Einstein on Religion: Childish Superstitions

Categories: Dumbass Religions, Religious Wingnuts, editorials.

Considered by many as the most brilliant scientist of the 20th century, Albert Einstein was notorious for his ability to see what is essential and disregard the meaningless. Thus it comes to as no surprise to rational people that he held all religions in very low esteem.

A letter written by Einstein will be auctioned off this week, it is a letter which reveals the contempt Einstein felt toward religious delusions.

“The word god is for me nothing more than the expression and product of human weaknesses, the Bible a collection of honourable, but still primitive legends which are nevertheless pretty childish. No interpretation no matter how subtle can (for me) change this.”

Religion has always been of the stupid, by the stupid, and for the stupid. Survey after survey has demonstrated a clear correlation between advanced education and freedom from religious delusions.

It makes sense that people who are not stupid would do better in the educational system, and they would therefore be represented in greater numbers among persons with advanced degrees. Stupid people, having less ability to differentiate between superstition and fact, are less likely to recognize and rid themselves of false ideas learned by naive children.

So be careful about the lies you tell to your children involving invisible fairies that live in the sky. It is possible that they may never learn that there is no Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny is really a person, and there are no invisible fairies up above the clouds.

And for the Fundamentalists who try to claim that the smartest man they ever heard of was suffering from religious delusions like theirs, this letter represents epic failure.

Of course they could always pray that their Imaginary Bearded Sky Daddy will use his magical ink re-arrangement powers to rewrite Einstein’s letter so that it conforms to their favorite fantasies.

UK Cardinal: Atheism is Product of Distorted Christianity

You can always tell when a religious leader is saying something stupid, just watch their lips to see if they are moving. The UK Regional Profit Manager for the Holy Roman Altar Boy Church, Cardinal Cormac Murphy O’Connor (shown in his best Sunday go to Meeting Dress) has suggested that “modern atheism” is a product of a distorted kind of Christianity.” Apparently the Cardinal believes that without Christianity there could be no atheism.

Maybe he means the distorted kind of Christianity in which people that publicly criticize the world’s wealthiest pedophile ring are not burnt at the stake. The Cardinal may be longing for the good old days, hundreds of years ago, when the religious options included Catholicism or death.

Atheism, beyond any shadow of a doubt, is the natural state of all living things.

The word atheism combines the prefix ‘a’, meaning without, with the word theism, meaning a delusional belief in one or more Imaginary Bearded Sky Daddy(ies). If you made a nearly infinitely large chart, and you listed all of the gods that have ever been imagined by a human being on the left side, and all of the gods that a newborn baby believes in on the right side, the chart would be empty on the right side. A newborn baby is without any delusional belief in invisible fairies, therefore all babies are born as atheists.

Let us now compare what Cardinal O’Connor calls “modern atheism” with, say, the atheism of a newborn human baby born 27,521 years ago.

The modern atheist does not believe in any Imaginary Bearded Sky Daddy. The newborn baby 27,521 years ago also did not believe in any Imaginary Bearded Sky Daddy. So far there does not seem to be any difference.

It must be very lonely running the regional profit center for the Church in modern day Britain. The British people are not constantly awash in idiotic Fundamentalist drivel like some other nations. The average man in the street in the UK today has no interest in anything to do with Christianity. Brits really are good at recognizing bullshit when it is being shoveled.

There is one consistent note to every attempt by Christians to denigrate atheism, they must always begin by misrepresenting the definition of the term. Cardinal O’Connor, commenting on Richard Dawkins:

“The interesting question about atheism is what is the theism being denied? Have you ever met anyone who believes what Richard Dawkins does not believe in? The God that is being rejected by such people is a God I don’t believe in either.”

Here is the interesting answer, the theism that atheists do not believe includes all delusions about all imaginary deities no matter who is being delusional or what they have to say about their delusion. For each and every Imaginary Bearded Sky Daddy, all atheists everywhere throughout all time do not believe in that delusion. Modern atheists and ancient atheists do not believe in exactly the same number of Imaginary Bearded Sky Daddies - all of them.

