Jim Caviezel is a crazy Q-Anon idiot

Posted on by

I’ve never thought much of Jim Caviezel. The fact that he played Jesus in Mel Gibson’s “Passion of The Christ” is the only thing I know him from, with the possible exception of the movie “Frequency”. His personal life was never something that interested me, and he never struck me as anything more than a pretty face. How wrong I was!

Recently, he did an interview where he claimed that Trump was chosen by God to be a new “King David”. Shockingly, the guy is way more crazy than just having a strange fetish with the Orange Cheeto. This put him on my radar.

Caviezal has blamed playing Jesus as a reason for why he is considered “toxic” in Hollywood. However, recent interviews and comments about him have surfaced, and it sounds like there are other reasons he is not getting any acting gigs. He’s apparently a huge Q-Anon, and a massive racist, and a genuinely dumb person. According to people who worked with him,  he puts people in serious danger due to his neglect and sheer stupidity.

In one scene filmed in Manhattan, he supposed to be driving to chase someone. He’s just supposed to pull out and stop the car for the camera, instead goes full blast, runs a read light, and nearly hits 4 pedestrians. When asked why he would do such a thing, he says it’s “because that’s what the character would do”

To make matters worse, the guy also has been pushing something called the “Adrenochrome conspiracy theory” with his film “Sound of Freedom“. This movie is about a former government official who rescues kids who are kidnapped by global elites intent on sucking the adrenaline out of their dying bodies in order to make a magic formula to live forever. He is convinced that this is based on a true story (it reminds me of the movie Kickboxer and how it was also billed similarly), and believes that he has done humanity a great service making this disguised religious dud.

If you really want to know more about this guy, I recommend you listen to this QAnon Anonymous podcast about him. It’s quite funny.

Lifewise Academy is a walking lawsuit

Posted on by

If there’s one thing you have to give Evangelicals (and believe me, it’s only this one thing), you would have to admire their hustle. When it comes to shoving their religion down our throats, they are on a whole other level.

Take Lifewise Academy. Because of a law in Ohio called the “Released Time” which allows students to substitute their secular schooling for bouts of fundamentalist religious teachings, they have been allowed to operate with impunity for decades.

The rules of this “Release Time” are simple: so long as they are privately funded, and done outside of school property, they are allowed to bus children away off site to fill their little minds with whatever nonsense they want, so long as parents “consent” to it.

There are similar laws in other states, such as Illinois, and it’s clear that these are attempts by religious organizations to use public funding to promote their faiths. That’s why the law was successfully challenged in the 40’s Illinois by a woman named Vashti McCollum, whose son had been forced to attend one of these special classes, with predictable results:

James – the only student in his class not participating in the religion class – was subsequently pressured by his teachers to conform, and his parents were pressured by school officials to permit him to join the religion classes to help James “get along.” The McCollums were angered at their son’s ostracism by his teachers, which included James’s being forced to sit alone in a hallway while the other pupils attended religion classes.

Sounds about right. Despite any assurance from these organizers that non-believers are not pressured or subjected to these views, we all know that this is untrue. There is no doubt that because it is promoted by schools that is violates the Establishment Clause of the Constitution. Not only that, but they espouse a political view of the world that can only be described as Christian Nationalism.

 

New York Youth Pastor caught with Child Porn

Posted on by

I probably should be more specific in my headline, since this kind of thing has become so common, it’s almost impossible to come up with news titles.

In the case of a youth pastor at a Christian camp being caught for child pornography, I would say that apart from his name, Nathan Rogers, and his age, 39, everything about this story is what you’ve come to expect. The specifics are as follows: Rogers invited a young girl to his camper to change, and had setup a video camera beforehand to capture the moment. The girl noticed, and tried to delete the video out of a sense of humiliation, no doubt. Since we are no longer living in a society that keeps this kind of thing secret anymore, he has since plead guilty, and will be a registered sex offender when he gets out of prison. He faces up to 20 years for what he did.

Scientologist Danny Masterson gets life in Jail

Posted on by

Unless you’ve been living under a rock for the last 20 years, odds are that you may have heard, or even watched, a television program called “The 70’s Show”. The ensemble cast found great success in the early 2000’s with a hit sitcom, and they all eventually became big stars in their own rights. Many of the cast were scientologists, with Danny Masterson being the most high profile. With fame often comes trouble, and Danny’s sexual proclivities seem to have included some sexual assault on the side. Three women recently came forward accusing Danny of rape. Now, because the crime has occurred so long ago, the statue of limitation had expired. However, because of a special law in California that makes it so that any crime committed that carries a life sentence cannot fall under the statute, the fact that Danny was a recidivist meant that he was not facing trial.

