Regarding Dr. Tillman

I told myself that I was not going to comment on the vicious, hypocritical murder of Dr. Tillman, the late-term abortion doctor in some flat part of the country.

Considering how much gawd-lovers scream about abortion and children, do they not realize that children and reproduction technically are their gawd's curse to women and punishment to both men and women? Of course it is. To be funny, one could say that it was paradise because you could walk around the house naked all day. However, there is nothing to indicate that A&E were copulating prior to acquiring knowledge, prior to which they were as dumb as the moss on a stone. They did not have offspring in the garden. Ah! Maybe they could not because they were not sexually mature. That would be interesting in light of religious figures and children.

One thing that does bother me about religious justice is that a mundane instrument is required at all. There were a number of jerk-offs who said that their gawd would not want this murder victim to live. Obvious IT did because IT had not killed it before then. After all, IT is omniscient and omnipotent, but more importantly, IT is obviously lazy. Maybe IT decided to test IT's cultists with the existence of the murder victim. By committing the murder, the cultists are telling IT that they do not like that test. Well, isn't that convenient. If you tell your teacher that you don't want to take their stupid test, they say No problem. Here's your F. This shit does not jive with love thy neighbor and turn the other cheek, probably because it's inconvenient and isn't compatible with their burning intolerance. I wish they would follow the turn the other cheek line. More children from the insane cultists need to be aborted, as late-term as possible. Gas it right after the live birth.

There have also been a number of cultists who have publicly endorsed this murder. They should be rounded up and executed, young and old, rich and poor, cultists and cult leaders. They are all criminally insane. Now, we will not give them lethal injection, or electrocute them, or decapitate them, or shoot them, or hang them. Let's use their own favorite: burn them alive. All the others kill more quickly than burning but that is not the real reason to use it. We use it for the blood-curdling screams one hears coming from the flames. Real, protracted pain and suffering. They deserve only the best.

Squirm, selfish cultist, squirm!

No matter which way I turn when I leave, I have to pass by a church. When I do, it starts my mind to race and my blood to heat. Today was no different. What popped into my head today was the phrase, "my personal relationship with <your brand of pasta here>..." I then responded, "yes, it is a personal relationship. Mine is different. Howdy Doody's is different. Why are you talking to me?"

As I have said in the past, a cultist's faith is unique to them and solely for that individual's benefit. Of course, they may tell you that they want to share their joy with their faith. Why does that individual think that anyone else cares? Does the mad cultist share every time it is overcome with joy, say, from Blue Bell® Dutch Chocolate ice cream? How about when it wins the temporal, financial lottery? I've never seen it. I want some ice cream, too. Then, I am happy to chat with it, but only about ice cream.

Next time a cultist approaches you, wanting to share their faith, steer the conversation this way...

"I want to share with you about knowing <your brand of pasta here>."

"Wow. Before you do, do you consider yourself a most excellent practitioner of the pasta?"

"I try, through the grace of the pasta sauce."

"Do you think, right now, that I am going to be denied the unending pasta buffet?"

"Well, friend, by knowing the pasta..."

"No, that is not what I asked. Take a snapshot and put it on the scale. This is it, right here. Will I be denied the unending pasta buffet?"

"I cannot say for certain (This assumes an intelligent, non-raving cultist), but without constant attention, we all are in danger of that."

"Fair enough. For the sake of argument, let us agree that the answer is 'no.' Now, with that same snapshot, do you believe that you will enjoy the buffet?"

"I hope that I will be invited to the buffet when the time comes."

"Okay. Again, for the sake of argument, let us agree that that answer is 'yes.' Now, would you, right now, make a complete swap of the disposition of our souls in your afterlife?"

If the cultist answers yes, then the reason is one of the following:
1) They are truly genuine, but probably expect that their sacrifice will earn them another spot.
2) They are lying because this not something that one can do, according to the cult's manifesto.

If the cultist immediately answers no, then you know it is either #2 from the Yes group, or they have no intention of giving up their reservation.