So Cardinal O’Connor, whatever color you may think your invisible super pal’s beard may be, we do not believe that it exists.

A person that does not believe in any God at all, even the ones that have not been imagined yet, is an atheist.

A person that only disbelieves in a subset of invisible super pals, but who does believe in one or more Special Friend(s) is not an atheist.

No belief in any God = atheism. Belief in more than zero God(s) = theism. We hope this is clear enough that even a professional Catholic can understand it.

After 49 Years All Powerful Deity Can Only Get Castro to Resign?

Posted on February 23rd, 2008 by Fagnit.
Categories: Dumbass Religions, Faith-Based Invasions, editorials.

For many, many years people who are afflicted with religious delusions have prayed to an imaginary super-pal for an end to the Fidel Castro regime in Cuba. Now Castro has announced his retirement. The question we have is, if the most powerful Imaginary Bearded Sky Daddy in all of make believe land wanted Castro to be out of office, why did it take so long?

During the infamous Bay of Pigs invasion of Cuba there were lots and lots of Catholics praying for a successful killing, in His mercy of course. Deadly death did they pray for, but Castro survived that dismal failure.

Surely the big butch all powerful super duper big in the sky guy can handle one overweight elderly dictator in very poor health? But despite all of the pious prayers of the faithful communist haters, the worst harm that has befallen Castro is colon surgery? Hell, I’ve had colon surgery, and hardly anybody prays for my death, as far as I know. Not that I would mind, of course, because if there is one thing that the human race is very quickly learning and plugging in to their mindset it is that Nothing Fails Like Prayer.

Federal Budget For Killing, Not Medical Care for Children

Posted on October 4th, 2007 by Ungodly.

Our Glorious Christian Leader has bolstered his image as a War President by using his veto power to defeat a bill passed by Congress that would have extended a medical care program (SCHIP) for children. It is better to drop bombs on foreign children than provide medical care for our own children, or so it would seem.

No doubt Our Glorious Christian Leader was inspired by a famous quote from his Imaginary Bearded Sky Daddy, or Imaginary Son of Imaginary Sky Daddy to be more precise, “Suffer the little cluster bombs to come unto me, for theirs is the Kingdom of Republican war profits”. I think that is how it goes. Compassionate conservative my ass.

Besides, these damn poor kids are too young to be sent overseas time and time again, and then treated like dirt when they come home wounded. By the time they are old enough to be used as cannon fodder, Our Glorious Christian Leader will be back home in Crawford counting his war profit dollars.

Our Glorious Christian Leader is willing to spend ten billion dollars a month to protect exclusive oil rights for the billionaire that is building his Presidential Library, but medical care for our own children is just too big of a burden, since it does not help his war profiteering Fundamentalist Christian cronies. How could anything be more disgusting than Our Glorious Christian Leader?

Humans Unite Against Rush Limblob

Posted on October 2nd, 2007 by Ungodly.
Categories: Comedy, Faith-Based Invasions, editorials.

A coalition of human beings is presenting a united front against the right wing hatemongering liar and uber idiot Rush Limblob in reaction to his recent shameless attack on US veterans exercising the freedom of speech they have defended.

Limblob attacked a caller to his moronic talk radio program when the gentleman suggested many Iraq war veterans were opposed to the continuing futile imperialist adventure.

The closest Limblob has ever been to a war was the war on drugs, and he was on the wrong side then just like he is now.

But now real soldiers who have really been to Iraq and really seen the horrors brought on by the Bush/Vader war machine are speaking out, so Limblob calls them fake soldiers.

Shup up, Limblob, and listen to the human beings for a change.

RC Archbishop Claims European Condoms are Laced with HIV

The Holy Roman Child Rape Church Bishop of Mozambique has claimed that condoms shipped to Africa from European nations have been intentionally laced with the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) in a racist plot to kill Africans.