When the prosecution first presented its case, it was largely barred from being able to mention Scientology, despite the fact that the church had been responsible for not only covering up the crime, but also punishing the women who came forward as well. This first trial ended in a mistrial as a result. The prosecution pursued a new trial, and this time, Scientology was “fair game”. Well, when it was all said and done, Danny was found guilty by a jury of his peers, and was sentenced to life in prison, with the possibility of parole when he ironically turns 70.

Now, not only is this the highest profile Scientologist to face serious prison time, it’s also only the beginning. A civil trial is brewing, and Lia Remini has also joined in and filed a lawsuit against Scientology for it’s various crimes, including human trafficking’s, child labor violations, and kidnapping. It’s very likely that the discovery alone for these trials is going to put the battered religion in the hot seat. There are many ex-Scientologists that are convinced that we are witnessing the end times for the religion, as a huge variety of lawsuits could be incoming once the facts of the cases are presented.

It’s an exciting time for those of us that have been waiting for their downfall. Stay tuned for more incredible news in the coming months!

Haitian Pastor leads flock astray

Posted on by

Haiti is not a pleasant place to be right now. Following the assassination of President Jovenel Moïse, the government has been unable to control roving criminal gangs. It’s safe to say that the country may be one of the most dangerous places in the world right now.

It’s why the following story is so terrifying. In an act of both stupidity and hubris,  a congregation lead by pastor Marcorel Zidor of the Evangelical Church of the Pool of Bethesda, organized a mass protest with congregants confronting one of the most notorious gang, demanding they leave. Armed with machetes and faith, these deluded fools were no match for the gang armed to the teeth and led by a mysterious man known only as Jeff (no, not this guy).

Police said in a statement that they had tried to convince the religious group to stop their plan “to avoid a carnage by criminals who have an arsenal of war.” Elbé noted that the group had not notified police about the protest as required and that officers were unable to halt the crowd partly because it had split up into two groups.

7 people are now confirmed dead, with an unknown number of injured. A tragedy that could easily have been averted. How many people want to bet that this irresponsible pastor gets a slap on the wrist for this?

Christian school owes 100 million in abuse lawsuit

Posted on by

We keep thinking that children being abused by Christian institution is something that was prevalent in the past. To be sure, when religious institutions were in control, it was a damn epidemic. But that’s not to say that there are still major abuses that are happening even in this modern, highly connected world.

For instance, take the Miracle Meadows School in Virginia. It was founded in the 1980’s, selling itself as an educational institute for troubled teens, run by Seventh Day Adventists. Judging by how it operated, it sounded more like Shawshank prison than a school:

I was on a what I thought was a family weekend away, headed home. Until I arrived at a big tan building instead. When we got there, I was dragged out of the car by a really tall man and lady. I cried and screamed for my mom , dad and brother to help me. The staff told them to drive off. As I kicked and screamed for “what felt like forever ”, I watched them drive off. I was wrestled to the ground and placed in handcuffs. From there I knew that this was it. I was stuck.

Their education techniques involved basically physically breaking kids down and mistreating them on a continual basis:

If you look at the videos for MMS it looks like a quaint little place in West Virginia, run by Christians. What they did not show was the staff waking us up in the middle of the night to run laps until we threw up, or being locked in isolation for weeks while copying down “social rules,” and memorizing many verses, or entire chapters, of the Bible. We were digging ditches for hours then told to fill them back in. Digging the feces-covered rocks out of the sewer, and wheeling them a mile up the road.

They just lost a lawsuit for over 100 million dollars which detailed horrible sexual and physical abuse. This was after losing another lawsuit from another group of victims for roughly 52 million. Attorneys said that there were countless victims, and that like in most cases of abuse, only a small minority of victims were willing to come forward about it. The list of accusations is truly harrowing:

The latest suit included allegations that some students became pregnant after being raped and were given abortions. Some children ranging in age from 7 to 12 were infected with sexually transmitted diseases after being assaulted by staff members, the suit claimed.

I mean how young can these victims get? Is there a limit to this kind of depravity? This institution operated for almost 40 years, spreading misery, STI’s, and mental scaring troubled teens that needed love, and received misery. How many more of these kinds of institutions are hiding in plain sight even today?

