The Bible
7/21/18
Yet another editing error in the Bible is responsible for ...
immeasurable agony
I guess that after God inspired the Bible, He thought to Himself:
"
You know, maybe I got that gay thing wrong.
Yeah, I don't know what I was thinkin' that day.
I'll have that goatherder switch it.
And I'll make it punishable by death."

Bad Christian arguments:
"
The Bible is not a book of fairy tales. "
So you actually believe in ...
Snakes that can talk? (Genesis 3:1)
Fiery flying serpents? (Isaiah 30:6)
People who can live inside of a fish? (Jonah 1:17)
Behemoths? (Job 40:15-24)
Cockatrices? (Isaiah 11:8, 59:5; Jeremiah 8:17)
Demons? (Luke 8:2)
Firebreathing dragons with multiple heads? (Job 41)
Dragons? (Revelation 12:7-9)
Satyrs? (Isaiah 13:21; 34:14)
Unicorns? (Numbers 23:22, 24:8; Deuteronomy 33:17; Job 39:9-10; Psalms 22:21, 29:6, 92:10; etc)
You actually believe that the sun went backwards? (Isaiah 38:8)
You actually believe that the sun froze in the sky for an entire day? (Joshua 10:13)
Argumentative donkeys? (Numbers 22:30)
You seriously believe in Zombies?
(apparently, this guy does)
Neither the fairy tales of Hans Christian Anderson nor the Brothers Grimm
could hold a candle to the fairy tales in the Bible;
not only in their absurdity, but also in their gruesomeness.

Pascal's Wager
Pascal's Wager has arguably been Christianity's most powerful weapon
against any, who would dare to doubt.
Well, maybe the second most powerful ... behind execution.
For those who do dare to doubt, it is easy to see
that there are multiple logical flaws with Pascal's Wager.
Here is another flaw that is rarely mentioned
Usually, skeptics point out that Pascal's Wager fails
because one cannot know which religion to bet one's eternal soul on.
But even if we did grant that Christianity's God is the "One True Invisible Ghost,"
one still must make a second wager, and choose correctly,
the method that is most likely to save one's soul.
And with at least 81 choices ...
the odds are with the House

Bad Christian arguments:
"
There are no contradictions in the Bible."
Here's what you do:
Quote a particularly horrifying Bible verse (they're not hard to find).
They will then provide the contradiction for you
(does it get any better than that?)
Actually it can: after they provide the contradiction, accuse them of blasphemy.
Here is a reference which list hundreds of contradictions
The picture below was recovered from the Pacific Ocean
after it was spotted dropping from the sky.
It appears as though someone in Heaven had a hidden cellphone camera,
and was lucky enough to be present when Jesus got called on the carpet
over all the contradictions in the Bible.
A note, found with the picture, stated that
The Old Man seemed particularly pissed off, over Jesus telling people:
"
Ye have heard that it hath been said,
An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth:
But I say unto you, that ...."
That's where the note ended.
It is unknown what punishment The Old Man may have given to His Son.
But we all remember what He did to Jesus ... the last time He got pissed.

Capitalizing religious pronouns (He, Him, etc.)
"
In short, when pronouns are capitalized which usually are lowercase,
this usually implies that the writer personally reveres and regards as a deity
the antecedent of that pronoun."
That's all I needed to see. From this point on,
I will treat religious pronouns as I do all other pronouns.
SO LET IT BE WRITTEN ... SO LET IT BE DONE !!!!!!!!!

