Jesus Presents… MeatPuppet Madness! (8 Hours Only)

From Daily Mail UK

A hat is nice when you have no skull.

A furious mother is demanding answers from Facebook as to why they took down photographs she posted on the site of her son, who was born with a rare birth defect, and then later banned her from the site altogether.

Grayson James Walker, from Memphis, Tennessee, was born on February 15, 2012 with Anencephaly, a rare neural tube birth defect in which a baby is born without parts of the brain and skull.

His parents Heather and Patrick Walker knew 16 weeks into the pregnancy their son would not live very long due to his birth defect.

The only good thing about this story is that for 9 months or so these insane jackasses were prevented from creating more living christ-spawn to infest the world. And perhaps the increased ease with which you could eat a baby brain.

Pastafarian In A Foxhole

From BoingBoing

Justin Griffith, an atheist in the US military, tells the story of how he ended up with ATHEIST/FSM on his dogtags. It all started when he enlisted as an atheist, only to have his recruiter record his religion as “Baptist.” Even switching recruiters didn’t end up with the error corrected. At boot camp, recruits were only allowed one “holy book” from their stated religion, so he brought The Gospel of the Flying Spaghetti Monster, which became the most-loved book in camp, much-borrowed and re-read by the other recruits. Even his drill sergeant liked it. Kinda.

Drill Sergeant: “Private Griffith – is that some contraband?”
Me: “No, Drill Sergeant. It’s my holy book.“
Drill Sergeant: “Give that to me…” *Yoink!* “Flying Spaghetti Monster!? What the fuck?”
Me: ”I’m a Pastafarian, Drill Sergeant.”

This is how we may finally defeat them – one perfect act of mockery at a time. Good job Private Griffith!

Jesus Says YES To Mutant Children

From Huffington Post

A young mother has made a touching video about the love of her life: her son.

In the clip originally posted on GodTube, Lacey Buchanan displays a series of flashcards that tell her experience in dealing with stares, snide remarks and questions about her son’s looks.

Christian, who is now 1-year-old, was born without eyes and with a severe case of cleft lip and palate.

I don’t give a shit if you think it’s cruel or heartless – this child should have been aborted. Natural selection is there for a reason people! The fact that he was born in Tennessee and was given the name Christian is beyond appropriate. The video builds up like a horror movie, and I won’t give away the ending but the effects are fucking awesome

Jesus Says NO to Hugging

From Huffington Post.

Tennessee teachers can no longer condone so-called “gateway sexual activity” such as touching genitals under a new law that critics say is too vague and could hamper discussion about safe sexual behavior.

“Kissing and hugging are the last stop before reaching Groin Central Station, so it’s important to ban all the things that lead to the things that lead to sex.”

It’s always nice when the christing take a page from Orwell’s 1984.

Crumbling Faith – The Life Raft To Reason!

From Huffington Post.

As coming out parties go, this was a big one.

As the American Atheists convention here wound down in March, a woman with short dark hair and a dark suit took the stage.

Standing under the projection of a large capital “A,” she told the crowd of several hundred that she was a pastor who, for the last several months, had been questioning her beliefs online under the pseudonym “Lynn.”

Then she took a deep breath and said, “My name is Teresa. And I am an atheist.” As the room exploded with cheers, Teresa MacBain wiped away tears.

It’s tragic that the congregants of these heroic individuals just keep on drinking the kool aide. Tragic, but not unexpected. Stupid sheep.

Ready to be Angry? The Story of god for Kids

I stumbled across a printout of this document in my travels. While the language of the document isn’t particularly shocking, you have to keep in mind that it was written specifically to help educators, parents, church staff and any other mindless, stupid believer with no imagination to indoctrinate very young children into the absurd line of bullshit that is their faith. We all know that the primary reason people continue to believe this nonsense after leaving childhood behind is because they had this insane story drilled into them by most of their legitimate authority figures throughout their formative years. I’ve included the entire document unedited, with my verbose commentary interspersed in red – because in all honesty I’m incapable of reading it without spewing acidic vitriol all over my keyboard. So, if you have the stomach and the patience for it, let’s begin by learning how to…

I Love Teresa MacBain

From NPR.