Illinois Publishes report on Catholic sexual Abuse

Posted on by

The Illinois Office of the Attorney General has just released it’s report of clerical abuse, and the numbers are staggering. Over 450 priests were found to have engaged in serious sexual abuses of almost 2000 children over the last 70 years (that’s an average of about 30 victims a year). This number was far higher than the paltry 103 the Illinois Diocese had self reported.

The investigation also revealed claims by at least 1,997 survivors who were sexually abused by the 451 Catholic clerics and religious brothers who are now publicly disclosed in Illinois as substantiated child sex abusers, numbers far greater than those reported by the Pennsylvania grand jury

Since no one is actually going to be held accountable for the equivalent of raping a small town, the report instead has a number of “suggestions” that the church has absolutely zero legal obligation to follow. The most reasonable, and least likely to be followed, is the request to reform the way they report crime (which has been “don’t ask don’t tell”). Unless people start going to jail over this, then there really is nothing to force the Catholic church to make any significant changes.

So, the end result is this: zero arrests, a 600 page report that exposes serious sexual abuse that will most likely be ignored by the general population. What exactly was the whole point of it then?

Oklahoma erodes Separation of Church and State

Posted on by

The Catholic church is a sneaky organization. It functions in the shadows, using the justice system as its cudgel in order to gain ground in their effort to regain dominance over society and our lives. It is all very gradual. For instance, when the government began to fund more playgrounds in schools, they went all the way to the Supreme Court (a known friend of religion these days) and pursued a judgement which declared that they too could receive funds, since playgrounds are not educational material.

Now their move is more overt. In Oklahoma, the effort to fund chartered religious schools have been realized, and now tax dollars are being used to fund these indoctrination centers. Its a clear violation of their constitution, but this didn’t stop their government from approving of such nonsense. Now, the population is equally divided over the issue, which is not usually the case.

To be clear, the debate isn’t whether or not believers can set up their own schools. The government still allows parents to deny a proper education in favor of homeschooling, and plenty of private religious “educational” institutions litter the country. Worse still, these Catholic tricksters even get the government to pay their tuition for students who don’t have access of public schools. No, this is specifically the fact that taxpayers, already inadvertently paying for religious organizations by their refusal to pay taxes, are now forced to shell out money to ensure that an insecure and controlling religion can be forced upon people.

With the Supreme Court stacked the way it is, I wouldn’t be surprised if any pending lawsuits this results on a state level will undoubtedly lead to more favorable decisions by a justice system now completely tainted by religion. It’s ironic that, in a world where there are fewer religious people than ever in the population, they have more power than ever. Our indifference to their actions has cost us dearly, and will continue to do so.

Woman shot over Pride Flag by Religious extremist

Posted on by

Ignorance is tragedy, especially when it turns someone into a violent maniac. On Friday, August 18th, Laura Ann “Lauri” Carleton was shot and killed after an argument erupted with a customer at her store. The reason for the row? Laura had proudly displayed the pride flag outside of her shop, and this greatly angered Travis Ikeguchi, who decided that the way to resolve this dispute was to include Smith & Wesson into the mix. When the police arrived and demanded he drop his weapon, his 9mm handgun did the talking, and officers responded in kind.

All that remains of this sad, angry man are his hateful social media posts, which spoke predictably of the evils of abortion and homosexuality, care of his faith based upbringing. As for Laura, she was well loved in the community, so much so that film director Paul Fieg wrote about his loss.

“Our wonderful friend Lauri Carlton (seen in this picture) was murdered yesterday in her store @magpi_shop in Lake Arrowhead by a 27 year old man who didn’t like that she had a large pride flag hanging outside of her shop,” he wrote. “He ripped it down and when she confronted him about it he shot and killed her… Lauri Carleton was my friend. She was a wonderful person who did so much for the LGBTQ+ community as well as the community at large. What happened to her is an absolute tragedy. If people don’t think anti-gay & trans rhetoric isn’t dangerous, think again”

These are strong words, but they lack the fundamental element that allows this degree of hate to foment in the first place. You’ll find at the root cause is still religious organizations, and their murderous obsession with making the whole world fit into their narrow world view. It angers me still that everyone always fails to point out the gigantic elephant in the room.

