Christless Christianity, what the hell?

I found an interesting link the other day about Christianity and how it is still supposedly becoming Christless. Well, I don’t know about you, but I’d have to say that it’s like saying Harry Potter books are becoming Harry Potter-less. You can’t take Christ out of Christianity just like you can’t take the protagonist out of any other work of fiction - it just ruins it and works against the organization. And here, we have people who actually believe in this shit, that this shit actually happened and that Christianity is absolutely diabolical. But there is this one guy writing a book on Christless Christianity so I am going to have to throw my two cents about “Christless Christianity” and how it’s about as contradictory as compassionate conservative. Of course, being an ex-Christian, I can see the problems with blind faith and the Judeo-Christian faith, but there are still people in the faith that believe in this bullshit. Pasted below is a quote from the author’s book, and it’s first chapter - and I will respond to three of the allegations that this man makes.

Tips for Marketing Christian Musicians

Now, I do not know why the hell I am telling Christian musicians how to do their job or how to try to con people into believing in the holy spirit when the fact of the matter is that I believe that belief in the holy spirit is the one thing that has been fucking this country up for all these years. However, I am also a personal development coach so I have decided to write a little quick guide for Christian Rock musicians who would like to know how to get the crazier of the Christian evangelicals off their backs and go back to the business of selling records. Of course, keep in mind that the truly crazy will not stop writing their spiels about how Christian rock is really the tool of the devil and everyone is going to go to hell if they hear a note of Micheal W. Smith’s music or some garbage like that. The truly crazy (a/k/a Jack Chick crazy) will continue to display their complete want for intelligence and are the same people that protest against homosexuality or abortion on the streets here in Denver. There is no talking with them, their pastors out in the middle of Pissbucket, Colorado or whatever have already brainwashed them to the point where they can just say a few words and these people will believe it to be true. Of course, you can never say THAT to anyone in public (and you might want to restrict who you say it to in private as well, cause you really don’t need it to appear in the Enquirer and the Watchtower the next day). With that in mind, let’s get on our way, shall we? Continue reading ‘Tips for Marketing Christian Musicians’

Blasphemy! The Musical

Nick Gisburne has really done it this time. He’s writing another book, and in my opinion, it’s about damn time! Blasphemy! The Musical, is a songbook with over 100 songs about religion and knowing Nick Gisburne, they are sure to rouse and offend the sensitive moronic little Christians in your neighbourhood. Therefore, it is highly advised that you purchase this book so that you can work on the common ministry to irritate and offend Christians (well, at least that’s MY ministry). And the best thing about this book is that, unlike the book the Atheists are Revolting, this book will contain all sorts of songs to memorize and use whenever necessary. Like on the bus, in the line at the supermarket, in church (lol) pretty much anywhere. Also, if you can trick an entire congregation into singing one of his songs as a hymn, you will go down in ex-Christian comedy history, much like the crazy Christian woman who mentioned something about a Holy Ghost enema.

Dear God, We Seriously Need to Talk

Dear God,

We have seriously got to sit down and discuss a few things. Like how you conned every one of your believers into thinking that this world is both perfect and the reason for all the WONDERFUL things you’ve created such as HIV, Cancer and Sudden Infant Death Syndrome is not your fault, despite the fact that you created everything, it is their fault due to their inherent brokenness because they are inherently sinful. Of course, that is a fault of the manufacturer and a blatant display of immaturity. Like a father who can’t put a jungle gym together properly and blames the kids when the damned thing breaks down. Of course, he could have seen what he did wrong, or the fact that the swings are NOT supposed to go under the slide and fixed that, but he thought it was good the way it was and continued blaming the kids, refusing medical care to them or respite from their pain despite the fact that it was his own doing. You seriously goofed the floof on this one, God. Continue reading ‘Dear God, We Seriously Need to Talk’

When Will Those Fundies Get It?

When you think that the person running the “truth truck” might be feeling a little bit more shame for their actions and see how they look in the public eye, your eye catches a news article. An article that exclaims, once again, that the Christian morons are at it again! This time, their enemy hobby horse is on Abortion and it’s an addition that they hope to place during the DNC maelstrom. This city will be at maximum capacity with those of us who aren’t going to the convention trying to find ways to conduct our business without going into the downtown corridor. And these people are looking to irritate, misinform and confuse as many people as humanly possible. This would be a big audience for them, left leaning people by the thousands who care about human rights more than a church would be seeing their message of hate and poison. You have all sorts of people who are trying to stir up trouble during the Convention and I sincerely hope that Denver Police can help keep these people in check.

New Project! Let’s Go To Church!