If the cultist pauses before answering no, it was stunned by your question and denial is just a programmed response since all cults are about denying the individual. Most likely, the cultist will give you some excuse.

If the cultist does not give a direct answer to this clearly simple, non-confusing question-what a shock-and instead starts to ramble about the job of the happy, good cultist, take that as a no.

No matter the answer given, a cultist pursues its faith for purely selfish reasons. It does not care about your disposition. Maybe it constantly questions its own faith and now, you just attacked the sole reward for its foolish behavior. For an added bonus, you can tell the cultist, except the ones that answer Yes#1, "Well, that doesn't sound very pasta-like," and watch them squirm and likely become belligerent.

I ask again, why are you talking to me!?

L'Oignon: Breaking News: Panicked, Sweat-Covered Pope Reverses Longstanding Ban On Abortion

VATICAN CITY—Overturning 2,000 years of religious doctrine, an out-of-breath and visibly flustered Pope Benedict XVI announced Sunday that the termination of unwanted pregnancies was now "completely and perfectly acceptable in the eyes of God."

Not the joyful bondage for which I hoped.

There have been many times that I was ready to knock this one out and would not. Finally, it takes a death close to home to help one find the strength to take keyboard under hand and let it all out.

Overview: Marriage is a redundant, antiquated, superfluous, unnecessary, bogus institution that has no place in an intelligent, modern society.

Much is made of the institution of marriage by people with a vested interest in its perpetuation: theo-factional group leaders. You hear volumes of rhetoric about marriage is a sacred institution and marriage is between a man and a woman. Those two bites, right there, are the worst. If you examine the language used – matrimony, (joyful) bonds of matrimony, wedlock, conjugal – much of it has roots which are demeaning to a free-thinking, free-willed individual. I will come to that momentarily.

Marriage is sacred?!! What a load of crap. Pagans had marriage long, long before the psychotic cultist turds of today came along. Going back to pre-xian Roman times, it was partly to ensure legitimacy of offspring. Yes, it worked just as well then as now. If marriage is so awesome, why do couples have paternity tests?

Marriage is between a man and a woman? Here is another bovine with diarrhea. Matrimony is between a man and a woman. The word comes from Latin and is translatable as "to lead or guide into motherhood." You do not hear matrimony used as much now. After all, an elderly couple who marry cannot have matrimony. What about a couple who do not intend or are unable to have children? What about a couple who already have kids from prior situations and need/want absolutely no more? No matrimony there either. That's probably why marriage is heard more today. It covers more of the bases.

With that out of the way, is it really between just a man and a woman? Who cares? Considering how infinitely personal religion is, this is nothing more than an individual's religion – an individual's particular hangups – insinuating itself into someone else's business. What despicable arrogance. Originally, matrimony was not a religious ceremony. It was social. Superstitious peoples involved their gods in the ceremony for good luck. Today, the cultists are forced to adopt (now that is a funny word choice) a new term: marriage. Without asking anyone else, the new term now has to take on the same reverence as the displaced word.

Some people are married to their work. Is their job their partner? Does it complete that person? Too bad if that is the case. One might go so far as to think that this person is a bit deranged. Why this person and not the members of a couple...or the cultists doing the screaming? It's a double standard. As it has been said before: if two people love and care for each other, let them be together.

Something else that comes up when discussing marriage is that it is a sacred contract, a covenant, between two people. This is the part that I loathe the most. Two people do not need a contract—a set of rules and stipulations—to live together, have fun together, produce offspring, and finally grow old together. Two rational, sane, intelligent people do not need it because they will simply do it anyway. Another term that relates to marriage is conjugal. This is another word from Latin that literally mean "yolked together" - as in cattle. Does that sound like something intelligent people do? Intelligent people can easily work together to make a happy life for themselves. Dumb animals have to be tied to one another and have a driver whip them to go in the right direction—okay, just "a direction." Who is that driver? Take your pick: religion, society, tradition, guilt or any other members of the Anti-Progressive Club.