Archbishop Francisco Chimoio, a direct report employee of Nazi Ratzi, repeated this death-promoting lie directly to a Reuters reporter. If this intentional deceit by a mother fucking robber baron is not a crime against humanity, I’d like to know how it is not.

By using condoms, persons having sex greatly reduce the risk of transmitting HIV, the virus that even the Catholic Church admits causes AIDS. When a mother fucking son of a bitch like this lying toe rag tells this kind of a carefully calculated malicious lie people that are misguided enough to listen to this scumbag increase the risk that they and the people they love will die.

We have a message for Archbishop Francisco Chimoio, Up against the wall, motherfucker.

Fundamentalism: Public Enemy Number One

Posted on September 11th, 2007 by Fagnit.
Categories: Dumbass Religions, Faith Based Bigotry, Religious Wingnuts, editorials, hypocrite evangelists.

Six years ago today the world was handed a fresh reminder of the evil that results from the kind of fanatical religious beliefs called Fundamentalism. Although it was Islamic Fundamentalists that used their hatred and intolerance to justify the horrors of September 11, only a few hours passed before Christian Fundamentalists began to cash in on the horror of that day and use it to promote their agenda of intolerance and social injustice.

Pond scum like Pat Robertson and the still-dead Jerry Falwell hastened to blame the proponents of civil rights for women and gay people for the horrors that were actually perpetrated by their cousins that spread hatred in mosques instead of churches. They used this tragedy to increase their cash flow and bolster the idiocy of the fools that follow them because they fail to see the villainy that is always part and parcel of fundamentalist religious dogma.

According to Wiktionary, fundamentalism in the theological context is

A conservative movement in theology among 19th century and 12th century Christians, in reaction to modernism and that stresses the infallibility of the Bible not only in matters of faith and morals but also as a literal historical record, holding as essential to Christian faith belief in such doctrines as the creation of the world, the virgin birth, physical resurrection, atonement by the sacrificial death of Christ, and the Second Coming.

Fundamentalist Islamists hate Christians because their brand of stupidity is the One True Religion and no other should be tolerated, while Fundamentalist Christians hate Muslims because their brand of stupidity is the One True Religion and no other should be tolerated.

The lesson that should be learned from 9/11 is very clear and easy to understand. As a species, if we wish to survive, it is long past the time when we should all join together and “Just say NO to Imaginary Bearded Sky Daddies”.

Have you ridiculed a religion yet today?

Failed Would-Be Lawyer Drops Lawsuit Over Bar Exam

Posted on September 8th, 2007 by Fagnit.
Categories: Comedy, Court Cases, Dumbass Religions, Faith Based Bigotry, Homophobia, Religious Wingnuts, editorials.

A Massachusetts man afflicted with a severe case of Catholicism has dropped his blatantly idiotic lawsuit over the bar exam he failed for refusing to answer a question about gay marriage law because he is a stupid homophobic wanker.

Stephen Dunne bravely refused to answer an evil Satanic bar exam question that referred to the dreadfully scary existence of gay people. He then made the preposterous claim that answering the test question would have violated his Catholic faith and his First Amendment rights, because it would imply his support of gay marriage and parenting.  This man actually intended to be an attorney at law, but he seemed to have a prerequisite that the State of Massachusetts stick its head in the sand along with him and pretend, ever so intensely, that there really are no gay people at all.

Mr Dunne seems to prefer a society in which ancient superstitions are used as the basis for civil law. He apparently requires a social structure in which the most popular religious delusion in the local area is forced into the laws that apply to everyone. Perhaps he might enjoy Saudi Arabia or Iran, in those countries the idiotic religion IS the law.

Worcester MA Rapist Priest Trial Delayed for 33rd Time

Posted on August 25th, 2007 by Fagnit.
Categories: Court Cases, Dumbass Religions, Faith Based Bigotry, Homophobia, Priest Rape, Religious Fraud, Roman Catholic, child rape, editorials.