Teresa MacBain has a secret, one she’s terrified to reveal.

“I’m currently an active pastor and I’m also an atheist,” she says. “I live a double life. I feel pretty good on Monday, but by Thursday — when Sunday’s right around the corner — I start having stomachaches, headaches, just knowing that I got to stand up and say things that I no longer believe in and portray myself in a way that’s totally false.”

She’s got a whole new life ahead of her, and it will very likely be free of her creepy mustachioed cop husband. Don’t worry Teresa, husband #2 will be all kinds of awesome. Now pack your things and move!

Santa? Easter Bunny? Tooth Fairy? Jesus.

I’m standing in the home of a client. He seems to be a reasonable man; rational, successful and level-headed. As I’m working he begins telling me about his 11 year old daughter. How smart and precocious she is.

“I’m telling you, she doesn’t accept any nonsense, never has!” He explains with enthusiasm. “One day, we’re driving and my daughter is in the back seat.”

“Daddy,” she asks me, “Santa Clause?”

“I couldn’t believe it, she’s only eight, but I can’t lie to her! I tell her, Yep.”

He sounds both nostalgic and proud. He’s telling me about the day he discovers that his daughter is too smart for childish illusions.

“She isn’t done though.” He continues.

“The Easter Bunny?”

“Yep.”

“The Tooth Fairy?”

“Yep.”

He’s laughing a little at this point, he clearly loves his daughter, and this is an important memory, an important moment for him.

“Jesus?” she asked. Continue reading

Your Choice Is A Lie

I can’t help but marvel at the stupidity of people. There are not two parties in this country. You are not making an informed choice. The group in charge is defined by power, control and wealth. They couldn’t care less about whether you’re a democrat or a republican. They want you to fight over those political affiliations, no doubt about that. But the real goal is that you – yes, you America – elect who you’re meant to elect so you can feel a sense of control over a system that absolutely and completely controls you. They decided a long time ago that Barack Obama was going to be in office for 2 terms, because it serves their purposes. Not because of where he (or you, stupid) stand on the “issues”.

Don’t believe me? Then explain how out of hundreds if not thousands of republican politicians throughout all levels of government in this country, instead of choosing a somewhat rational, level-headed, skeleton-in-the-closet-free, well-spoken moderate republican who could engage Obama in debate and pull away some of the right-leaning democratic votes, they will choose these guys to represent them:

That’s right. First we’ve got Romney, a completely unelectable cultist. He’s a life-long member of a church that wears special underwear and doesn’t drink caffeine. This association will completely destroy him in the campaign, and the people in charge who are setting up this incredible bullshit story know it. Founded by a convicted fraud and supporting a belief system that until recently supported child-brides and involuntary polygamy and the idea that black people aren’t actual human beings, the mormons – who are a single letter away from being morons – have been either a dangerous cult or a laughing stock in the eyes of most americans since their founding almost 200 years ago. Notice how quiet everyone is being about the whole mormon thing? That’s because they’re waiting until after his party “chooses” him and it’s just him and Obama – then the gloves come off and his presidential aspirations swirl down the toilet that is Washington D.C. faster than you can say “golden tablets”.

Then we’ve got Rick Santorum. Search his name on Google and you’ve pretty much got him figured out. Take a look and listen to this article at the Huffington Post to see if this guy has a snowball’s chance in a mythical hell to be elected once the super pacs start running these gems several times a day after he’s “chosen” by the republicans.

Let us stop pretending that the political system in this country is anything more than a carefully orchestrated lie. There are only two sides, and it’s us and them. They hold the reins, have all the angles, and control the media, industry, commerce, government and every other core aspect of our society. They aren’t interested in change we can believe in any more than they are interested in family values. To quote the greatest philosopher of our time, “It’s Bullshit, Folks. It’s All bullshit, and It’s bad For Ya.”

Update – Krystal Myers Censored Article: School promotes religion and discrimination of atheist students

From Knoxville News Sentinel

Krystal Myers is a student and newspaper editor at Lenoir City High School. School officials did not allow the publication of this column in the school newspaper, as reported in Thursday’s News Sentinel.

Be strong Krystal! You are not alone!
Well, maybe you’re somewhat alone in Tennessee.
You should move.
