Why God Wrote a Book

The Bible explains that God created the world in six days, and on the seventh day he rested (although it never explained why an all powerful being would need to "rest" ).

On the eighth day, God decided to write a book about it all. 

And on the ninth, he decided to create 6000 vastly different languages,  of which only 200 are actually written languages, the many of which have wildly varied grammatical structures and words that are without synonymous equal,  and vested his sacred church - a church that has just as hard a time ferreting out child molesters among its ranks as the public school system -  with being able to make sure everyone gets it right, forever!

And on the tenth day, God said, " There! Now they shouldn't have any problem understanding that."

Then Jesus asked, "But what if they do?"

To which God replied, "Then I suppose I will cast them into a lake of fire for all eternity for being so stupid, unless they grovel and thank me so much for not doing so before hand, that I decide to bring them to heaven, where they can continue to do the same thing for all eternity." 

And then God grinned as He leaned over toward Jesus - who was just a boy at the time and sitting on the floor at the left hand of his father - and said:

"That is, unless you want to take their place."

Why Christianity is More Unnatural Than Homosexuality

I grew up in a family that is about as homophobic as Phil Robertson and the Westboro Baptists, only they're not quite as boisterous about it; at least not in public anyway. They have also conveniently convinced themselves  that their homophobia is really just their unique Christian ability to "hate the sin, but love the sinner" (even though these very same Christians adamantly refuse to accept that people can "hate Christianity, but love the Christian").  The sexual superiority complex necessarily relied on by such Christians is, of course, blanketed beneath the lambs wool of the Christian humility of serving "God." They interpret their fear of those who are different, in other words, as simply proof of their intimate knowledge and love of God. And the only thing such Christians are more sure about than that their own personal version of "God" exists, is that such a "God" would never want people to be homosexual - no matter how ma...

Why Are Republicans Pro Life?

Most people don't realize that the Supreme Court has been in the hands of the Republican party since at least 1970! In fact, even in the landmark case of Roe v Wade that legalized abortion, SCOTUS was inhabited by 6 Republicans and 3 Democrats, and the vote was 7 to 2. One of the reasons is that the Republican Party has absolutely ZERO desire to win on the abortion issue. And that's because abortion gives the GOP a clear focal point with potentially unlimited organizing power. And it's an even simpler message to sell than religion, since we are "pro-life." (if that was true, however, they wouldn't be actively trying to repeal healthcare for up to 30 million Americans, nor would they be so pro-gun, pro-war, pro-death penalty, pro welfare cuts, pro- social security cuts, pro- drone strikes, etc). The Republican party officially became "pro-life" in 1976, thanks to Jesse Helms (R-NC). The only reason no serious challenge was brought within the pa...
