I'm posting this mostly for [livejournal.com profile] sdf. He just sneezed and I heard it splatter on the linoleum, so now I know that there is no God.

I think I got this from one of you a few days ago, but I don't remember who -

"Fundies Say The Darndest Things" top 100

"[On the Harry Potter books]

To suggest to any child...that there is a way to escape the unhappy, real life world they live in and to retreat into a mystical fantasy world to find happiness is totally irresponsible and deceitful.
"


and

"If you're going to get an abortion it should be mandatory to get your tubes tied.

Sex is only fun and games to male's, but you got a fucking responsibility bitch"


One interesting thing that I see a few times is people refuting that gravity is real, based on the fact that birds and airplanes "defy" gravity. Very interesting...but stupid.

Also one thing that I've heard a few people say lately - that we're all basically atheists because we all have thousands of gods that we don't believe in (Zeus, etc.) - the people called atheists simply have one more god that they don't believe in. Interesting.

I was just watching Trading Spouses before I read this and it fit perfectly.
I don't understand that level of guilt. I really don't and the complete abrogation of one's own faculties to a book written by superstitious tribes people…?

Yeah, I can't really wrap my head around religion. It seems like there would have to be too much suspension of disbelief.

Some of that rascist shit baffles me. Of all people you'd think "Love everyone" christian-types would not be like that, based on all of Jesus's teachings about loving your neighbour and all that. That's just SO foreign to me, not that it doesn't happen everywhere, but I have never heard anyone say some of those things. Ususally the rascist stuff I hear is slightly milder although just as retarded. Like, about Asians, "It's always them Orientals that can't drive" and other nonesense. Gah. It's hideous.

I like the idea we're all athesists, too. Personally I miss the Egyptian gods.

Heh, my Korean aunt always complains about Chinese drivers.

Heh! It's Vicky Pollard, she's such a li-ar.

That's too funny about your Korean aunt!

do you mind if I add you? I'll do it and then if you don't like that you can tell me to shove off.

[identity profile] sdf.livejournal.com 2006-12-03 09:31 pm (UTC)(link)
no, of course I don't mind! Although I hope you don't take my last post too seriously--I'm usually not such an offensive jerk!

[identity profile] gloriapatch.livejournal.com 2006-12-05 05:53 pm (UTC)(link)
No, no offense taken. I saw your point, I think.

The one about "the muds" blew me away. I wish people like that could be more vocal about what they're thinking so that they could be appropriately beaten.

Racism hasn't improved as much as people think. It may have improved to some extent, but a lot of the appearance of improvement is just from people keeping their mouths shut about it. Which isn't really much better.

How come I can't give you *hugs* (http://www.toxin.org/cgi-bin/gethugs.cgi)?

[identity profile] chucknoblet.livejournal.com 2006-12-03 08:25 pm (UTC)(link)
haha I should get one of those! Perhaps I will!

[identity profile] brendand.livejournal.com 2006-12-03 10:46 pm (UTC)(link)
Doesn't it belong on your userinfo page?!

[identity profile] brendand.livejournal.com 2006-12-03 10:56 pm (UTC)(link)
Good. I gave you *hugs*.

[identity profile] sdf.livejournal.com 2006-12-04 04:13 am (UTC)(link)
is there a way to give negative hugs?