Bibles being distributed to 5th graders in Oklahoma
I think the F.F.R.F. might be making a mistake on this one, and here's why:
Does anyone really believe that there is a kid to be found anywhere in America
who hasn't heard of Jesus Christ? (hint: I would go with "no" on that one)
So these kids all already know about Christianity,
and the vast majority of them - are Christians. But think about it:
What is the #1 way to free people from Ghost Worship?
That's right - make them read the Bible.
Churches do everything in their power to steer people away from the bad verses.
I say, give them the Bibles and a homework assignment:
to read as much of the Old Testament as their little minds can stomach.
Before you know it ... they'll quit handing out Bibles

Christians attack public education by diverting millions of tax dollars ...
to voucher programs
Every poll shows that Christians are losing the battle for the youth of America ... badly.
If they are to survive, they must focus most of their resources on the young.
That explains why they are desperately fighting against science and history.
They don't want to "teach the controversy"; because when they do - they lose.
So their strategy is to destroy public education and get their kids into Christian schools,
or homeschool them where they can control the curriculum.
Their only hope is to brainwash their kids while they are young,
and hide the truth from them for as long as they can.

New Hampshire won a victory over Christians
by enforcing a law which prohibits state funding of religious schools.
The key word here is "enforcing."
39 states have the law, but enforcement is difficult
because Christians constantly violate man-made laws in all states,
and especially at the national level (The Constitution).
That's why they are constantly being dragged into court.
And since they are always fighting man-made laws in court,
they are now attempting to fill the courts with Ghost Worshipers
sympathetic to their cause;
judges who will place their religious beliefs
above their sworn duty to uphold our laws.
One of the most glaring examples of this, was the odious Judge Carlos Bea
who decided the 'Pledge of Allegiance' case in California (see podcasts #161-163).
They are the least patriotic and law-abiding citizens in our nation;
and this case is simply more proof of that sad fact.

Now that Jessica Ahlquist has forced her high school
to uphold the Constitution by removing a posted prayer,
she is getting numerous death threats.
No, not from Atheists - from the followers of Jesus.
She needs police to escort her at school
because of the physical danger she is in from Christians.
However, in a Christian-dominated nation,
the media is careful not to point these things out.
Only a few news sources are brave enough to do so.
The American Taliban is alive and well ...
and it's not only found in the Bible Belt.

Christian Propaganda & Indoctrination
11/5/15
Nuns around the world keep an ancient Medieval tradition alive ...
by spending zillions of hours sitting and talking to themselves (praying)
Here are a few choice excerpts:
"
Flooding, snowstorms, a flu outbreak, even a fire —
any of those might have slowed a group of Wisconsin nuns
who say none of it has kept their order from praying nonstop
for hundreds of thousands of people over the last 137 years."
Think about that for a moment.
While fire is burning down their building,
instead of helping those people who desperatately need help fighting the fire,
or warning others, they instead, sit there talking to themselves.
But in a Country dominated by Christians with a long, bloody history,
the newspaper would be out of business if they pointed that fact out.
"
In La Crosse, the nuns estimate
they've prayed for hundreds of thousands of people,
including 150,000 in the last decade."
Congratulations on pissing your lives down the toilet.
"
The prayer sustained me in ways I haven't been able to articulate.
I felt warm and loved and cared about by strangers
and that's an incredible feeling."
That's the whole purpose of delusion ... ain't it?

Boy admits that when he was involved in a terrible car crash
that left him a quadriplegic at age 6,
he made up the story about dying and returning from Heaven.
It's been a hot Christian propaganda item for 5 years.
Many bookstores are now pulling the book.
But for all those millions of Ghost Worshipers who were tricked by a little boy
who told them what they desperately wanted to believe,
we now have an answer to the question:
Are you smarter ... than a first-grader?

Brian Williams, TV news broadcaster
The T.V. news has lost all integrity.
Each station is competing with other stations for survival.
So don't expect that truth will be very high on their priority list.
T.V. news is now nothing more than entertainment
that panders to the largest possible audience.
"The Power of Prayer"
Not long after that episode aired, Brian Williams was fired,
after it was discovered that he had fabricated news stories.
It's unfortunate for Williams that his prayers
didn't persuade "The Big Guy" to save his job.
You would think that after Williams did that great show promoting Him,
that God would at least show some gratitude
and help Williams out of a tight spot.
Guess not

American moviegoers are drawn to fantasy.
Considering the state of our economy ...
can you blame them?
First, for the kiddies:
"Frozen" has become the top-grossing animated film in history
And for the big kiddies:
Noah
This was my favorite quote:
"
It certainly feels like the film has really connected
with both mainstream moviegoers who are looking for a really sophisticated film
and those folks who really want to see a movie that honors their faith."
I have two questions about that quote:
1) Exactly which part of the Noah's Ark fairy tale is "the sophisticated part?"
2) How does it honor Christian faith to see a movie
that glorifies the murder of nearly every living thing on Earth?
That doesn't honor Christianity ... it exposes the horror of it.

