Marriage: a Christian love story – Deuteronomy 22:28-29
22:28 If a man find a damsel that is a virgin, which is not betrothed, and lay hold on her, and lie with her, and they be found;
22:29 Then the man that lay with her shall give unto the damsel’s father fifty shekels of silver, and she shall be his wife; because he hath humbled her, he may not put her away all his days.
Isn’t that’s just breathtakingly beautiful?

Matthew 6:26 Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they?
Matthew 6:26 Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they?
Matthew 19:14 But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven.
From the picture it looks to me like the heavenly father is certainly helping a fowl of the air to get a meal. I guess the bit that says “Suffer the little children” was meant literally.
When an honest man discovers he is mistaken, he will either cease to be mistaken or cease to be honest.
Religion: the thing that makes honest people dishonest.
The power of God…
… just isn’t what it used to be.
Think about it. Just freaking think about it.
Yea… Christianity… totally makes sense. Totally.
And that’s assuming Jesus actually existed to begin with. Let me tell you, the evidence supporting that shady premise is… just a little thin.

Islam! Religion of peace! Fuck yeah! And also of sweet justice! Yeah!

Let me help you with a pertinent bit:
In Saudi Arabia an Islamic cleric who admits to raping, torturing and killing his daughter received a fine but no jail time for his heinous crime. Saudi media reports that the father paid 200,000 riyals ($50,000 US) in “blood money” for his crime, but will not be required to serve any time in prison.
And:
Hospital staff reports the child’s rectum had been torn open and the abuser had attempted to burn it closed.
Reports indicate the father had doubted his five-year old daughter’s virginity.
What harm does religion cause anyway? Yea.
And that, is pretty much that…
If you don’t know who Bertrand Russell is… then you are living a poorer life than you could be. He was a British philosopher, mathematician and historian (among others) and he was aaaaaawesome. The man was brilliant and eloquent on a level that the rest of us mere mortals can only wonder at.
A pedophile, a murderer and a thief walk out of a church…
Love. You’re doing it wrong… and if baby Jesus existed, he sure would cry.
Love? Show me it.
Totally. Like. This.
I love this cartoon, it’s so… like life. You’re raised in a good Christian home, you go to Sunday school, you get spoon fed a fantasy version of the Christian God which, quite frankly, isn’t described in the Bible. Anywhere.
Then you grow up and you read the Bible cover to cover and you come to the startling realisation that this God you were told of as a kid not only doesn’t exist but that it is, in fact, a really good thing that it doesn’t. As described in the Bible the Christian deity is a jealous, murderous, psychopathic, genocidal, baby murdering asshole and we’re all better off not having to deal with that kind of mental, especially on an omnipotent scale.
In hind sight, comparing Yahweh to Dr. Evil is perhaps a bit unfair… to Dr. Evil.