Young Woman Paralyzed after visit to Chiropractor

Posted on by

Imagine for a moment that you have a sore neck, and a friend suggests to you that you should go visit a chiropractor. Like most people in pain, you are desperate for relief, and figure that you have nothing to lose by going. Except that in some cases, you do have a lot to loose, like in the case of Caitlin Jensen, a 29 year old women who was paralyzed last year when a chiropractor (or as I like to call them, medical fraudsters) manipulated her neck and broke it, causing her to have a stroke. She is now paralyzed and requires the use of a wheelchair to get around. Her recovery has been slow, but she is lucky to be alive after being the latest victim of an industry without oversight.

When are people going to wake up and realize that chiropractic “medicine” is nothing but a bullshit pseudoscience peddled by people too lazy or stupid to attend medical school. These scammers take money from people, cracking their backs and neck without any real medical training. If you trust your life and future to these charlatans, you might just end up like poor Caitlin. What a waste.

The Dali Lama is Disgusting

Posted on by

What do the words of a child abuser mean to you? How about when that person is a religious leader of an entire faith? Last February, the Dali Lama (aka Tenzin Gyatso) was caught kissing a young Indian boy on the mouth, and asking him to “suck his tongue”. His spokespeople were quick to try and dismiss the act as something quite innocent:

“His holiness often teases people he meets in an innocent and playful way, even in public and before cameras. He regrets the incident.”

Yes, I love it when I’m teased by a sexually repressed human being that has the least healthy relationship with sex of any class of person. We can only guess as to what this man does when the cameras aren’t around. If you still think that this cult leader is anything more than a disguised abuser, then I don’t know what to tell you.

The S.I.S.T. cult

Posted on by

In the 1970’s, a recent convert to Christianity named Rama Behera moved to the town of Shawano after a “vision” had told him to spread the word of the Lord. Like many grifters and opportunists before him, this mission would require the control over the lives of others. Behera’s targets had been primed with the idea of God, and the belief that to fill their spiritual angst, total submission to “the word”, generously interpreted by him, was required. To gain legitimacy, he needed only to give himself a new name and an impressive title. He chose Dr. Rama Chandra Samanta Roy, and his congregation was called “The Disciples of the Lord Jesus Christ”. In a 1970’s disillusioned with the spiritual messaging of the free love generation, which had failed to deliver on it’s promises of spiritual fulfillment, the rigid discipline of an “old fashioned religion” might have appealed to hippies looking for something new.

The world evolved and changed, and Roy was not about to let a chance to rebrand slip by. As the 21st century dawned, the excitement of the future, and the promises of new technology represented a deep well of credibility and gravitas that was ripe for exploitation. Enter the Samantha Roy Institute of Science and Technology. Not content with only changing the name of his organization, Rama eventually followed suit with a brand new moniker, this time to Avraham Cohen. Not only does such a change allow for a brand new start, it also tends to help mask ones activities. The name change also reflected the constant flux of his religious doctrine. Followers have described his theology as “confusing” [2] It also signifies his changing ideology, from a mutated form of Christianity to an unrecognizable Judaism.
Their acronym, which is pronounced “cyst”, has much in common with the medical condition. Like a cancerous growth, when left to its own devices, it can become malignant and dangerous, two words that perfectly describes Mr. Cohen.  There is much about the man that is a mystery, but what is known of him, and his actions, indicate the classic signs of a malignant narcissist.

His grueling prayer meetings, which last sometimes up to 8 hours, are exercises in bladder control. He forbids his members from leaving to go to the bathroom, with some people actually soiling themselves as a result. He frequently enforces long fasts, only to break them with inedible or often spoiled food that he forces his members to eat. It is unclear if this type of torture is meant simply for continued control or for his sick pleasure. Neither answer would surprise me.

Before you think that everyone enraptured by this man is a victim, keep in mind that the man in the video was sentenced to prison for sexually abusing his daughter. He claims that he had long lost control of his actions due to Cohen’s domination, with others testifying on his behalf. He pleaded guilty, but maintained his innocence, blaming group pressure for the abuse. No charges, however, involved anyone but him.

“One of the problems we ran into was the statute of limitations,” said Sheriff’s Department Investigator Randall Giese, who was part of that investigation. “And people involved in the group during the time frame that would put it in the statute of limitations won’t talk to us.”

You’ll find there’s a common thread when hearing the stories of victims of cults; usually they are searching for answers. This vulnerability is something very few of them are aware until they meet with someone charismatic that offers a set of beliefs and behaviors that appear, at first, to fulfill their desires. This is the mechanism these predators employ in order to exert their will upon others.

