DAVE SILVERMAN ROCKS!

Not surprisingly, 18-year-old LDS (Mormon) boys know far, far less about even their own version of Christianity than Mr. Silverman does.

FAITH & IMAGINARY FRIENDS

A friend of mine is very LDS, but he admits it does not matter in the least if everything about it is proven false--good thing, too, because it could all be proven false and completely made up and stolen from other fictional sources in a court of law.

I find this lack of needing evidence disturbing, for why live a lie just to perpetuate a sense of delusional peacefulness? This is like believing you will get a windfall and spending all of your time shopping yourself into debt (i.e. living in denial). *sigh* Sadly, people were interviewed as to why issues like Global Warming and credit-card debt were irrelevant to them, and they quoted Revelations saying God would be back soon, so why worry? *facepalm*

But that's all what faith is: believing in something that makes no rational sense whatsoever and denying any proof that stares you square in the face due to faith bringing warm fuzzies. In other words, their imaginary friend brings them soft slippers and hot cocoa when they're stressed--at least if they buy said slippers, cocoa, cooking apparatus, and electricity, and if they fetch and heat these things themselves.

Aren't imaginary friends uber-useful?? I mean, heck, they do things for you if you do them yourself! Just like a four-year-old and a teddy-bear tea party!

EASTER CAN GET OBNOXIOUS

Okay, it's been just about an eternity since I've posted. I got out of my angry atheist phase for a bit and didn't need to rant quite so loudly...but then Easter happened. *heavy sigh* People just don't realize that they are celebrating pagan rituals of nature's rebirth and a holiday the Romans decided should take over that pagan holiday (much like Christmas did for Yule). It's all so "opiate of the masses."

I mean, sure, there's not a lot of HARM in it, per se, but I wish people would realize Christ and the Easter Bunny are both just random crap people thought up. While people will admit one is just a fun gimmick for kids, so few will agree that the latter is just propaganda to keep adults similarly in line.

HAPPY ZOMBIE JESUS DAY!

My friend posted this telling me to stay indoors and eat fancily decorated chicken abortions instead of going out and congregating where the celebrated zombie Jesus might get me and eat my brain. She's a riot, and religion DOES seem to be for the brainless, so maybe it's too late for all of those churchgoing folks: Jesus already ate their brains. :-)
