the random musings not worthy of new thread thread

Did fox make "When Cars Attack" or was that ABC?

[Cerevant]

A healthy take on Christianity and religion in general. And only several centuries late.

God and religion still aren't for me, but this type of attitude would make religion and the religious far less repugnant to the people who can't stand them.

Well said.  It sounds like this guy has managed to put down on paper the reasons my wife and I don't go to church.  The self-righteous, ritualistic, and obnoxious way most people practice Christianity is extremely divisive.

farging brilliant - maybe he should have looked up Unitarian Universalism.  I guess you don't sell as many books if you give other people credit for their ideas.

I was most amused by a recent
UU marketing campaign, "Is god keeping you from going to church?"

I took part in a wedding where the pastor was a Unitarian. The proceedings were so much better than a catholic wedding ceremony that I almost came.

I was high as a kite when I got hitched.  I had an abscessed tooth and I was loaded on Percodan at the time.

Good times.

every time I go to church, which is only on Christmas or Easter, I always find myself looking up at the alter, the pictured stained glass ceiling and the stations of the cross being like, "what the farg is this and what the hell is dude talking about up there?"

I went to Catholic school for 12 years

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

This is where Austin Scott went to high school

Anyway, back to TV. 23 million people watched Moment of Truth last night. I assume Easy was one of them. It's pretty much the trashiest, lowest-common-denominator show Fox has ever put out. And that's really saying something. This country is full of farging morons.

I watched a little bit of Are You Smarter Than A 5th Grader? for the first time last night and I guess that just because I hadn't watched it before I never really thought about it, but it finally occured to me that the reason that show is a success is because Americans really are that farging dumb that the question really does need to be asked.  Are you smarter than a 5th grader?  

The fact that you can win money by answering elementary school level questions should be insulting to most people.  But it's not because they're too farging stupid.  

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

That show is mildly amusing, but ultimately maybe a maximum of 10 questions get asked in a half hour show.  Boring.

Jeopardy is king.

Weird. I watched it last night for the first time too. I didn't know who the first american astronaught to orbit the planet was. Other than that I knew all of the answers. Space is stupid.

[reese125]

Space is stupid.

so you dont think we should spend $12 billion over the next 5 years on space exploration?

I'm shocked at you

[rjs246]

Zombies don't attack from space. So no, I would not spend money on space exploration.

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

Great.  You just showed them how your administration would be vulnerable to their attack.

[rjs246]

You're right. Partially. If the Chinese manage to round some Zombies up and load them into a space craft, and then have the zombie space ship land on US soil then we could be farged. However, this just means we need to improve our space lasers, not focus on space exlporation.

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

Ruling out the possibility of zombies inhabiting and invading from neighboring galaxies demonstrates the short-sightedness of your policy.

[rjs246]

Clearly, you are ingorant about zombies. By definition they cannot think and therefore cannot build space ships or plan an invasion. If there is some sort of space-monster that happens to be undead, floating through space and happens to run into earth, well then the lasers will take care of it.

Count it.
