Mr. Deity and the Psych Exam is pretty funny. Watch at least the first part of the begging section, it’s pretty funny too.

The Newsletter is funny too. I recommend it.

A Universe Not Made For Us: Carl Sagan

Neece — Tue, 06 Jul 2010 12:32:11 +0000

I found this video the other day and wanted to share it with you. It’s Carl Sagan reading from his book, Pale Blue Dot: A Vision of the Human Future in Space, from the chapter titled A Universe Not Made For Us.

I read a Terry Pratchett book recently called Reaper Man (it was great, of course). In it, he said, “In the Ramtop village where they dance the real Morris dance, for example, they believe that no one is finally dead until the ripples they cause in the world die away – until the clock he wound up winds down, until the wine she made has finished its ferment, until the crop they planted is harvested. The span of someone’s life, they say, is only the core of their actual existence.”

In that sense, Carl Sagan is still very much alive.

Porky Pig Proves That We Are Not A Christian Nation

Or you could say, more specifically, Porky Pig shows us that we were not a Christian nation back when this video was made in 1939.

“One Nation Under God, was added in 1954 during the McCarthy era. “In God We Trust” was added onto money in 1956.

Hitchens Is Right, The Creationism Debate Is Over!

Here is a clip of Christopher Hitchens in a debate with John Haldane. (~5 min)

I agree, the debate is over. Creationism has no validity. We are evolved creatures, and part of our evolution is a basic sense of morality. Not a moral absolute, of course, but even apes and dogs have been shown to have morals. We don’t need god to be good. In fact, I’d say god makes it harder to be good for the right reason, especially since the god of Abraham is so amoral.

Touchdown Jesus Struck By Lightning

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.

Here’s a video:
