

In the 1999 presidential debates, Governor Bush was asked to identify his most influential philosopher. He replied, "Jesus Christ, because he touched my heart." Yikes, and not because Jesus was not a philosopher.

Before this happened, he was a drunk. I believe he was a fun drunk. He was the dopey friend that you took to parties because after three beers he would be in the front yard trying to light his farts and only succeeding after singing off all his pubic hair. That guy is fun!

And then...<dun, dun, dun!>...Jesus touched his heart.

Now, instead of happy and pickled, it is a hard, cold, piece of igneous detritus.

Now, wait a minute. I am not all that bad. You don't need all those human-endorsed freedoms. You can't even use them all at the same time. The only freedom that you need is to worship Jesus. I am pleased with my international campaign to bring others to Christ by using my automatic baptism process. America is having some problems so more people need to be prayin'. That's why we have this new system of keeping tabs on people so that they can be encouraged to pray. If we can hear what they are saying on their phones and in their email, then we can correct them when they get their prayers wrong. I care about America. It is a beautiful and historic land. The city of New Orelans was hit hard by one of God's little warning signs. Fortunately, the beautiful and historic part of the city is okay now, thanks to me and Brownie. Jesus loves America, but only the parts that are nice to walk around. That is why we have to use the Alaskan Wilderness to provide us with oil to make electricity to light our churches and power our National Prayer Monitoring service. To those who are less fortunate in our society, take heart in the comfort of Jesus and even your family. And if you are going hungry, your dead babies are delicious and nutritious. Babies are pure souls so if you eat them, they go to Heaven. And they are a renewable resource so they are good for the environment. Science and knowledge are overrated. Jesus never spoke about expanding the pool of human knowledge. He never spoke about going to the moon, or human cloning, or walking upright, or said that the Earth is round, so they must not be true. He oughta know. He's Jesus. Remember, Jesus loves you and he wants me to help you know that he loves you...by any means necessary.

So, thank you, Jesus, for changing my heart.

- Georgie


What is it about religious figures touching people? Keep your f-ing hands to yourself, Jebus.

Fast-forward 357 years, and a day

On February 14, 1990, Voyager I looked back towards home and, over a span of 60 separate images, captured most of the members of our solar system family.

No invisible, crystal, celestial spheres were damaged in the taking of this photograph.

Sweet, sweet irony.

This Day in History

On this day in history in 1633, Galileo Galilei arrived in Rome to begin his trial for heresy for proposing that the Earth orbits the sun. In 1992, he was formally and publicly cleared of wrongdoing. That's 359 years. However, the Church does not really move that slow. In 1822, they lifted the ban on the Galileo's work containing his theory. That's only 189 years.

I do not feel obliged to believe that the same God who endowed us with sense, reason, and intellect had intended for us to forgo their use. - Galileo Galilei

Happy Darwin Day

Darwin Day expresses gratitude for the enormous benefits that scientific knowledge, acquired through human curiosity and ingenuity, has contributed to the advancement of humanity. Start planning now for next year's bicentennial. It is going to kick ass!


Today also is Abraham Lincoln's birthday so you have two reasons to celebrate.

Real quotes

One thing that has been in discussion lately is how the Founding Father of the U.S. really felt about Christianity. First, we have to take this in context. They had their own bunches of nutjobs to onsider. And while, for their time, they might have seemed extreme, those old nutjobs are nothing like the crackpot Xian extremists running loose today. Some of them, like the Army of God fuckers, need to be caught and executed on the spot. While we're at it, grab those sub-humans in the Jesus Camp movie, too.

Anyway, the FFs were Deists. That means, they believed that Gawd did his business and then was hands-off. What man does with his life is up to man, so let's make the most of it and do our best.

But what did they really have to say? These are excerpts from a wonderful collection of quotes at Gods4suckers.Net


Benjamin Franklin - Inventor, Foundating Father
“The way to see by faith is to shut the eye of reason.”
“Lighthouses are more helpful than churches.”


Thomas Jefferson - American president, author, scientist, architect, educator, and diplomat.
Deist, avid separationist.
“Religions are all alike - founded upon fables and mythologies.”
“Question with boldness even the existence of God; because, if there be one, he must more approve of the
homage of reason than that of blindfolded fear.”
“Millions of innocent men, women, and children, since the introduction of Christianity, have been burned, tortured, fined, and imprisoned, yet we have not advanced one inch toward uniformity. What has been the effect of coercion? To make one half of the world fools and the other half hypocrites.” [Notes on Virginia]


Abraham Lincoln - American president
John T. Stuart, Lincoln’s first law partner: “He was an avowed and open infidel, and sometimes bordered on Atheism…He went further against Christian beliefs and doctrines and principles than any man I ever heard.”

