Catholic Insanity

Monday, March 7th, 2011

Just when you think you’ve heard it all, that no other statement of religious “devotion” could floor you – the religious loons surprise you once again.

Daylight Atheism has an article titled, The Catholic Church Answers Your Sex Questions.  It’s brief, but worth the time to gain a further insight into the unbelievable insanity of Catholic Christianity in action.

The author’s conclusion is spot on.  “The Pascal’s Wager logic, which so often assumes that joining a religion is cost-free, hides the fine print: you will end up paying a price, and it may be a lot higher than you think. How can anyone be truly happy in the mental slavery of a religion that layers on the guilt and threats for breaking such absurd laws? And wouldn’t people like this be much happier if they abandoned these superstitious beliefs and instead adopted a rational, humanist alternative sexual ethics?”

Creationist Stupidity

Saturday, October 23rd, 2010

Though it is often difficult to decide who wins the Moron of the Year Award, this year we have a strong contender in Ken Ham at Answers in Genesis – a creationist Web site. The exact Web page in question is here.

The question asked of Mr. Ham is simple enough.  “If God created the world 6,000 years ago or so, why are stars millions of light years away?”

The answer, according to Mr. Ham: “Brendon, what a question! Yes, we know from the dates God gives us in the Bible that He did create the whole universe about 6,000 years ago. When we hear the term light-year, we need to realize it is not a measure of time but a measure of distance, telling us how far away something is. Distant stars and galaxies might be millions of light-years away, but that doesn’t mean that it took millions of years for the light to get here, it just means it is really far away!”

Ladies and gentlemen, this is the kind of answer you get from people who have never taken a class in physics, but instead base their view of reality on an anonymous book, written by a bunch of Bronze Age sheep herders.  In short, you get profound idiocy.

Mr. Ham is correct, in that a  light year is a measure of distance.  It is the measure of how far light travels in one year!  Hence the name.  So, if a star is say, 20 million lights years away, it will take 20 million years for the light from that star to reach us.

More Utah Mixed Nuts

Tuesday, April 6th, 2010

Looks like Dell “SuperDell” Schanze isn’t the only loose religious nutcase in Utah.  Paul Drockton also appears to have fallen off the deep end of righteous insanity.

Apparently, he’s been raving on about the Illuminati in Utah for some time.  He had been mentioned to me by an acquaintance once before, but it wasn’t until I stumbled upon his recent two articles on his web site, that I learned how deep the delusion runs.

First he predicts, through a vision he personally received from God nonetheless, that there will be a massive spiritual calamity coupled with a giant earthquake in Utah.  Pedophiles running amok, rampant crime in the streets, dogs and cats living together – you know the drill.

Then he claims that Utah’s “Earthquake Awareness” week is a direct reaction to his predictions.  Certainly the fact that Utah is deep in American earthquake territory, with a major fault running through the Salt Lake valley (where 90% of Utah’s population resides) has absolutely nothing to do with it…

If you want a couple minutes of hysterical laughter, have a look.  I warn you, however, the crazy burns your mind just a little.

Holy Shit!

Too stupid for words!

Putting Faith in its Place

Monday, October 5th, 2009

This is one of the most succinct explanations of the logic fallacies inherent to faith that I've ever run across.

Bravo to QualiaSoup (aka Doug) who put this together! Be sure to check out his other fantastic videos on the QualiaSoup YouTube Channel.

God is Afraid of Billboards

Saturday, November 15th, 2008

Those pesky atheists are at it again in Colorado.

COCORE, a Colorado atheist groups is paying for several billboards to be put up around Denver and one in Colorado Springs this year, simply showing a blue sky with a few fluffy clouds, with the caption, “Don’t believe in God? You are not alone,” with a link to their website at the bottom.

Apparently, this has offended several of the Bible banging lunatics in Colorado, including Bob Enyart, a Christian radio host. What genius does Bob have to offer?

“The Bible says that faith is the evidence of things not seen. Evidence. If we ignore the evidence for gravity or the Creator, that’s really dangerous. Income tax doesn’t not exist because somebody doesn’t believe in it. And the same is true with our Creator.”

With such a careful, logical, grammatically profound statement such as this, who wouldn’t believe? Oh, and Bob, that was sarcasm. This is about the most ludicrous, thought bereft statement I’ve heard in some time. Unfounded personal belief, claiming superstitious nonsense, is not evidence of anything but a delusional mind.

I don’t think that I could tally the number of religious billboards I’ve seen in my life. You can’t go five miles in the Bible Belt without seeing one. Furthermore, how can the statement being made on this billboard be considered offensive? If it said “Do you believe in God? You are not alone,” these same Buy-bull pundits would be scrambling all over themselves, gloating over their inspiring, faith filled message.

It seems that above all else, the hypocrisy of religion reigns supreme.
