I do love what the commitment to mythology does to people. Religion distorts empathy and reason and allows bigots like the pastor featured in this clip to get away with spewing more than a few spitefully atrocious statements. It is funny though for a religion that often claims to represent absolute morality we observe that claims are presented such as: love thy neighbour. Note closely there is no “but only if they are heterosexual…” is not included anywhere in that phrase.
The heinous nature of christianity continues to stain our history with its bigotry and hate. We should do ourselves a favour and opt out as soon as possible.
Like to watch Christians tie themselves in knots trying to explain/justify sending infants to burn forever? Yah..me too.
Spit in the eye of religious stupidity. Proclaim a mighty “Frack You!” to the people who seriously believe in screwed up shite. Mark Twain said it best:
“Will a day come when the race will detect the funniness of these juvenilities and laugh at them–and by laughing at them destroy them? For your race, in its poverty, has unquestionably one really effective weapon–laughter. Power, Money, Persuasion, Supplication, Persecution–these can lift at a colossal humbug,–push it a little– crowd it a little–weaken it a little, century by century: but only Laughter can blow it to rags and atoms at a blast. Against the assault of Laughter nothing can stand.”

And of course, let us not forget the blasphemy itself – Enjoy!
Err…may 20th, apparently as soon as I get to use coloured text, my mind turns to goo.
Not too long ago Mystro wrote a persuasive piece about how horrible the ramifications are of being tormented for eternity and the loopy logic involved therein. Today’s Disservice will revisit that topic, only now in a helpful youtube video format to illustrate the machinations of a loving and just god.
Sometimes the related videos that show up in youtube are useful. This gem of a video from the call in show The Atheist Experience is almost like a for – dummies guide on how to discuss with Christians the paucity of truth in their sad fairy tale and the immorality of their so called ‘moral teachings’. Rather than having any actual proof that their delusion of choice is good for society and as a guide for life, the best argument they can offer goes something likes this: “this is my story and it makes me feel fuzzy on the inside and that’s good enough for me, truth be damned.”
That kind of insular thinking does not belong in the 21st century.
The lengths we go through to gain the illusion of control… Enjoy this thoughtful exploration of death and atheism.
What happens when we realize that religion is just a cultural vehicle to salve our irrational fear of death? Theramin Trees produces another outstanding video that engages the intellect with explanations of why we act the way we do when faced with the facts of our mortality. Seventeen minutes long, but you won’t notice them passing.
Videos like these get my heart beating faster. The sheer amount of ignorance displayed by the faithfully deluded is recorded for the world to watch and collectively groan as they*facepalm* to shield themselves from the pants-on-fire grade of stupid emanating from the mouths of creationists.
We have rationalists now (thank you AaronRa) that are unafraid to take religious bullshite to task, and expose the dishonesty and the delusion in public and show how dishonest and deceitful religion actually is.