Joseph Lewis quoting Lincoln in a 1924 speech in New York: ” The Bible is not my book nor Christianity my profession. I could never give assent to the long, complicated statements of Christian dogma.”


James Madison - 4th American president and political theorist.
“In no instance have...the churches been guardians of the liberties of the people.”


John Adams - 2nd President of the United States
“The divinity of Jesus is made a convenient cover for absurdity.”


Epicurus - Ancient Greek philosopher who was the founder of Epicureanism, one of the most popular schools of Hellenistic Philosophy.
“Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent.
Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent.
Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil?
Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God?”


Ambrose Bierce - American writer
Author of The Devil’s Dictionary. Here are some entries:
“PRAY: To ask the laws of the universe to be annulled on behalf of a single petitioner confessedly unworthy.”
“FAITH: Belief without evidence in what is told by one who speaks without knowledge, of things without parallel.”
“RELIGION: A daughter of Hope and Fear, explaining to Ignorance the nature of the Unknowable.”
“OCEAN: A body of water occupying about two thirds of a world made for man- who has no gills.”
“SAINT: A dead sinner revised and edited.”


Lucius Annaeus Seneca “the Younger,” - Roman stoic philosopher, writer, and politician
“Religion is regarded by the common people as true, by the wise as false, and by rulers as useful.”


Gallus Petronius - Roman courtier and wit .
“It is fear that first brought Gods into the world.”


Herbert George “H.G.” Wells - English author
“I do not believe I have any immortality. The greatest evil in the world today is the Christian religion.”


H. P. Lovecraft - American author
“We all know that any emotional bias — irrespective of truth or falsity — can be implanted by suggestion in the emotions of the young, hence the inherited traditions of an orthodox community are absolutely without evidential value…. If religion were true, its followers would not try to bludgeon their young into an artificial conformity; but would merely insist on their unbending quest for truth, irrespective of artificial backgrounds or practical consequences. With such an honest and inflexible openness to evidence, they could not fail to receive any real truth which might be manifesting itself around them. The fact that religionists do not follow this honourable course, but cheat at their game by invoking juvenile quasi-hypnosis, is enough to destroy their pretensions in my eyes even if their absurdity were not manifest in every other direction.”


Ferdinand Magellan - Explorer
“The church says the earth is flat, but I know that it is round, for I have seen the shadow on the moon, and I have more faith in a shadow than in the church.”


Richard Dawkins - British ethologist and popular science writer.
“We are all atheists about most of the gods that humanity has ever believed in. Some of us just go one god further.”


Frank Zappa- American composer, guitarist, singer and satirist.
“If you want to get together in any exclusive situation and have people love you, fine — but to hang all this desperate sociology on the idea of The Cloud-Guy who has The Big Book, who knows if you’ve been bad or good — and CARES about any of it — to hang it all on that, folks, is the chimpanzee part of the brain working.” [The Real Frank Zappa Book, (”Church and State” chapter) by Frank Zappa and Peter Occhiogrosso, p. 301]


George Carlin - comedian
“Religion is just mind control.”


Jodie Foster- Actor
““I absolutely believe what Ellie [Arroway, the atheist astronomer in the movie “Contact”] believes–that there is no direct evidence, so how could you ask me to believe in God when there’s absolutely no evidence that I can see? I do believe in the beauty and the awe-inspiring mystery of the science that’s out there that we haven’t discovered yet, that there are scientific explanations for phenomena that we call mystical because we don’t know any better.”


Just a few. Check out the rest.

The incomparable Henry Rollins

Spotted on bynkii.com.
I wonder which episode this is from? I hope a new season has not started yet because one of my minions will be in a world of hurt if it is so.


Now this one, I remember from the end of last season. The point here is about freedom. Religion does not offer freedom to the individual so it might be an alien concept to some.

Thought for the Day

A comment by the late, great Dave Allen:

If you cannot laugh at your own religion, then you cannot laugh at yourself.


By extension:

If you cannot laugh at yourself, they you can never be a complete person.

How does the saying go?

Oh yeah: omnia ergo quaecumque vultis ut faciant vobis homines et vos facite eis haec est enim lex et prophetae



This is one of the few genuine truths of xianity.

You'll hear Tiger by the Tail by Buck Owen,

I've - got - a - tiger by the tail, and it's a-twitchin'. //
I know that fucker's gonna spin around and gore me. //
And as my soul departs by badly, ripped-up body, //
I'm fucked, 'cause there ain't no Gawd. //
Yes, I'm fucked, 'cause there ain't no Gaw-d!

Travellin' Jesus by Geff Mack,

I fell in-to a burning ring of fire. //
It was normal fire 'cause //

And it burned, burned, burned, //
