BS proof of God's existence
Argument From Fear
1. If there is no God then we're all going to not exist after we die.
2. I'm afraid of that.
3. Therefore, God exists.
Consider this
Just because Intelligent Design theorists cannot think of how nature could have created something through evolution, that does not mean that scientists will not be able to do so either. Intelligent Design is a remarkably uncreative theory that abandons the search for understanding at the very point where it is most needed. If Intelligent Design is really a science, then the burden is on its scientists to discover the mechanisms used by the Intelligent Designer. And if those mechanisms turn out to be natural forces, then no supernatural force is necessary, and they can simply change their name to evolutionary scientists and get to work.

Atheist on the Blog Taking a Break
The more I look at religion, the more I dislike it and what it does to the world and its people. This blog will help you understand why religion is something you shouldn't accept as a good thing in our lives. Above all, don't respect religious beliefs when their practitioners refuse to respect you.

I only used it because it seemed to fit in with the story, and because there is at least one church sign generator around I assumed that that was how it had been created.

Wrong. Or rather, 'the truth is out there'... and it's bizarre. Because if you click this link you'll find that there are real churches who have what is known as 'Clown Led Worship'.

Look at the page and you'll find information about a 'Clown Eucharist Discovery Class'. What the FUCK are these people smoking? But is it just a parody or is it for real? Oh it's real, alright. As real as this:


And that's WAY too real (shudder). The overall impression I got of the service was: it looks like a lunatic asylum. But with extra crazy. And a large dose of scary. You can watch the whole service using the web site link above, but proceed with caution if you want to stay sane. Christianity + clowns + mime = mind fuck. Don't go there.

I had wanted to make my original article into a video anyway, and seeing all that church clown garbage seemed to spur me on to do it, if only to erase the mad crazy Jesus clowns from my brain. So here it is...