The insidious cancer is spreading
(insidious: "
Producing harm in a stealthy, often gradual, manner.")
Christian dorms invade public universities
Christians are losing badly with today's youth (the leaders of tomorrow).
This is one of many stealth tactics they are currently using
in their desperate attempt to turn the tide and hang onto power.
They are attacking children in public schools with "Good News Clubs."
They know that college is murder on their faith,
so faith dorms are their latest strategy to shield their flock from the truth.
Can we have racially segregated dorms? Are most dorms sexually segregated?
(hint: go with "No" ... on both)
"
Constitution? We don't need no stinkin' Constitution."

When Ghost Worshipers first got to the moon ... what's the first thing they did?
Proselytize (3:32)
Fortunately, their preaching failed
as their religion continued to fade into oblivion over the following decades.
(Can you figure out why they stopped reciting creation verses after day 3?)
It's because on Day 1 God created light, while on Day 4 God created ... the Sun.

The Ark Encounter opened yesterday in Kentucky.
Kentucky is the state that legalized the transfer of tax money
from its citizens into the pockets of Ken Ham and his cronies.
I think Mark Twain had the best handle on Kentucky ...
“
When the end of the world comes, I want to be in Kentucky
because everything there happens 25 years after ...
it happens everywhere else.”

This is what they teach them in private Christian schools
Question 1
Student wrong - credited with correct answer.
Question 2
Student wrong - credited with correct answer.
Question 3
The Bible says nothing about dinosaurs.
Question 4
Teach children that "The Flintstones" is true.
Question 5
Since animals preceded plants by millions of years,
the answer given should have been marked "wrong, stupid"
Question 6
Student wrong - credited with correct answer.
Why was the student wrong about question #6?
Hey, I know how we can find out - let's check the Bible.
Job 40:16 "Lo now, his strength is in his loins, and his force is in the navel of his belly."
Notice the problem? Dinosaurs laid eggs ... they didn't have navels.
In response, Christians have reinterpreted the verse in newer versions
and voila! "navel" has been replaced. I am sooo surprised.
But notice which picture is missing in question #6: the leviathan.
Based on the Bible (Psalms 74:14 and Job 41:19-21),
it would look something like this:
That's right, it's a multi-headed, fire-breathing dragon ... that lives in the sea.
Now that's what I call science. I wonder why they left that picture out?
To do to children, what these sick Ghost Worshippers are doing,
should be sufficient grounds to file charges for child abuse.
BUT ...
The child actually got the last question right (example: fruit bats), so the final grade was 1 out of 7;
which, as we can see by the grade written at the top, is worth an A+ ... in the Bible Belt.
THIS JUST IN ... FOLLOW UP
Due to lack of funding ... the school has closed down
(it doesn't sound like God liked what they were teaching either)

Why do Americans still lag behind the rest of the modern world in science?
Here are statistics from 2008
showing the funding levels of major Christian organizations
devoted to destroying confidence in science in order to keep their religion alive:
Organization $Millions
Answers in Genesis 23
Institute for Creation Research 9
Discovery Institute 5
Reasons to Believe 4
Christian funding for pseudoscience 41
Same year - funding devoted to combatting religious lies:
National Center for Science Education ... 2 million.
If one were to construct a similar comparison for climate denial,
one would see the same disparity.
Christians are pouring tons of money (during a severe recession)
into convincing people to believe in their crap
and reject provable scientific fact.
Unless you want another 2,000 years of religious horror ...
you had better wake up America.
