Damn university servers couldn’t connect to the Net today. Better late than never. Enjoy some more Anti-Citizen X folks.
The world does not need more stupid. Honest. Yet it would seem that christianity is busily adding more coal to the IDiot furnace every day and pump pump pump pumping those bellows(!!) to spread their inane horseshit far and wide. Hobby Lobby is just the latest pinnacle of horseshit dispensary that is trying earnestly to keep their bronze age mumbo-jumbo sacred and impose it on others (typical behaviour for the religiously addled, one might add).
A -Pro Tip- for my foolish christian friends: Religious freedom means that you can do whatever you like with regard to religion…as long as it affects only you. When it starts affecting other people, you’re infringing on their religious freedom. If you run a company, your religious influence ends where benefits to your employees starts. Period. (thank you,Bionic Dance for the comment)
The world would be a much better place if the religious would instead of going to church and campaigning to reverse enlightenment ideals just played some Diablo 3. It would get all of their god bothering, change-the-world-for-the-worse urges out of their system. It is a win win situation for everyone, as the religious get to beat down god’s enemies and meanwhile, outside the game, reasonable people get to make reasonable decisions about how society should be run without the spectre of biblical tomfoolery consistently pissing on the Enlightenment ideals that our society is based on. It would be great!
The Evilly Evil Diablo himself. Can’t get more evil and in need of righteous smiting than this guy.
As far as heroically fighting evil, on a biblical scale even, let’s look at the plot synopsis for Act 1 of the game:
“Hero is sent to discover that the mystery of the falling star is a Stranger who cannot remember who or what he is. He recalls a sword in his possession that broke into 3 pieces that fall to Sanctuary in the vicinity of the Cathedral in Tristram.
The Hero then pursues all three pieces of the sword to re-forge it only to have Deckard Cain realize the sword belongs to none other than Tyrael, the Archangel of Justice. Shortly thereafter, Cain is killed by the demoness Maghda, working under the Lesser Evil, Belial’s command. Maghda then proceeds to kidnap Tyrael and the Hero runs off to rescue him.
After working their way down Leoric’s manor and estate, the Hero confronts and defeats the Butcher and successfully rescues Tyrael from Maghda’s clutches, returning his sword, El’Durin which helps to restore Tyrael’s memory. During the scuffle, Leah learns of her mother’s whereabouts and finds out she may be residing in Caldeum. The Hero, Leah, and Tyrael all set out for Caldeum immediately.”
Wow! Even in the beginning we have angels and demons, mysterious swords broken into three parts (a solvable trinity conundrum for once), lost memories, all sorts of heroic activities needing to be undertaken to save the world from darkness. How awesome is that?
Better yet, your character learns new skills and becomes more proficient in combating the corrupted forces of evil following the epic story back to heaven itself where battle must be waged against the invading forces of hell. Fighting in heaven with jebus and himself and himself by yourside = blissful religious paroxysms of pleasure. Why ruin a Sunday by listening to some musty, dusty priest drone on about fishes and loaves when you can be driving your sword through hellspawn? You can get all the righteousness you could ever need all in one tight, non oppressing others with your bullshit, gaming experience.
The best thing is that when you’re done grinding monsters for God, you can turn off the game go outside and appreciate the majesty of the real world and safely leave the digital versions of heaven and hell online waiting for your pious smackdown next Sunday. Then, instead of being a deluded religiously addled bag of dicks for the week, you can focus on being a rational, empathetic, human being dedicated on building a better society for all.
Five out of six classes depicted here, the Demon Huntress, Monk, Wizard, Witch Doctor and Barbarian (missing the Crusader).
While the Jehovah’s Witnesses may be most famed for refusing life-saving medical treatments like blood transfusions for their children, their doctrine also ruins lives in smaller ways. And they’re determined to get their message out. See below for a message to the Deaf community, setting a Biblical foundation for forbidding masturbation. (The soundtrack was added later by somebody else.)
The main thing I personally learned from this video is that the ASL signs for male and female masturbation are different, and whoever made up the sign for female masturbation didn’t know about the clitoris.
Below the fold, subtitles for what the guys are actually saying.

The Pope is getting his own weekly fanzine! We’re not talking some stodgy relic to buy at the Vatican gift shoppe to prove you were there, oh no! This is something that’s going to be coming out every week on newssstands all across Italy, and being produced by a regular capitalist magazine publisher, not an official Vatican source. This presumably means that somebody has market research to suggest the Italian marketplace has enough demand for Pope Junk that they’ll keep paying for pages and pages of it, week after week after week, or the publisher wouldn’t be bothering.
The 68-page Il Mio Papa (My Pope) will hit Italian newsstands on Ash Wednesday, offering a glossy medley of papal pronouncements and photographs, along with peeks into his personal life. Each weekly issue will also include a pullout centerfold of the pope, accompanied by a quote.
source: New York Times
One thing that could cut into their profits: apparently the Holy See owns the rights not only to the Pope’s writings, but also his “figure and personal identity.” Says Rev. Giuseppe Costa, director of the Libreria Editrice Vaticana, which administers the copyright, “In the case they publish the pope’s words, I will have to intervene.”
Religion as commodity much?
I will lead it to the loyal commentariat to make the jokes involving the words “Pope”, “Centrefold”, and “Junk”.

How far have we fallen? Is there a bottom to the well of stupidity that christianity is? I keep expecting one day that people will grab a clue, catch on to the devious mind-fuck of organized religion and simply say, “Enough.”
That fabled day seems to be moving into the future – outpacing our best attempts ever to reach it. Why? Because we need to believe so desperately in magic that we throw Reason right out fracking window. Critical thinking, rationality, skepticism? Defenestration for the lot of you! Jebus trumps all your asses!
Discern4’s video is light-hearted but the it does not answer the question that is begging to be answered: who responds to this bunk? Who twizzles the the holy tassels of jesus in hopes of having their debt magically cleared?
I know who.
Desperate, ignorant people. The very same ones religion has been ‘praying’ on since the beginning of our history. The practice is immoral and has no place in a civilized society (yes dear reader you get to fill in the blanks for the indeterminate referal in the the sentence – whatever you pick will work, trust me).
Alright, we already know we have enough flashes to make one hell of a light show, but this gem is really too good not to give extra attention to.
Never coming to a science course near you. :)