Between having to use a new term and the mainstreaming of the gay culture starting in the Eighties, the cultists have felt pushed into a corner. Many things in society that used to belong to them have been whittled away in the name of equality. There is very little left to them - thank the spaghetti for that! They deserve nothing special in an age of enlightenment. If anything, their behavior only highlights their hatred and bigotry. You cannot really blame them since their guide is a book that is confusing, anachronistic, and self-contradictory. One thing that is somewhat clear is that their supposed deity said "love thy neighbor as thyself." Pretty embarrassing, if you ask me. If they are so full of self-loathing, maybe they should kill themselves and leave the planet to people who do not have hang-ups, who have compassion, who can tolerate others and have it not impact their lives. How can I help them on their way? I know, let's eliminate all marriage-related benefits. That is equality and they hate it.

Die, hypocritical bastards, die, and take your bullshit institution with you.

For Karl.

Simply ponderous

Newton, NJ stops having a sectarian invocation and members whine. Now they will have secular invocation to open sessions. Why?

I do not normally think about how often a prayer opens up a official government session of whatever. Congress does it. I would expect the Supreme Court does. It has no impact on the proceedings yet they feel compelled to do it, as if without it, the session will be somewhat less. They do not do it for the hell of it, it has a purpose. Functionally, it has no impact.

There may be some members of the session who have to have a prayer before they knuckle down to work. These people are weak and ineffective. Anyone who cannot work for themselves without offering some kind of pagan ritual beforehand should be chastised. For them, it is a prayer to their deity but it really is a pagan ritual. Historic texts that predate the blight of xianity describe a prayer ritual before government works, festivals, and the like. Much like everything else in xianity, they also ripped off the groveling need to beg their sky daddy for guidance because they are too stupid to do it themselves, or, most likely, in an attempt to channel the divine wisdom of a plate of spaghetti into their own dealings.

When these people in New Jersey were told that what they are doing is really not a good idea from a legal perspective, they wisely decided to stop doing it. If only they could have kept their mouths shut. They vomit out the same old shit of If you don't like it, close your ears! The same advice they ignore for the likes of Howard Stern or intelligent, adult material on the radio or tv. Then, that is filth that must be stopped. I am sure that the individual, who brought to their attention this problem, couldn't care less if someone wants to beg the invisible man for common sense to do their job. The objection is foisting it on everyone present. Not everyone is a dolt who needs to be told what to do. Some people can think and make intelligent decisions for themselves.

They have pissed and moaned and changed their ways...or not. Now they are going to try and devise a secular invocation before they start their business. Again, why? It is still a waste of time. The secular wording will only annoy the brain-dead babies who miss their brain-daddy. Every recitation will grate on them and hopefully drive them into apoplexy. With any luck, their heads will explode and then decent, intelligent people can be chosen to work on the council. Unless...that is all that their city has. If they have to perform a pagan ritual to decide when the county faire is, nothing help them if they have to make a real decision.

It is simply ponderous.

Thoughts: Art, taxes

Fair warning: this is a conversation that popped into my head this morning. It this one is going to be rough.

At first I thought of the New Yorker cover with Obama and his wife that caused a stir a few months ago.

Then I thought of another cover: McCain giving Jesus a rusty trombone. What might xians think?

- that's revolting.
- it's art, like a crucifix in a jar of urine.
- i'm not paying my taxes for that.
- and i'm not paying my taxes for schools because i have no kids, nor do I support a level of taxation that is sufficient to provide tax breaks for religious organization.
- that's different, they do good for the community.
- and art is for culture and society, a concept lost of ignorant bastards such as yourself. I'll take a real jar of urine over your make-believe piss any day.