I know it seems a bit odd, a self-proclaimed atheist such as myself planning to visit places of worship around the Denver Metro area, but this would definitely be fun. The reasons for the tour would be to help teach Christians about atheism and hopefully help them to see that their religion is bogus. For the purposes of confidentiality, the churches I plan to attend are not going to be specified until after the day of attendance and no church will be attended more than once during the life of the project. Of course, this would assume that they would even have me back, considering the fact that I am an “evil hell-bound sinner”. The project is inspired by my visit to Faith Ministries and how well it went to prove that anyone with an opposing opinion is immediately thrown out. I plan to post the results of my mission every Monday following each visit. However, I will not attend the services of any church other than my own UU church on the first Monday of every month (reason being is I’d like to update everyone on how I’m doing overall and the “candles of community” portion of the service is a great way to do this).

Someetimes, You Have to Wonder if Christians Are on Some Sort of Drugs

Every time I talk to a Christian about their religion and why I am opposed to it (a few of the many reasons, trust me), they seem to believe that someone could possibly reject the love of “gentle Jesus” who plans to burn all those in hell who don’t believe in him. I tell them that it is because of the fact that I cannot see that a “loving god” could possibly allow people to be tortured in hell for all eternity. They then proceed to tell me that this loving god is also just. I tell them about how Jesus is willing to forgive the ’sins’ of believers, even murder and rape, but unwilling to forgive the unbelievers for the ’sin’ of non-belief. And how people like Ted Bundy can offer an honest repentance and get fast tracked to heaven but good, moral atheists will burn forever in hell just for not believing in god. Then they tell me that God is above human ways or make up some sort of bullshit that comes out to absolute nonsense. This makes me think either one of two things, either (1) Christians start taking psychotropic meds at the beginning so their minds are dulled down and cannot use reason or logic in their day to day lives, (2) Christians are bred genetically stupid from the cradle and will believe any sort of garbage you tell them or (3) that Christians are on some sort of drugs. I think it’s number 3 because of the fact that Religion is a drug. Continue reading ‘Someetimes, You Have to Wonder if Christians Are on Some Sort of Drugs’

It’s Just a Cracker, Get Over Yourselves!

Today, I was reading a story that was linked from the American Atheists website and it was the story of a man (Webster Cook) who took a supposedly “blessed” cracker (a Eucharist as it is known) out of a catholic church. He removed the cracker so that he could help teach a friend of his about Catholicism but the people of the faith were not buying the truth, as usual. People got all up in a tizzy, giving him hateful phone calls, calling for his death and saying that he committed a hate crime against their religion. He finally returned the cracker to the church and he is asking for the death threats and all sorts of other threatening e-mails to stop. Yes, I kid you not, all this over a cracker. In fact, the local diocese referred to this as a hate crime as well, which is blatantly absurd because of a few simple facts: Continue reading ‘It’s Just a Cracker, Get Over Yourselves!’

Praise for the Littlest Atheist!

I would like to tell you about an awesome webcomic that I found only a few short months ago. At Freethunk.net, where there is already a host of irreligious webcomics and other fun stuff to play around with, as well as factual news about the laughable marketing to these gullible sheep. But I also found another fun little treat over at Freethunk, a webcomic called ‘The Littlest Atheist‘. Not to create any spoilers or anything, but the basis of the story is that the Littlest Atheist, Bertrand, is now being forced to go to church by his mother who recently suffered the death of both her husband and Bertrand’s father. While Bertrand has been able to keep his wits about him, continue to keep his sense of humour in check and keep is ability to decipher the Christian bullshit for what it really is, his mother has fallen into the church. In the second strip, she admits that her husband was not really interested in raising him as a Christian and instead, raised him as an atheist. Fortunately, he did this so well that he was able to resist the Borg-like mentality of the Christians he goes to church with, so far. Continue reading ‘Praise for the Littlest Atheist!’

Kentucky Government, Stop Allowing the Violation of Separation of Church and State

When I was browsing the hate mail section of NormalBobSmith.com, I found a letter that was sent to Bob from a girl who lives in a Kentucky. Unfortunate, I know, but that is not the bad part about this issue. The issue is that she was convicted of a charge that had to do with drugs and it turns out that she was given a sentence which would require her to be subjected to religious nonsense or have a warrant issued for her arrest. This was clearly made compulsory and this attitude of disrespect towards another persons’ choice not to become one of the sheep and fall in line at the church. This sentence was ironically issued by the Attorney General of the county, someone that should know all too well that actions like this are not only morally reprehensible but also a violation of this person’s civil rights and liberties.