A Holy Roman Child Rape Church priest dodged justice for the 33rd time in Worcester, Massachusetts this week by continuing to pretend he is not competent to stand trial. The rapist/child molester/priest, who appeared all feeble and weak in a wheelchair in court, was seen later in the day walking unassisted at a highway rest stop.

Rev. John Szantyr, age 76, claims to be incapacitated, yet he still is able to cast the usual Catholic magic spells at religious services. In the typical shuffle of child molester priests, Szantyr now lives across state lines in Connecticut, but there is no current tally for how many children he may have raped in CT so far. Szantyr, who faces charges he molested an altar boy in Worcester in the mid-1980s, has already been ruled incompetent by a judge, but he just renewed his Connecticut driver’s license.

Meanwhile the Holy Roman Altar Boy Church regional corporate accounting center in Worcester continues their vehement opposition to equal civil rights for consenting adult gay couples that do nothing to harm children. They continue to lie about gay people while protecting child molesters.

Meanwhile some of the people in Massachusetts continue to take advice about morality from the organization that has a long, well-documented, court-proven history of conspiring to protect child molesters while simultaneously distracting people from the real threat to their families by spreading hatred and lies about gay people. This seems to support the statistical probability that half of the people in any given area have below average intelligence. In other words, there are dumbasses everywhere.

The Catholic Church seems to have a love affair with virginity, from bullshit fairy tales about imaginary Virgin Mothers, to raping innocent 12 year old virgin children. Perhaps celibacy is to priesthood as WMDs are to the Party of Jesus.

Why is it that we never hear of any Catholic priests who are revered for their lifelong virginity? Too many altar boys in cute little white dresses? Why does the Catholic Church continue to allow only men that are not interested in women to become priests? Is denial really just the longest river in Egypt, or is it also a prerequisite for joining the club and learning how to cast the magic Catholic spells (which do nothing at all anyway)?

The Catholic Church has developed their own version of the US military Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell policy. Don’t ask if your priest is a child molester, and Don’t Tell if little Jimmy comes home and says that Father Szantyr forced him to do stuff again.

And it’s all tax free, so they don’t even have to contribute financially to the prosecution of their own child molesters. Now that’s convenient.

Merv Griffin Dies in Billion Dollar Closet

Posted on August 22nd, 2007 by Fagnit.
Categories: Dumbass Religions, Faith Based Bigotry, Homophobia, Repugnicans, Roman Catholic, editorials.

Famous US show business billionaire and Palm Springs area resident Merv Griffin died this week, having lived for 82 years in the closet. Griffin was famous as a talk show host and enormously wealthy as a result of his very popular TV game shows.

News of Mr Griffin’s death as reported in most media glaringly omitted a very salient fact when presenting biographical details, it made no mention of the fact that he was a gay man. And of course neither did Merv in any public forum, he lived his entire life in the closet. As a youngster Griffin was afflicted with Catholicism.

Mr Griffin never did anything to harm the gay community, he was nothing like the homophobe hypocrite Party of Jesus legislators that spew hatred and lies against gay people during the day, then chase after children at night.

When a newspaper article revealed the fact that Merv had been a gay man the world famous news service Reuters first carried the story, then dropped it, shoving the corpse of one more dead fag back into the closet.

It’s a shame that Mr Griffin did not feel empowered to be honest about the very core of his identity. Maybe he was still afflicted with Catholicism as an adult. Of course he was a very wealthy man. In fact he was rich enough to be a Republican, maybe that explains a life of denial and deceit. After all, nobody is more frightened by a gay identity than a gay Republican.

There is a whole subculture here in the Palm Springs area, wealthy gay men that feel it is OK to be gay as long as you don’t admit it. It’s sort of a self-hating, self-denying, voluntary Don’t Ask Don’t Tell Republican country club society. I find it almost as creepy as Catholicism. Both cases are based on a deep-rooted denial of reality.

Still, it seems a shame. Take it from someone who lived the first half of his life in a place that was actually meant for storing clothing.

NOTE: the author lives in Palm Springs, CA with his queer husband.
