What’s Jesus doing now?
Religious zealots say the darndest things
How very convenient. This site has compiled for us links to a great number of statements of bizarre religious belief of the christian fundamentalist persuasion, beliefs that ought to be seen as clearly incorrect by anybody with half their brain in, say, the nineteenth century.
But being religious is not about facts it’s about faith. And it’s not about thinking, it’s about being told what to think, told by religious leaders who have the prerogative to examine scriptures, other traditions, and their own self-serving opinions in order to synthesize—by cherry-picking quotations of their choice—what you will be told to believe.
My favorite example is the middle school that was turning out students who arrived at the high school thinking that the world is 3,000 years old. Hello?!? Even the most ardent fundamentalists don’t claim that civilization and written history preceded the creation of mankind. Get your stories right, asshole.

Huckabee planning to “amend the Constitution” to “god’s standards.”
Showing his true colors, Mike Huckabee revealed in front of a fawning audience his plans to turn the country into a theocracy by amending the constitution to accord with his personal delusions of what god ‘thinks’ he should do. More fun than a barrel of monkeys, Mike. You and the chimp, that is…

Girl’s eyes gouged in deadly ceremony
WELLINGTON (NZ): A 14-year-old who nearly died during an exorcism underwent emergency treatment after relatives scratched at her eyes to remove what they believed was a devil.
The girl, who had pieces scratched from her eyeballs, is a cousin of Janet Moses, a woman who died during the ceremony, conducted by a Maori family in Wainuiomata, near Wellington, on October 12.
Relatives are believed to have used a syringe to force water into her eyes and poured water down her throat…
Isn’t it amazing what fanatics will do in the name of exorcism?
Nine most badass bible passages
There are so many biblical stories promoting what can only described as Evil—without an extreme stretch of the imagination it would take to reinterpret them to mean something else. It’s always good to read the bible with an open mind. You’ll find that in many places it really doesn’t say what the bible-spewers are claiming that it does.
Astrological basis of the jesus story
At first I saw the Youtube title of this video, “Should this video be banned?” and the intro saying it was likely to be flagged and removed, and I said to myself, “It wouldn’t do to post a video that is going to go ‘poof’.” Then I noticed that it’s been up there since June. I guess whatever vile and perverted things he said about the catholic church must have been sufficiently neutralized by that bleepage in the first part of the video.
Every child should hear this in a diversity class. Haha, that’ll never happen.
Lowering the bar: a trip to the creation museum
For those of you who think that the bar of rationality is as low as it can go, we present the Creation Museum. If you look carefully, you can read a lot of the amazingly convoluted drivel on the signs by the displays.
I am always astounded that people are able to ignore all the evidence of evolution they live with in order to pretend that ancient magickal creation stories are true.
OMG, Google has turned EVIL
The change came quietly. Few noticed, at first. But yesterday morning, Google turned against its long-held motto and became evil. The appearance of the sign? On every stock ticker.
Yes, a price of 666.00. Is the end near?