In Roy’s business dealings, he takes over the businesses of his followers, and withholds the funds they receive, presumably to himself alone. His finances are a mystery, but he’s become the most powerful figure in Shawano.

People do not have ideas. Ideas have people. This is the inherent danger of ideology. It seems that certain ideas have a way of overriding our common sense or even our notions of right and wrong. This is what makes religion so dangerous; it claims divine authority over every aspect of life, and its invented ideology often directly conflict with the needs of the individual, and the proper functioning of society. The tragedy is that people still think that religion is essential for the survival of society. And yet by every available metric, societies that have rejected faith have a higher standard of living. The evidence seems clear.

Even Christians think “God’s not Dead” sucks

Posted on by

By now, I’m sure you’ve all heard about this movie: God’s Not Dead. It’s the story of a bunch of Christians getting suckered out of their money, saving God from a bunch of super meany atheists. Like most of the cheesy crap they throw on film, this particular Christian movie is like a giant cameo of failed careers. Kevin Sorbo plays a hateful atheist teacher who rejects God when his mother dies of cancer when he’s 12, while his equally underemployed pal Dean Cain plays a man so self-absorbed, he dumps his partner when she finds herself diagnosed with cancer (for failing at not dying of cancer).

Now, I won’t go into detail about the film. Dan Fincke already wrote a behemoth article about it, so if you want to know precisely why the film sucks, you can read his review. I was more interested in how other Christians would respond to it.

A blog called “Gospel Spam” recently reviewed it, and despite a few nice things to say, the reviewer basically took a giant crap all over it:

Christian film writing has been notoriously bad since its beginning. Almost every Christian film you’ve ever seen has followed a template: an emotional story line which is a bit unrealistic using gratuitous tear-jerkers to illicit some gratuitous tears with the obligatory tip of the hat gospel presentation worked in not so subtly to make it clear that this is a Christian film because its aim is to evangelize…

When you have good actors and good technical presentation, this is where bad writing just jumps off the screen and spits in your face.

The rest of the review is fine, until the author gets to the part where – despite being somewhat sympathetic to the fact that atheists were mischaracterized in the movie – displays his own severe lack of understanding about what it means not to believe in fairy-tales:

While I do believe that some atheists are atheists because of personal tragedy and many of them are former Christians, atheists are atheists because they love their sin (Romans 1:18). They suppress the truth they already know in unrighteousness…While atheists deny the God they already know exists, they do so because they hate Him and love sin. For a primer on the condition of man, read Romans 3:10-18.

How is this any fucking better than the bullshit in God’s not Dead? It’s the same mischaracterization, the same ‘demonization’ as the crap on celluloid he’s reviewing. Hey buddy, if you’re going to try and come to the defense of non-believers, how about doing a little fucking research outside of the New Testament, dude?

Ray Comfort calls out Neil deGrasse Tyson

Posted on by

It’s time to sit back, put on your dirty pair of slippers, and listen carefully as ‘renowned scientist’ Dr. Ray Comfort carefully explains why the new “Cosmos” is wrong, and why the Bible is scien-terrific.

I know most of you won’t make it past the first few minutes, and seeing as though everyone on the show is a failed comedian, I dug into it to extract the juicy little nuggets for ya:

“You know, the word ‘science,’ it’s kind of a magical word, I believe in science. It just means knowledge, that’s all it means. There’s different areas of science, different areas of knowledge. When you say the Bible is not a science book, you’re saying it’s not a knowledge book? It tells us how God created the Earth!”

“It gives us the basis for all creation, and it passes the scientific method. It’s observable – Genesis – and testable. Evolution is not. You can’t observe something 60 million years old, but you can observe what Genesis says.”

My head hurts. I guess to old Ray, the word ‘observe’ is understood in a very literal way: seeing with your eyes. If you can’t see it, it doesn’t exist (I wouldn’t try and take that argument too far, Ray)! Now, I know that you can technically ‘see’ a chapter in the Bible called Genesis, but by that logic, a radioactive spider-bite can give someone the ability to dress up in leotards and throw a few cars at bad guys.

