BS proof of God's existence
Argument From Monty Python
1. Graham Chapman appeared in a film that made fun of Jesus.
2. Graham Chapman died of a horrible, incurable disease.
3. Therefore, God exists.
3a. And has no sense of humor.
Consider this
Philosophy is questions that may never be answered. Religion is answers that may never be questioned.


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.

Apocalyptic signs: Earthquakes     13 May 2008
I wasn't even going to touch this, given that only yesterday an earthquake killed thousands of people in China. But you know what? Seeing people crying on the TV news as they brought out the dead, and then realising that some bastard God-loving motherfucker somewhere will be gleefully proclaiming that this is yet another sign of the end of the world, gets me seriously wishing they would put all the Jehovah's Witnesses in an earthquake zone and wait for their so-called God to bury them in rubble. They're not getting out of this one lightly, no way.

No, I'm not going to list the whole passage from the leaflet this time, because it's just a sick list of death tolls from earthquakes, as if the fuckers are gloating at the sheer numbers of human lives ended by being in the wrong place at the wrong time, where the earthquakes hit. They want you to know that 'about ten times as many have died each year from earthquakes since 1914 as in previous centuries'. They want you to know because they get off on it somehow, in their twisted little minds, as they imagine that their fucked-up invisible sky God is getting ready to wipe out the rest of us too. They would just love that. It's what they live for, isn't it?

You know how the paragraph ends? After the list of the death tolls, the last sentence is this:

Surely, "great earthquakes"!
Right now, with the TV images still fresh in my mind of real people, real lives, all of them ended prematurely, the bodies being pulled out of collapsed buildings, some of them schools, and carried away on stretchers, those three words 'surely, great earthquakes!' seem like the Jehovah's Witnesses are laughing in the faces of those who died and those who are left to grieve. The exclamation mark even seems to be put there purely to add an air of perverse celebration. To them, yesterday's earthquake will be just another statistic, just another line to add to their magical 'chart of proof' or whatever it is they put together to justify their obscene obsession with natural disasters and death statistics. They don't really care that people are dead and dying. This isn't about real people to them, it's all about the 'signs' that the world is ending. This is one more sign, and you can bet they are thanking God for it.

I hate the Jehovah's Witnesses. I've always hated them. Now I'm beginning to wonder just how much stronger that hatred for these despicable vultures can go. They'd just better not show up at my door any time soon.
