God: Hey Jews.
Jews: Hey.
God: So listen guys, I’m thinking we go in a different direction with this whole religion.
Jews: What?
God: You know, do a non-gritty reboot. Same God taste, new God packaging. That sort of thing.
Jews: We don’t follow.
God: Okay, work with me here guys. Remember the whole ‘angry God’ thing?
Jews: Vividly.
God: Where I killed a whole bunch of you and-
Jews: Yeah.
God: And forty years in the-
Jews: We remember that.
God: Not to mention Robo-Hitler. Yikes.
Jews: Wait, what?
God: Whoops, forget I said that. “Spoiler Alert”, am I right?
Jews: …
God: Anyway, we’re going to re-work this whole “God- thing. For example, kid-friendly is big these days in religion.
Jews: So, like…? Read the rest of this entry »
I just found this on Facebook and had to share it with you:
I don’t know who the artist is, but it’s pretty obvious they understand the way indoctrination works.
Here are some other comics and images to amuse you:

And Jesus said, “WTF, Dad!? Goddammit!”
The pose of the huge statue looked like a ref calling a touchdown, hence the name.
Here is the AP story:
MONROE, Ohio — Police say a six-story-tall statue of Jesus Christ with his arms raised along a southwest Ohio highway has been struck by lightning in a thunderstorm and has burned to the ground.
The “King of Kings” statue had stood since 2004 at the evangelical Solid Rock Church along Interstate 75 in Monroe, just north of Cincinnati.
Monroe police dispatchers say the lightning strike set the statue ablaze late Monday night.
The sculpture showed Jesus from the torso up and was nicknamed Touchdown Jesus because of the way his arms were raised. It was made of plastic foam and fiberglass over a steel frame, which is all that remains.
Police Chief Mark Neu (noo) says the fire spread to an amphitheater next to the statue but was confined to the attic area. He says no one was injured.
So is this proof of a god that didn’t like the statue because it was hideous? Or is it proof there is no god at all? Nah, it’s just a hilarious coincidence, of course.

Just a few funny tidbits to entertain you. Plus the Pale Blue Dot for a bit of awesomeness. 
“There have been numerous cases where practicing christians have been obliged to obey the same laws and abide by the same rules as everybody else.” (How Barbaric!) Jesus and Mo
God! It’s like everyone I’ve ever slept with is here.
My friend Jenny is the best. The other day she sent me 3 pages of a catalog full of christian crap for kids. It’s amazingly horrible. Of course my first instinct was to share it with you. Jenny even went so far as to make notes on the pages. She’s not only a great friend, she’s funny too!
Without further ado, here you go. This is the kind of horrible stuff you can buy your poor little brainwashed kids. It’s great for parties too! Click the images for bigger sizes.
Choke down these cross mints. They come in their own little bible tin. But the top rated ones are the mints with bible verses. How special. And look, they’re fat free. We don’t want our little bible babes to be chubby!
Stones to throw at heathens and unbelievers! Some say words like “dream” and “faith” while others bear a torture symbol. Great for worried kids who are afraid of burning in hell for all eternity! Just rub that rock and you’ll be fine! Jesus Saves, after all! Read the rest of this entry »
Recently I got an email from someone who said the following:
“I think that rationality and free thinking should be promoted and religious crimes and excesses and crimes condemned. What we hear and read about the churches is absolutely disgusting. However, if have a close look at the gospels, I find it to be such a rational, incredibly intelligent sum of stories, considering the time and the audience Jesus Christ was talking to. I think he was one of the greatest rationalists ever!”
I agree with him about reason, rationality and critical thinking. I don’t agree about the bible though. It’s so full of justified hate and bad morals. I think that overrides the precious few rational or intelligent concepts that are scattered infrequently within. The few good things you can find in the bible are not original either. The Golden Rule, for example. Older than Jesus. Confucious had his own version, so did the Greeks. So there’s really no need for the bible at all!
Also, Jesus said some pretty damned hateful things in the gospels. (see below for just a few) He was forever going on about how if you didn’t follow him you’d burn in hell. That’s not very rational or loving. He also said he talked in parables just to confuse people so they would end up in hell. And he said to hate your family. If you take one message of Jesus and hold it up as a shining example for good rational thinking, you really can’t cherry-pick. You have to take all of his hateful stuff too.
Sure, maybe he said some good things (IF he existed, which I doubt), but it wasn’t anything that amazing when put in context with all the awful stuff he said, or when you think about great thinkers who said awesome things more consistently, like Carl Sagan, Thomas Jefferson, Bertrand Russell or even Ricky Gervais!
Here are a few quotes from and about Jesus that the cherry-pickers missed: Read the rest of this entry »
I found this video through my friend Tracy who found it on Pharyngula. It’s too funny not to share immediately: (0:43)