Here’s the thing though: Ray is brilliant at marketing. The only reason he did this video was because of the way these topics are trending online (Cosmos, Neil, and the Noah movie). Releasing his own shitty Noah based show the same day as the blockbuster movie is smart. Crazy smart. And his nicely designed pamphlets and fake dollar bills are collectible worthy promotional materials. This is why he’s successful. So, as terrifying as it sounds, we need to learn from this man.

Just nothing about science, for fuck’s sake!

NOTE: I should mention that near the end, Comfort claims that Neil is a believer, simply because he’s never called himself an atheist, and has typically evaded the issue. I know he hates labels, but when you don’t adopt them, people give one to you anyways. Better to be clear then go into the nuances of one’s beliefs, IMO

This is what a stupid comment looks like

Posted on by

Every so often, someone visits the site and leaves a comment so frustrating and idiotic, I can’t help but re-post it for all to see. The latest pearl of wisdom comes from a commenter named Connor, who thought I was being unfair in my analysis of the highly dangerous ‘imagine your Lyme disease away’ scam called Advanced Cell Training. Here’s what he had to say:

Good Atheist, I would like to start by acknowledging the fact that I cannot prove God’s existence to you, just as much as you cannot disprove his existence to me. So let us refrain from attacking the spiritual position in this process, seeing as neither of us are qualified to have a position.

I love this ‘you can’t disprove the existence of my deity argument’ that religious rubes throw around as though it means something. I can’t disprove the invisible pink unicorn, or Russell’s celestial teapot, but who cares? The burden of proof is always on those making an extraordinary claim. It isn’t my job to go around trying to disprove the countless invented gods whose attributes conveniently lie outside the realm of natural, testable laws.

Readers, please keep bias in mind. This article was written by an atheist. This means that the moment the author discovered prayer was involved in ACT, his personal belief system rejected everything about it. He mentally cannot cope with the possibility of success in ACT because at its core, it goes against his definition of reality. This discredits his article at its core, because it is not solely an attack on ACT. It is also an attack on religion itself. Part of his thinking process is that since it involves prayer, it must be fraud. Because to him, prayer isn’t real. So when you say your [sic] talking to God, he will laugh in your face.

I might ask you to prove you aren’t just talking to yourself before I laugh, although most of the time, the total ignorance on display usually makes me want to cry. How human beings can still cling to Bronze Age myths in light of the greatest scientific revolution in the history of our species is depressing, not hilarious.

It’s not just my ‘reality’ that praying flies in the face of. Every single study in regards to praying has shown it has absolutely no effect. But this sort of proof is likely to fall on deaf ears accustomed to hearing that comforting thoughts have some form of effect on the natural world. It doesn’t. My lack of belief only makes me less gullible.

How can one be so sure about something he’s never tried? I believe you read other people’s blogs, and made your own decision on whether or not this works. That is fair. However, to read other people’s “beliefs” and to regurgitate them as your own while stating it in such a factual manner only reveals your inability to truly understand the process. This discredits you more than you know, making you simply another “blogger with a position on something he’s never tried.”

It’s fairly easy to judge the merit of so-called ‘medical treatments’ by examining their claims, and then testing them using standard methodologies. If ACT practitioners claim praying and performing superstitiously driven activities improved their health, then we can easily do a double blind test to find if the effects are more significant than a simple placebo. These kinds of tests happen all the time with legitimate medical research, and it’s still the best way to determine if something important is actually going on. ‘Trying it’ is about as scientific as ‘shove your finger in this socket and see what happens!’

So friends, I implore you to use this critical thinking that the “good atheist” talks about. Will you try this risk free, to save a life? Or will you sit here reading this blog post on someone else’s personal opinion. Maybe I am just a leader, but i [sic] prefer making my own judgements [sic] off experience rather than what the general populous has to say.

A leader? In terrible thinking perhaps, but there’s nothing in this entire comment that sounds compelling in the slightest. It’s the same trope religious people offer all the time: just try it, and it’ll change your life! All you need to do is surrender any of your actual critical thinking skills and simply embrace the idea that praying, magical thinking, and the giant bearded anthropomorphized deity in the sky aren’t just stupid constructs of your mind, but actually real! Hey, I wonder if this guy is going to end his useless rant with some kind of annoying Bible quote for good measure…

“Unless I see in His hands the imprint of the nails, and put my finger into the place of the nails, and put my hand into His side, I will not believe.” (John 20:25) Christians, where is your faith?

In the garbage bin of history, I’d wager; just like the rest of the other pathetic excuses for cosmogonies which have come and gone.
