I'm the Anti-Christ. You got me in a vendetta kind of mood.

    Religion has run out of justifications. Thanks to the telescope and the microscope, it no longer offers an explanation of anything important. Where once it used to be able, by its total command of a worldview, to prevent the emergence of rivals, it can now only impede and retard—or try to turn back—the measurable advances that we have made.

    Sometimes, true, it will artfully concede them. But this is to offer itself the choice between irrelevance and obstruction, impotence or outright reaction, and, given this choice, it is programmed to select the worse of the two.

    Meanwhile, confronted with undreamed-of vistas inside our own evolving cortex, in the farthest reaches of the known universe, and in proteins and acids which constitute our nature, religion offers either annihilation in the name of god, or else the false promise that if we take a knife to our foreskins, or pray in the right direction, or ingest pieces of wafer, we shall be "saved."

I recently got that Obama cancelled Nat'l Prayer Day email too.  I've decided that instead of ignoring them, I'm going to reply to all and give everyone the truth instead.  Why go through the hassle?  Hopefully at least one of my nimrod relatives or friends who reads and believes some of this crap will actually learn something and be a little bit smarter because of it.

are christians stupider than the people of other religions?
Zero hour, Michael. It's the end of the line. I'm the firstborn. I'm sick of playing second fiddle. I'm always third in line for everything. I'm tired of finishing fourth. Being the fifth wheel. There are six things I'm mad about, and I'm taking over.

Just a little more proof that people like to pick and choose from the bible what things they will and will not "obey."



Leviticus 18:22 is the scripture du jour that seems to be really popular these days.  Between the POTUS repealing DADT and now coming out and saying he supports gay marriage, I really don't know how many times I've seen/heard people refer to this scripture to try and support their claim that being gay is a sin.  And considering that I couldn't quote a single bible scripture, I had to look up what Leviticus 19:28 is.  Pretty funny.