Richard Dawkins reads his email

These emails may not be indicative of the whole of xiandom but unfortunately are indicative of the loudest bunch. Their pithy prose also highlights just how unchristian these xians are. Just how unchristian? Check out Matthew 5:43-48, but be careful because the hypocrisy can make you vomit:

[43]audistis quia dictum est diliges proximum tuum et odio habebis inimicum tuum [44]ego autem dico vobis diligite inimicos vestros benefacite his qui oderunt vos et orate pro persequentibus et calumniantibus vos [45]ut sitis filii Patris vestri qui in caelis est qui solem suum oriri facit super bonos et malos et pluit super iustos et iniustos [46]si enim diligatis eos qui vos diligunt quam mercedem habebitis nonne et publicani hoc faciunt [47]et si salutaveritis fratres vestros tantum quid amplius facitis nonne et ethnici hoc faciunt [48]estote ergo vos perfecti sicut et Pater vester caelestis perfectus est

It also shows that for these people, there is nothing else. Fortunately, someone has asked Mr. Dawkins this very question, which he answered beautifully. I would wager that she had no idea that this was coming:

The Sunday funnies - part one

Sunday morning is laundry time. The best part is throwing away the little magazines that are left there by the Mormons. I will look at the titles on the cover, sometimes I will look at the table of contents, have a nice chuckle and chuck them in the trash...but not this week.

There were two issues lying out whose covers just screamed of funny material. I was not disappointed. This is the first of several posts inspired by their contents.

This first writing will deal with their topic: Must we always tell the truth? That sounds like a loaded question coming from a very dubious source. I started reading the first main article, which began with a parable (nice to see them sticking with their writing tradition of inventing stories to make a point) of someone being backed into a corner and forced to make a choice of telling the truth or lying. After leaving the parabloid hanging in his predicament, the author brings in the first bibble reference.

The author writes: Jesus, of course, was referring to the event in the garden of Eden when Satan induced the first human pair to disobey God and thus fall victim to sin and death.

Touching. When writing that, I noticed this time the choice of the word pair as opposed to humans or man and woman but notice the lack of couple because of the lack of marriage. Anyway...

When I finished reading the paragraph, I knew that I had a gold mine in those thirty-one words. The first thing that popped into my head is the oft-cited mantra Gawd's plan. This mantra causes some problems with the author's sentence. Let's see what we have.

If you take the plan into account, then that means that Gawd planned for Satan to induce humans to sin. Humans were intentionally created to sin and fall from grace. Why would IT do that? Simple. Gawd is a wicked and vain deity. IT is wicked because IT intentionally created humans to fall. Once fallen, humans would be remorseful and want to beg for forgiveness to return to grace. A kind deity would not subject humans to atone for something that they were surreptitiously made to do in order to feed someone's/something's ego and need for praise.

Then there are the words: fall victim to sin and death. The only bad thing to which humans fell victim is a sneaky deity, who knew what they would do before they did it and then has the balls to punish them. When IT scooped up that first handful of clay, IT was probably salivating at the thought of the pain and suffering that would soon be inflicted by their punishment, which would lead to countless generations of pleas and prayers to IT.

Satan may have known what IT was planning and thus tried to help the humans by giving them knowledge to break them free of the naiveté and ignorance that was given them before being cast out or paradise. Can you imagine how screwed we would be if humans had done something else to be cast out?

Remind me again, which is the bad deity?

Holy Crap! -- Church Cancels Teen Gun Giveaway

"I don't want people thinking, 'My goodness, we're putting a weapon in the hand of somebody that doesn't respect it who are then going to go out and kill,'" said Bob Ross, the church's youth pastor. "That's not at all what we're trying to do."

The giveaway is not an actual gun, but an AR-15 assault rifle. It's probably part of a recruiting system for the Army of Gawd. Anyway, that fact that you have to do this to increase attendance should tell you about the event in the first place.

One more thing. Nice grammar, Bob. There is a minimum of four major errors. No wonder the true message of your Gawd is confusing.

I am completely convinced now

http://www.buytalkingjesus.com/

Wait a minute. Isn't this an idol? Uh oh.
Wait a minute. Jebus is the son of Gawd. Gawd said, "thou shalt have no other gods before me." Uh oh. Does that mean that anyone who worships Jebus is being naughty?
Where is the black Jebus? Where is the hispanic Jebus who speaks spanish? Where is the Eastern Orthodox Jebus? Where is the Jebus who speaks Aramaic? Where is the Jebus who speaks ancient Greek? Does this Jebus have a penis? Does this Jebus tell children "not to have sex but your mommy and daddy will burn in Hell because they did?"

