It is important to celebrate the aspects of religion that bring a smile to your face. This clip has been exercising my smile muscles since I first saw it.
I’m such a fan of the yodel-rap.
So, we have the above and then we have stuff like this –
I would be much more likely to get all ‘religiousy’ if they were all about the Bach. :)
You know what makes religion go away? Discussing it and teasing out how amazingly toxic it is for people in modern society. Where is the CBC on this media front? We in Canada desperately need a platform to talk about the tough issues that face our societies. Lawrence Krauss slams religion publicly and defends his point of view with great alacrity. We need more of this, so much more.
Happy Bunny Day or Happy Easter as the deluded like to say. :) This merry bunny day, we have a short, but telling expose on how much bullcookery you have to swallow if you really want to get down the Jebus and hang out with him on Easter.
God is quite the bag of dicks, it would seem.
Potholer54 does a wonderful job of skewering the creationist stupidity involved with probability, he neatly lays bare the idea that MORE ZEROES = Scientific Fact because god said.
Enjoy. :)
Shocking.
There has been a poster knocking around that illustrates every contradiction (with footnotes) in the bible. I’m posting it here as a resource so not only can we tell the deluded that their magic book is inconsistent, we can show them how inconsistent it actually is. Aaaaaand it is a pretty picture to boot.

Superstition, and it’s ugly codified twin brother religion, rely on the suspension of one’s critical faculties. When someone is going on about how jeebus talks to them or they are feeling the power of god or <insert prurience for inane godbaggy here> or whatever, the topics covered in this video by Qualia Soup come to mind. Confirmation bias, what we all struggle against (or should be struggling against) robs us of the capacity to evaluate situations and events around us in a reasonable way.
You may be “good with god” but you look pretty stupid to the rest of us because we lack the cognitive barriers of faith you’ve erected against reason (aka the world as it is, as opposed to how we want it to be.)
Anyways, QS says this much better than I, thus on to the video!
There is a horrendous series of advertisements for the moron mormon church which centres around the ‘appeal to authority’ fallacy. The ads each feature one person (that’s one person for each ad, in case I’m confusin’ ya) and this person goes on and on about how they are a wonderful person. At the end of the ad, the featured person finishes by affirming ‘I’m a mormon.” Of course, nothing in the first part of the ad has much to do with actual mormonism. That would defeat the purpose. The ads are supposed to gloss over all the ugly bits (and there are mountains of ugly bits), build up a bunch of warm fuzzies, then sneakily latch the happy feelings onto their religion. It isn’t a new tactic. Stealing credit from others is a solid ingredient for the foundation of any strong religion.
Enter the latest episode of ‘Way of the Mister’. This series is an offshoot of the wonderfully fantastic web show ‘Mr.Deity”. If you haven’t checked it out yet, I strongly recommend you remedy the situation as soon as possible (YouTube channel, Website).
This video is all about those mountains of ugly bits I mentioned earlier and it brilliantly highlights everything the church of LSD LDS doesn’t want you to know.
All former believers, whatever religion you were freed from, are more than welcome to put their own “I no longer believe” lines in the comments.
