Atheist Billboard Defaced
June 28, 2010 by Brandon | 3 Comments
We’re fast approaching the end of the month and I haven’t had any posts yet for June. Since the opening of this site, I’ve at least managed to have one post every month, so now is as good a time as any to put something up to continue that.
Today’s story comes from North Carolina, where a group called the Charlotte Atheists & Agnostics recently placed a billboard on Billy Graham Parkway. The billboard, which can be seen here, states, “One Nation, Indivisible,” which is fairly innocent. If I would pass it on the highway myself, I wouldn’t have given it a second thought, that is if I didn’t notice the web address in the bottom corner.
Of course, something is missing from the phrase, something added during the Cold War… Luckily, some people were kind enough to add the missing words via a can of spray paint. “Under God.”
Things like this always make me wonder how insecure religious people think their god is. Is the Christian god that egotistical that he needs his minions to vandalize a billboard? A billboard which didn’t even say anything negative about him, to boot. If I were the timeless creator of all things, I think I might let the small things such as that slide. But that’s just me.
Things like this remind me of something Ghandi said. “I like your Christ, I do not like your Christians. Your Christians are so unlike your Christ.” Except I’d probably disagree with him on liking Christ, too. Let’s face it, the guy gave some really bad advice.

More Famous Than Jesus
April 14, 2010 by Brandon | Leave a Comment
Because the Vatican has nothing else of any importance to work on, they’ve decided to forgive The Beatles for their past transgressions, most notably Lennon’s 1966 comment about the band being bigger than Jesus, causing the church to brand them as being satanic. How kind of them.
At least one of The Beatles couldn’t care less, as Ringo Starr told CNN. Like myself, he thinks that the church has more important issues to deal with than forgiving a band for some comments made over 40 years ago.
It seems to me that in the wake of their massive abuse scandal, they’re attempting create some news worthy stories to divert attention away from the fact that the Pope is at the head of numerous abuse cover-ups perpetrated by the church.
If this keeps up though, I think I’m going to have to dedicate a whole category to the Catholics.

Catholic Backlash Leads To Vandalism
April 14, 2010 by Brandon | 5 Comments
There seems to be a growing backlash against the Catholic Church, and more specifically, Pope Benedict, as their pedophile sex-abuse scandal continues to wither the public’s faith in them.
Yesterday, Pope Benedict’s birthplace in Marktl am Inn, was vandalized with spray painted obscenities referring to the scandal. The building was recently converted into a museum to honor the Pope. Authorities have since painted over the text, and unfortunately I’ve been unable to find exactly what was written.
Now obviously I have no idea if this was done by a Catholic, and odds are it wasn’t, but I think it’s a perfect demonstration of what I’ve been saying; the Catholic church needs to admit to their wrong doing, launch an investigation with full cooperation with the authorities, and Ratsinger needs to, at the very least, step down as Pope. There is no other way that the Church is going to gain forgiveness in the public’s eye over this.
It’s extremely unlikely that any of these things will occur, because the Church is in far too deep at this point. Instead, they’ll just keep blaming who ever or whatever they can, from the devil and Jews, to the media and homosexuals. Next thing you know, they’ll be blaming Obama.

Everybody Loves Blaming The Jews!
April 13, 2010 by Brandon | 1 Comment
The Catholic Church is on a roll; the other week, it was some esteemed Catholic exorcist blaming the Church’s pedophilia woes on Satan himself, but as we all know, there is only one thing more evil than Satan…
Wait for it…
Yes, the wily Jew is to blame. I mean, they’re so bad that they’re literally grabbing priests by the hands and forcing them to rub the private areas of children, all the while cackling nasally with glee.
At least, that’s what Bishop Giacomo Babini would like you to believe. In an interview that is too psychotic to make up, the retired bishop charges the “eternal enemies of Catholicism,” the Jews and the Freemasons, for concocting this hysteria over the Church’s “alleged” abuses. But mostly it’s those pesky Zionists. The good bishops says, “deep down, historically speaking, the Jews are God-killers.” God-killers indeed. That’s why I absolutely love the Jews. They do my work for me.
But Babini didn’t stop there, he also concluded that the Jews brought the Holocaust upon themselves, stating, “Don’t believe that Hitler was merely crazy. The truth is that the Nazis’ criminal fury was provoked by the Jews’ economic embezzlement, by which they choked the German economy. [Their] guilt is graver than what Christ predicted would happen to them, saying ‘do not cry for me, but for your own children.’”
I’m really enjoying watching this. Every day, a new article comes out with some new allegation, some zany denial of the allegations, or what have you. The Church just doesn’t get it, and I know they’re in trouble when I heard one particular person state that even they will no longer make any attempt to defend the Church from criticisms.
You know who you are. Welcome to the Dark Side. I baked cookies.
In other news, you may have noticed the new Retweet button on the blog, placed in an effort to utilize Twitter to gain more readers. If it annoys you, too bad, so sad.

The Church Is Trolling Us
April 2, 2010 by Brandon | 2 Comments
Blame it all on Satan. That’s what the Catholic church is apparently doing. After the media’s frenzy of attacks on the Vatican and the pope, a “noted” exorcist in Italy came out and said that all of this is the devil’s doing; specifically, the Prince of Darkness is apparently using the New York Times as his mouth piece to comdemn the church’s pedophilia.
Wait, what? Is this idoit serious? No, he can’t be. This guy has to be a troll. I mean, what priest would honestly state that the condemnation of pedophilia and those who cover up pedophilia is evil?
Apparently this guy also thinks that stating that priests are just men and can get tempted by the devil to diddle the kiddles makes everything ok. No, it doesn’t. Here’s some advice, Church. You lost this one. Face it. Ratsinger? Step down. You’re already a disgrace and if you really care about protecting your Church’s image, that’s what you’ll do. Give all information regarding the pedo-priests you’ve protected over to the appropriate authorities for investigation. Then, and only then, will you actually gain some kind of redemption in the public’s eye.

What is Fractal Wrongness?
The state of being wrong at every conceivable scale of resolution. That is, from a distance, a fractally wrong person's worldview is incorrect; and furthermore, if you zoom in on any small part of that person's worldview, that part is just as wrong as the whole worldview.