It is painful to watch

I was watching 60 Minutes last Sunday and there was a man talking about his economic difficulties and how that would impact his selection of a presidential candidate. This fellow said that he was unlikely to vote for Barack Obama because he is a Muslim and would not be sworn in using the bibble. He said that that aspect troubled his deep inside. The point of asking him was to highlight some of the smearing that is occurring in the campaigns.

His words made me grit my teeth in anger at his intolerance. He was subdued about it but does not mask the vile hypocrisy. Maybe I am wrong. Maybe in one of the Ecumenical Councils the bishops decided that anyone who did not profess or adopt xeanity was evil and should be killed. You would think that something this significant would have been recorded somewhere.

Some might say that not all xians are that way but they are wrong. Tolerance certainly does not appear so in the history of xeanity. After all, Constantine the First had to adopt xeanity as the religion of the Roman Empire or the xians would have ripped the place apart. I think that there is a distinction about tolerance. If you enact the philosophy, then tolerance is possible, but not guaranteed. If you join the religion, then you cannot be tolerant. If you were, then you would disagree with all forms of proselytizing, despite it being done for the good of the individual, from the proselytizer's point of view.

This ignorant clown should be happy that Obama has a religious text to hold dear. If he knew anything beyond his third-grade coloring-book education, he would know that izlam shares many aspects of xeanity because they both borrow from the Jewish traditions. Izlam regards Jebus as a prophet, just not as significant as Mohamed, because you have to root for the home team. It should comfort this guy that Obama has drunk some kind Kool-Aid®, even though it is not his own favorite flavor.

Frankly, it does not matter one sliver of a whit if the future president eats hearts out of live babies. Can that person run the country with a fair, unbiased, even hand? Right now it is not. I wish that I could find an editorial that I saw a few years ago that touched on an atheist president. Why is it so bad to have person in that job without a religious filter occluding their vision? The president is not our pastor-in-chief. The president is not our national cleric. The president runs one-third of our government, and our government is not a theocracy.

Easy money

On February 13, an eighth grader in California was shot twice, once in the head, by another student (story from Yahoo news). Police have not revealed a motive but it seems to stem from the victim begin gay. He would sometimes wear high heels and women's clothing to school and there is a later snippet that the victim asked the suspect to be his valentine.

The victim was brain-dead at the hospital and was kept on life-support for organ harvesting before support was finally removed. Not one peep from Congress about pulling the plug in this case. Perhaps it is because the victim is gay.

Police have a suspect in custody but the real mastermind remains at-large: Jebus.

A guy dressing up in a dress - that's funny. Apparently for some Xians, homosexuality just reminds them of their own homocentric cult. They want to stop but are afraid to turn the gun on themselves.

You can overcome, some day. Be strong. Just remember to squeeze, not pull, the trigger. Aim through the eye socket or nose. Maybe behind the ear. It's tough, but I have faith in you.

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.

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.

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.

Cartoon by Don Addis

What's wrong with this picture?

I'll give you a hint. One of them prays to a carved piece of wood and practices cannibalism. It's okay, the cannibalism is a tradition.

Now for today's philosophical quandary: What is the actual difference between the two system depicted? Here's a hint: nothing.

Food for thought

The Occam's Razor statement is self-explanatory so let's add another point to consider. We all are grateful for those little icth-ian warning symbols that Xians put on their cars. One variant has the word Truth inside the symbol. With that thought in mind, and looking at this image, where exactly is that Truth? Looks like you'll need a GPS unit to find it - or you would if it was on a map or even could be found at all.

The destination you've chosen is not a valid destination. Please try again.

Mr. President...

What is your opinion of the report that says that Christianity is not the only religion on the planet?



Now that isn't a Christian thing to say.
